Get out yer 3D specs, folks!
.
I found this offering of Keiichi Matsuda’s over at Bruce Sterling’s blog. Matsuda’s work has been profiled here before with an earlier work entitled “Domestic Robocop”. It showed a barrage of augmented reality imagery overlaid with normal day-to-day activities which we will very likely become immersed in within the very near future.
That sort of conjectural simulation of AR only gets better when it’s rendered in 3D.
To be fair, this looks a lot better than the dinky little frame I can offer here n these blog pages – so go to the YouTube page and watch it full rez and full screen.
I know most of us shrink from the possibility of being overwhelmed with visual information already in this intensely technically optimistic and granularly fucked up world of ours – but I really think this shit is just so fucking cool.
I, for one, can’t wait to join the Borg. Then we can get all Pew! Pew! Pew! on the asshats in charge. A middle-aged transhumanist cyborg wannabe can dream, can’t he?
Cheers.
P. S. Posting this prompted me to look back through my other AR posts and I came up with this one from a full year ago. Geez – actually makes it sound like I know what the fuck I’m talking about. Go figure.
