The Toys of Tomorrow
I love toys. Fews things make me as happy as wandering through aisles of toy stores on the hunt for the future. I work on visualization systems at work and toys are a way for me to see what kids are acclimating to. I’ve recently been on the lookout for toys that integrate with phones. I have a suspicion that phones will become the platform to holodeck type experiences in the near future. I want to share two devices I’ve recently discovered, the Apptoyz appBlaster and the Hasbro my3D.
Reserve a Spot for the DC Drive-In at Union Market
DCist has a writeup on the newly announced DC summer drive-in movies at Union Market. Looks like there are plans to use the large white wall of the market to show movies! I’ll be walking over to catch these films. If you intend to drive there are extra spots available even though car spot reservations are all booked up.
NASA and Apple Work Together to Create Visions of Harmony for Juno Jupiter Mission
Apple teamed with NASA to create a stunning 8-minute short film about NASA’s Juno Mission.
NASA and Science Fiction Panel at East Tennessee State University
I was invited to speak on the closing panel about NASA and science fiction at East Tennessee State University’s (ETSU) first ETSUcon. The talk was held on April 27, 2013 in Johnson City, Tennessee. I jumped at the opportunity to unofficially talk about the cool projects I’ve been working on the past few years.
Dr. John C. Mather & Dr. George F. Smoot’s 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics
I realize I’m 7 years late but I want to share this interesting medal I saw today. This is the 2006 Nobel Prize for Physics currently located in the lobby of NASA Headquarters in Washington, DC.
Shareable Parts of Reality
Will the next big content format contain bits of reality? USDZ could be a hint of things to come. Imagine programmable self-contained bits of volumetric information that can be shared with others. The process will be simple:
1. Scan a real clock
2. Program the digital version of the clock
3. Share the clock and it’s code as a single file so that others can instantiate it in their reality.
