A long time asm coder, free/shareware writer John McCarthy (google "3d Vect", "OuterRidge" and "Fortified"), has just released his new game (originally it was just a screensaver demo, but now there is a playable demo) of his new game sonic speedsters. Lot of fun, I have a copy myself.
Can someone else confirm or deny this? I've read about 3 papers from that 'peer reviewed' journal and they just seem like little soapboxes for the authors; I could read through the linked paper, it was reading like an editorial....
I thought it was just the author of the papers I was reading but I am begining to think its' encouraged by the journal..
A quick scan of the paper doesn't really show any data..I see words like 'agents' and 'complexity' but not much data...unless someone can give a convincing arguments otherwise I stand by my assertion that it's just a load of bunk.
(Disclaimer: I don't think I am a trekkie...I watched TNG becuase it was most days after school (not that I didn't like it)...and I watch DS9 whenever I see it on (wish I could've seen more)...can't remember the last *trek movie I saw before Nemisis).
I think the basic premise for the next *trek would need a drastic departure from the current "feeling" of the movies and series...that last movie felt like a (not so great) normal episode....
How about the next movie (after at least a year and a half) would feature the return of Wes as a Q-like God. The movie could explore the issues of personal failure, fear and (unimaginable) success. The climax could focus on a menage-en-trois battle between a Q, starship and Wes....
People would freak if they saw Wes in the trailer....this would be just the spark *trek needs to demonstrate to it's fans it can give them something that they've never seen and will enjoy swallowing....
There was never a home Street Fighter II port like the on the 3DO. My friend bought one for that sole game and was never dissappointed... Both the music and graphics were head and shoulders above the playstation/saturn/dreamcast ports that I have seen.

The thing I really don't get with all the wearable computer baloney is, what can you not accomplish with a small computer that you have in your pocket (i.e. a cell phone computer) as opposed to a "wearable" one?
I'm still really pissed off about those palistineans dancing in the streets with joy while downtown Manhattan was busy getting covered in 2 inches of soot.
That's funny, cause the Afghani's were just so happy to hear songs about 'putting a boot in their ass'. They were going to concerts and everything..oh wait...that was the Americans.. but it's ok, our celebration of agression is justified. Their's isn't, cause they're just a bunch of backward people who believe in a book of crazy made up stuff.
It seems fair to allow someone to cheer for a side in war, despite the unspeakable reality of the actions.
Was a really cool, pre VRML rendering system, scene description language (with animation!) that worked really well on the old hardware. I got a powerglove working with it, and wrote a powerglove demo myself (there were a few examples out there). THose were the days.
Pretty extravagant name for dynamic range recovery.... If you read the literature, there are other techniques that actually are more sound and do a better job (Debevec's work is at least visually impressive). Most importantly they don't obfuscate the technique by introducing weird ass names and terminolgy to be special.
I don't know anyone that has hyped up their thesis work like has. For god's sake it's a poorly written 10-year old program, that doesn't work very well.
Yay! Finally, after reading all the comments from people who have met/worked with him, it appears that I am not the only one who sees him as an outright jerk...next time don't post AC.
No brainwashing involved. Just pickup a copy of "Intelligent Image Processing, Vol. 1" (ISBN:0471406376) and read chapter three if you do not understand the advantages of eyetap. Also you can find all his journal papers on his website linked above.
Oh right if it's in a book it has to be true!
There are tonnes of clear example of augmented reality HMD's before any of Mann's publications.
Please tell me how
this is worse than staring at some low resolution TV screen hooked to a motherboard under your sweater while carrying around a car battery?
You poor brainwashed ECE1766, his whole "eyetap" nonsense is garbage...please enlighten us and tell us why a crummy mirror and digital camera is "so much better" than what xybernaut has?
I worked for this guy, HE DOES NOT HAVE IMPLANTS of any kind, and most of the time I saw him he wasn't wearing his wearcomp, it's not like he's sonsry dependant on the thing.

They just seem like normal 'ol technical illustrations...

Email me if you want a screenplay
Try to get vgremix (http://www.vgremix.com) and
overclocked mp3 archives...
Also try to collect all the anime music video you can....

Like this one
I've read that the notion of quanta first came about from Boltzmann's statisical mechanics, with the notion of entropy coming in discrete units....

An ion is simply a charged atom OR molecule, thus just about every ion is a molecules.
Here are some other molecules that are ions is solution:
DNA
Protien
Acetate

and there is a far better set of tools (albiet still quite trivial programming) for combining/viewing high range images:

the dpiv viewer is nice.
Don't worry about ti cheezfreak.
I've worked in this guy lab and you are right; the technique isn't all that useful. Sorry that you got modded down.

Oh you're just too good:
How could the security dudes not realize what an incredib;e achievement Mann's gear is?
To be so completely integrated into one's computers - it must be a godlike feeling, to have all that data available at will.
I know this is something that's not really going to sound right, but "rape" is the best word I can think of to describe this.
STICKING A MONITOR IN FRONT OF YOUR EYES DOES NOT MAKE YOU A GOD-COMPUTER HYBRID!
Even though he has hooked himself up to an portable eecg thing, I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually do anything.
IHBT IHL IWHAND.
IT's pretty much plain jane PC hardware, poorly wired together....
That was a great troll, truly masterful.

While damaged equipment etc. is a valid point,
people are acting as if he had been violated by asking him to remove his computers.
Tell me if Mann was middle eastern guy, do you think no one would have minded him wearaing a bunch of computers and wires and getting on a plane?

His diminshed reality stuff is a joke, it's all post processed video...I've seen better on "blind date"....
