The next phase in web design will be the transition to 3D video game style interface and immersion. Adobe seems to agree.
After that, the web will transition to AI driven content. Google seems to agree.
New 3D Printing Tech Breaks Speed Limit
Posted: March 24, 2012 Filed under: 3D Printing, Augmented Reality, Biology, chemistry, Fashion, Food, Ideas, Robots, Science, Software, Space, Sports, Technology, Urban Planning, Weapons Leave a comment »3D Laser printing jumps from millimeters per second to 5 meters per second. Check it.
3D printing has the potential to revolutionize physical property. Factories (mass production) and supply chains could be replaced by file sharing and printing objects on demand. There is also a trend in printing cellular structures like human organs for transplant and perhaps foodstuff like cruelty free meat. This technology is advancing quickly.
Computer Vision = 36 Million Faces Per Second

Biometric identification is the new ID Card. Also, face identification software can be used in web searches of stills and video, including any video or photo of you uploaded onto the web ever (even if you are in the background). Your future employer (stalker, loan officer, insurance rep, parole officer, husband or wife) may be watching.

AR (Augmented Reality) Now

Example of AR 2012. Garage level view.
The biggest reason I’m geeked about AR is something I picked up from MIT AI researcher Marvin Minsky. Western culture has been working with a Gutenberg 2D representation of reality for the past 500+ years. We’re about to jump into new paradigm based on 3D representation. This is major!

They can be optimistic and exciting, but are they real?
It’s another thing when there are release dates.
Here is Google’s executive chairman Eric Schmidt hyping his companys work on driverless cars and holography.
It’s on: AR HUD glasses, AR HUD windshields on Driverless cars, ubiquitous computing with holographic interface. Welcome to the 21st century!
T-Shirt of the FUTURE!

What does this mean?
Your T-Shirt will be able to scavange energy from sunlight as well as your bodyheat and kinetic movements. Read about nanophotonics and nanoelectronics.
Of course, energy scavanging will make much more sense once we have ultra low power computers. Read about DARPAs 75Giga Flop per Watt challenge.
So what good is intelligent clothing, curtains, wallpaper, books, carpets, windows, doors etc etc etc? For one thing, you can turn any surface into a video display. Read MIT Technology Review’s article on video clothing.
Will this allow for new expressions of social pigmentation? Like cuttlefish.
Perhaps this will lead to malware attacks that turn your shirt into animated Viagra ads. Or your shirt will get hacked by Nigerian bankers that will try to convince you to invest in pyramid schemes while you sleep. At very least it will make primitive invisibility cloaks very cheap. Stalkers of the world, rejoice!
