Raph's Website (29) permalink
Again, sorry for typos. Bruce Sterling, Future of Entertainment Hello, thanks for having me into your event today, and thanks for that intro. Though there is a problem with that, I am not Bruce Sterling. He couldn’t make it, he sent me instead. The reason he couldn’t make it is that in 2043, Bruce is 89. Dr. Sterling is too frail to get into a time machine to talk to game devs, so he called ...- ChristopherA said: Great post from 2043 on the future of entertainment.

TC50: Tag real-world objects with Sekai Camera’s iPhone tool from the future » VentureBeat (7)
on
VentureBeat (492) permalink
Tonchidot just revealed its Sekai Camera, a system for using online data to navigate the real-world, at the TechCrunch50 conference in San Francisco. I thought this was incredibly cool, and the audience agreed — it kept applauding and cheering throughout the presentation. The idea is to use location-based data to tag real-world objects, and to present that information as a graphical layer over the images you bring up in your iPhone camera — much more ...Shared by David (6) deanterry (0) John Swords (0) Joseph (0) Nate (31) Ross Dawson (2) willdeluca (18)- Nate said: This sounds oddly like something that was in the Android product demo.

If you haven’t noticed in the past 4 months slowly all the techies, bloggers, VCs, soccer moms, etc… refer to compete.com for all site traffic. WTF happened to Alexa? Remember them, we use to clamor over those #s for our sites and others to prove that we are worth some valuation . And before that a few of us checked out technorati.com to see how we stacked up in the internet world. There’s also quantcast ...Shared by Eli (43) John Swords (0)Contribute comment -

There’s nothing to fear but Gere himself. Balloono is out soon! In the meantime, we will be releasing a game called Hamster Battle. It’s basically like an arena deathmatch of hamsters with rocket launchers and homing missiles. It’s almost ready!

Para qué te lo voy a contar si puedes ver el vídeo tú mismo, jeje.
- Eddie said: i've wanted something like this for a while now, if only for a command line interface to the web. yubnub is too slow, and is often down. firefox smart keywords are ok but require an extra bounce and extra (server-side) coding if i want to do anything fancy.
- ryan.capote said: This is really cool, watch the video!
- Pradeep said: Awesome!Have been playing with it since yesterday evening. It is most certainly the Quicksilver (http://bit.ly/1XVYsZ) of the web. And they seem to be intent on revolutionizing the way we access the web. (Also, check out Adaptive Path's video for Mozilla Labs' concept web series: http://adaptivepath.com/aurora/)Install (https://people.mozilla.com/~avarma/ubiquity-0.1.xpi) and type "command-list" to get the complete list of built-in commands.Or ubiq "command-editor" and build your own commands. May be something to 'select a text, add a note and post-to-reader'!It's also possible to embed Ubiquity commands in webpages. How will the web react? Think of the possibilities for a frequent user on a massive destination like Amazon or Yahoo!They admit that the whole thing is "messy" and "cluttered" (sample: hyphenated commands) but I can firmly say that they are heading in the right direction.Hmmm...now, about the lost mojo...[http://bit.ly/3xtnj7]

- Cameron said: This is awesome, its like Quiksilver/Launchy for the web!
- Johan Lopes said: taking web browsing to the next level
- Geoffrey Wiseman said: Looks interesting; would like to see where this goes.
- Erik Arvidsson said: This looks really cool. I wonder how useful it will be in practice?
- Jonny M said: wow, folks like this are amazingly smart...
- Federico Pistono said: The coolest application I've ever seen in my life so far.
- zappy said: Co-worker showed it to me. You can do funny stuff with any webpage but it is only local. Also reminded me of Quicksilver for the web.
- Olof said: Det här är coolt på allvar!
