Augmented AR Glasses

 


In the near future AR glasses will become massively popular.

I predict:
The outer layer of the lens that other people see could be a video screen showing a video of the eyes of the user. This will allow a tracking system to continue to focus the eyeball video to look like it’s looking at the person that they are speaking to at all times while allowing the user to read text displayed to them inside the lenses. This will get rid of distracting eye movements for the other person to see. Horrible to think how we will be tuning out of conversations while looking attentive.
Another, more interesting thought:
This outer video displays on the lenses could show much more empathy and compassion than the user knows how to show using AI to display the most appropriate eye expressions according to the conversations.
Or…show cartoonish eyes or whatever we want to show in place of our eyes.

Living in a Simulator

  We are all probably living in a simulator. If you extrapolate the ever increasing realism of the “metaverse” over the next hundred years, considering that the largest companies are now dumping tens of billions of dollars into it, you will come to realize that we will reach total realism in this virtual world, not being about to tell real from fake. The next mental leap, easy enough taken, allows you to realize that if we can achieve it, then it probably has already been achieved before somewhere in the universe. Whoever achieves this ability will be able to make unlimited virtual versions of this universe in simulations. Therefore, there is a good chance, or actually almost definite chance that we are living inside of a simulation as in the Matrix. Ok, many of you have already taken this in. Now, I have to ponder another inevitability that I alone seem to ponder. The reason for life. If all life tends to evolve toward complexity in the long run, then the end goal will be to evo

Perfection

We all remember being in writing class class at some point in school with the teacher explaining in depth the true, underlying, meaning of some story as most of us scratched our heads, strongly suspecting that the teacher was full of shit. I’m reminded of this as I read a book about a piano player describing how the left and right hands contribute to the story, portraying full ranges of emotion and every other element that makes a story great. There must be high points, recovery time from those highs, humorous parts, chase scenes, and resolution. Similarly with an artist. How the blank space belittles the subject, how the bold reds and subtly painted eye direction let the viewer in on the subjects true intentions. In performances of all kinds. Motion telling a compelling story, balanced in rhythm, contrasting sections to shock the audience, or flowing, breezy lines of motion pulling at the heart strings. The best teachers always emphasize this adherence to story. Most of us inward

Temporally Symmetrical Consciousness

Image
After reading an article the other day describing a new theory that time may be symmetrical, running backwards at the end of the universe, I began to contemplate that reverse universe. The opposite of entropy and everything that ever happened going backwards. The universe would be devoid of consciousness, or would it? You may remember some records created to play back spoken words when played backwards. Sure, not too hard, but consciousness? Perhaps this will remain in the realm of fantasy till the day that we create our post life consciousness that will have virtually limitless intelligence. Perhaps, if they find that time is symmetrical, they will then endeavor to create such a consciousness. I’m fascinated by this reversible consciousness idea. It’s kind of nice to have Dark Matter and Dark Energy as unknowns to mentally see if what we know about it would fill in the missing puzzle piece of some grand conjecture. Perhaps this one?
