you know what would have been awesome? He's giving this big speech about virtual reality to the crowd. he finishes to thunderous applause and then he removes the VR headset... and he's standing in his bathroom in his house alone. And he starts crying. Boom. Mindblown.
actually. it's mixed reality, if you want to get technical. virtual reality - all objects are virtual mixed reality - mixture of real and virtual objects augmented reality - heads up display around real objects
if you want to get technical mixed reality doesn't exist. virtual reality is when you put a headset on and you're on the moon augmented reality is when you put a digital overlay on the real world and digital objects interact with the real world. if you want to be technical that is
hiitsmescott augmented reality is not a heads-up display you're completely wrong. A heads up display is just a heads up display. augmented reality is when you have digital objects interacting with the real world mixed reality is a fake term it's just a marketing term that magic leap basically made up because they didn't want to call their technology augmented reality. magic leap is augmented reality meta 2 is augmented reality and hololens is augmented reality mixed reality is a fake term. augmented reality is not a heads-up display a heads-up display has nothing to do with any of that technology whatsoever
It's cool to see Meta again. They've been on the forefront of this for a long time and went under the radar some time ago. EDIT: Oh wow, the specs on this are impressive. Especially the field of view. It's much larger than the HoloLens.
WoWWWWWW!!! This is massive!! Super Super Super Potential.....so happy to be alive now at this time......Yipeee we are in for a super big unprecedented universe evolution....super superb...super superb..super superb...thanks!!!
Cool technology. It should be used for more! I will be glad if it becomes popular in all spheres of people's lives. Keep up the good work, you have a lot of potential.
+Jos Ossef Yeah, I was thinking something along those lines...but to expand on that a bit...think about our daily interaction with reality itself. If virtual reality were to become so advanced that you could not distinguish it from normal reality... how would you know the difference? The ultimate virtual reality is the experience of being alive IMO.
+HigherPlanes Well, as far as it won't become a killing machine I think we are about okay. If you get a small cut, be in pain and bleed a bit you might expect to be in the "real reality" but if this somehow isn't the case we have then crossed one line too many in this perspective.
+Mikael Koli I'm not sure I follow you on the last part. Are you saying that cutting oneself and not feeling pain in suggestive of a simulated reality?

It's something cool and incredible - the ability to touch a hologram with your hands. The development of such things makes a big breakthrough for humanity. Meta 2 is our future.
+azez1992 I think he meant traditional computing interfaces. For most people, holograms like this would me more than enough to watch videos, check emails, and read documents. Me personally, it ain't happening, especially with how terrible the color reproduction can be with this.
All these AR and VR platforms need to agree on setting one programming language to create content before it becomes like the mac, pc, and mobile phones language dilemma.
He should've simply gone back to basics and used terms like OS and GUI. As much as I agree that IOS is a good plan on how to create something user-intuitive, he should not have mentioned it by name.
He didn't make anything, didn't have any idea neither. He's just talking about how great the Hololens is. I bet my fur a female manager of TED choose him, I also think she's the one choosing the awful Psychology talks for TED.
Valken Radical dude. Look at this, like, spacey stuff. I know brain things. Like... we were meant to manipulate things with hands man... like hands maaaaan, look at me answer this phone call, and it's totally not awkward or cumbersome man. *sarcasm* The future of technology is discreet gestures done with the fingers and voice control, not awkward sweeping motions. Edit: Imagine ASL but MUCH easier.
Humanity will take a step forward with the advent of such technologies in mass access. Already, such inventions will facilitate the work of many professions, as well as make learning much easier.
People need to be able to type and text. Additional hardware might make it easier to do this. Cool tech, but unless we're talking voice recognition (not very private)... I don't know see this replacing my cell phone... Yet.
+Ben Saberi He didn't mention any of those things. And it's going to be a challenge to solve. I'm thinking of some kind of handwriting recognition... one could "draw" the words in mid air and the system tracks and records the tip of the finger ...interprets the motion into writing and transfers that as text. Something like that Might replace a touchpad. At any rate, now that this is out, others will also be looking for the solution. I hope he and his team continue to work hard to make this happen.
+Kevin Gorman They'll for sure need to make the glasses smaller before people start using them in public lol. People will use their phones more until the technology grows and develops.... and it def looks like it has a while to go. The visuals didn't look great. Sure, the ability to do what the product does is groundbreaking, but it definitely needs refining.
I admire this video. I'm delighted with it. It's something incredible and cool. Decent development of such things makes a big leap for society The idea is worthy of dissemination. It will take much fewer things to produce and move
It would be wonderful if technology could connect us more closely with our surroundings rather than distract us from the real world. I think in the near future people will be able to expand the senses with a more natural machine. This technology is already being used by doctors, auto mechanics, stock traders and travelers. It remains to solve only one engineering problem - a compact power supply for glasses.
I always love how people try to put a huge spin of morality, human experience, etc . . . This is going to be used for something simple and entertaining . . . like everything else.
+Marcos Ribeiro But competition is absolutely necessary for adequate development of products. If Hololens has no competition they will stick with mediocre hardware and software and will keep selling their products at obscene prices.
I often use the iOS analogy for ease of use and familiarity. I guess the dislikes were because people did not agree. You don't have to buy any product to enjoy the tech, you just have to dream and think about what the world will be in the next few years! :)
6:40 hope this virtual desktop doesn't run on a Windows platform which can't even save desktop icons in a fixed position. Imagine how lame the Microsoft programmers are that they (after 20+ years) can't even figure out how to program desktop icons to stay where you put them. Fucking amateurs.
***** It doesn't matter if icons are aligned to grid or not, Windows will lose the placement of desktop icons at various random intervals, even for brand new computers. It's such a common problem that there are other software companies that have software that does one thing... saves the location of your icons so you can restore them. Microsoft is pure garbage, second only to Apple.
My first Windows was 95 and I only skipped ME and Vista and never had that problem. Also Microsoft is the compay which is developing the Hololense, so I'm pretty sure, that when this device is available Windows will be the best OS for it.
+Duh Enlightened One - Don't worry about the icons. At least the "start" button is back so that people have something to press if they want to stop the computer before it crashes.
This is pretty much what Accel World depicts with the neuro-linker, but in its pre-alpha design phase. Can't wait until we can have full VR with lifelike sensory-feedback.
I watch a lot of this stuff long ago. The rate of change is slow. I retract my support until processing power catches up. These guys have a long way to go....
+Goodguy001 Putting it on your face and beaming it through your skull constantly doesn't seem like a great idea, I imagine brain cancer rates will skyrocket. Personally I am now unable to handle either of those technologies at close proximity for any extended period of time. This looks like a stepping stone between reality and artificial reality to prepare the masses for plugging in to the matrix, anyone wearing one certainly might be a potential agent smith with the right malware loaded into the headset.
The hololens talk is absolutly scrypted. I didnt like it at all because i had the whole talk the feeling that they're f****** with me. I mean WHY did microsoft not build a gopro in the the hololens to show how it is. It would be super easy and not expensive but 100% less impressive. In both talks they made a phone call. In the hololens talk it was an actual 3d model of the person. In this talk is was more like a screen. But what the hololens guys not said is, that you need pretty well developed, expensive equipment to create a 3d image like that. I dont think that anybody will be able to effort that any time soon. On the other hand the phone-call in this talk seems totally realistic. This is actual technology. How it feels and how it looks. Also this guy seems really passioned about it. Great Talk!
Its just a logical step forward, an updated GUI. I bet kids will go crazy for this stuff. Imagine holographic fantasy worlds replacing our reality, or worse defining our reality. No need to furnish your house when you can conjure it up in your head. You can live in a box and believe you're living in a castle. Its beautiful and terrible at the same time.
Is the actual picture as shaky as that, or is that just because they're trying to capture it on a GoPro? I think I'd get a wicked headache and motion sickness from all that wobbling.
I think one of the biggest problems that plague humanity is that we are all trying to individually build up an artificial world around us where we can be in complete control and where we can be god. We pick what music we listen to in our cars. We control the temperature to the degree. And soon with augmented environments it will be easier than ever to escape from reality. I believe developing this technology is the future and that it's a terrible mistake. As we become more connected with technology, I believe we will find ourselves actually being more and more isolated in separate worlds.
Sumner Bob yeah, the problem is that we're already past this weak sauce with hololens and odg products. Nokia phones were revolutionary back in the day, but if I showed you one today you'd laugh at me.
It's a bit shaky, some way to smooth it out. The display at accurate spot for eyes to see is about the hardest part. I'd use the glasses just for projection with internet. Collision detection objects and everything are constructed inside a computer. Wears a glove to construct a hand mesh. All data transferring done with internet speed might be slow. Still improving
+Remy Lebeau It's actually like that will all virtual reality headsets currently on the market. Through a recording on TH-cam, it looks wobbly because of how it moves. Life is wobbly, but our minds and eyes compensate for that while we move ourselves so our everyday sight doesn't look wobbly. When wearing the headset, it doesn't look wobbly to the wearer.
Your head does move like that. Mount a GoPro on your head and watch the recorded footage. Your head (and some expensive cameras) account for that movement, making you feel as if your head ISN'T bobbing all around and constantly moving all the time. We're organic creatures; we can't stay absolutely still or have perfectly smooth movements unless we're a robot. When you walk, your entire body bobs up and down; that's just how people walk.
from my understanding, this product still using a screen on top of the lens and the lens is reflects its images to our eyes that's why it's bulky, low quality images and has a very wide vof right?
So AR is an interactive 3D screen (however, based on the prototypes, it's not fully 3D yet, since the holographic image are still constrained within a 2D screen/box for AR) with a 3D image put in a 3D world creating an illusion that it's actually there. Cool. Looks Legit. Consumer ready by 2030. Future.
+tarazed84 Look at 1:53. It's easy to see that he deliberately tries to smile. I'm sure he is excited about the technology that he and his team developed, but those smiles turned out to be just creepy and make people into thinking that he's not fully honest about what he is presenting.
tarazed84 You may be right. I certainly don't know the reason of those smiles. He may be dishonest because everything is about money nowadays and I guess they may want to sell those headsets at some point in the future, regardless of their limitations or flaws, about which he prefers not to talk about.
Pulkit Patel I think you mean downside or disadvantage, not perks. A perk is like getting your own parking space near the office or free lunch, something desirable. ;-)
I do agree with this guy, but I think magic leap and hololens are better (except hololenses field of veiw) ,however I like his indie sort of style. I want google to announce a headset this year at google I/O
that moment when u realize that u know the bar shown at 0:38 as a bar u have been once in your life about 10 years ago in Vienna Austria. Why do i recognize it, why is it in this Ted talk? That's Krugers American Bar in the 1st district of vienna.
My only criticism is that AugReality will not solve the degradation of human communication described in the "Dive Bar" story. The quality of modern conversation won't be dependent on the hardware or UI of one's mobile device, it will be dependent on the discipline of the individual. I do not believe that tech innovation will overcome the human tendency to follow "The Path of Least Resistance," even when this path leads away from genuine connection with one another.
so if someone lives an hour away and you want to meet him in say a bar or something instead of calling him up and your friends you'd rather go all the way to his house and get along with a few others people have an issue with their phones but there is also a benefit with staying connected
You had me until you showed the demo with the email client. The menus and windows in the demo are the very thing you said you wanted to remove from this new AR UI. By following the neural path of least resistance, would email not be better to represent as a stack of letters on my desk?
at 6:36 the proposed AR UI on his desk has a traditional windowed GUI with something called mMail open and the TED website open next to it completely defeating the purpose of everything he was making fun of. Worse yet, the Mail software's UI was white on black making it very difficult to read for most people.
you know what would have been awesome? He's giving this big speech about virtual reality to the crowd. he finishes to thunderous applause and then he removes the VR headset... and he's standing in his bathroom in his house alone. And he starts crying. Boom. Mindblown.
its not vr it ar very different !
actually. it's mixed reality, if you want to get technical.
virtual reality - all objects are virtual
mixed reality - mixture of real and virtual objects
augmented reality - heads up display around real objects
if you want to get technical mixed reality doesn't exist. virtual reality is when you put a headset on and you're on the moon augmented reality is when you put a digital overlay on the real world and digital objects interact with the real world. if you want to be technical that is
Actually, TheAngryCanary is correct with his definitions.
hiitsmescott augmented reality is not a heads-up display you're completely wrong. A heads up display is just a heads up display. augmented reality is when you have digital objects interacting with the real world mixed reality is a fake term it's just a marketing term that magic leap basically made up because they didn't want to call their technology augmented reality. magic leap is augmented reality meta 2 is augmented reality and hololens is augmented reality mixed reality is a fake term. augmented reality is not a heads-up display a heads-up display has nothing to do with any of that technology whatsoever

give this guy more time !!!!
and all the money in the world
5 years is too far
Hololens is already being shipped fully working to companies, and "regular" people later this year.
Meta 2 is just a copycat of Hololens.
well at least it's actually technology.
lol

All these AR and VR platforms need to agree on setting one programming language to create content before it becomes like the mac, pc, and mobile phones language dilemma.

The future of technology is discreet gestures done with the fingers and voice control, not awkward sweeping motions.
Edit: Imagine ASL but MUCH easier.
*****
The technology of the future will know more about our lives than ourselves, so it will tell us what to do, not the other way around.
Valken "Tell us what we SHOULD do"
Fixed that for ya.
He’s heading in the right direction. Make the human mind the “OS”, and allow customization on an individual level to that AR and VR systems.
"dive bar" Shows picture of a ballers bar
Humanity will take a step forward with the advent of such technologies in mass access. Already, such inventions will facilitate the work of many professions, as well as make learning much easier.
This work is extremely motivating

I see this idea keep coming up. Robots and other tech will help us do our work better, not actually do our work.

Just because they did a few investments wrong
This is brilliant!

So where is it now- 2018- do you have updated TED Talk or more information on what you have now?Yes, this is the future- no doubt about it.
I watch a lot of this stuff long ago. The rate of change is slow. I retract my support until processing power catches up. These guys have a long way to go....

Could there be a sort of hud similar to one in any fps

Resistance is futile.
Pranav Mistry already had this as a working idea a few years ago. He also gave a TED talk. Check it out. (6th sense computing)
So AR is an interactive 3D screen (however, based on the prototypes, it's not fully 3D yet, since the holographic image are still constrained within a 2D screen/box for AR) with a 3D image put in a 3D world creating an illusion that it's actually there. Cool. Looks Legit. Consumer ready by 2030. Future.
Nice video Meron. would like to connect with you to learn more on neuro science and augmented reality.
wow this is crazy, we're already in the future!
Just thought about this, amazed to see it being tested
NEED IT NOW!!!
How to get these devices live for public?
Simply amazing
is the Image calculated through an external computer or the glasses themselves
So... how long until Accel World?
he seems a bit dishonest
Yeah, he forces himself to smile way too much.
+Daniel Șuteu Ah he's probably just excited about this because he and the team put in a lot of work.
+tarazed84 Look at 1:53. It's easy to see that he deliberately tries to smile. I'm sure he is excited about the technology that he and his team developed, but those smiles turned out to be just creepy and make people into thinking that he's not fully honest about what he is presenting.
+Daniel Șuteu Yeah, maybe. Or maybe he's just a little nervous because he's not on stage often. Why would he be dishonest?
tarazed84 You may be right. I certainly don't know the reason of those smiles. He may be dishonest because everything is about money nowadays and I guess they may want to sell those headsets at some point in the future, regardless of their limitations or flaws, about which he prefers not to talk about.
Miss those days when people didn't have mobile phones at all :(
Miss those days when people didn't have newspapers.:(
+Errett “AfroL3g3nd” Bainum
Miss those days when people didn't have language :(
+Carl Jones Miss those days when people didn't mistake sarcasm for contributing to a conversation.
Downside of using the internet - trolls everywhere *sigh*
Pulkit Patel I think you mean downside or disadvantage, not perks. A perk is like getting your own parking space near the office or free lunch, something desirable. ;-)
Can you use AR to play a VR headset?
only 5 years? i cant wait
would be great for internal sight during meditation concentration exercises
I do agree with this guy, but I think magic leap and hololens are better (except hololenses field of veiw) ,however I like his indie sort of style. I want google to announce a headset this year at google I/O
He talks so much about extending the senses, but the only sense that is extended through that glass is vision.
(and maybe hearing)
+Lince Assassino it's just bullshit marketing language.
that moment when u realize that u know the bar shown at 0:38 as a bar u have been once in your life about 10 years ago in Vienna Austria. Why do i recognize it, why is it in this Ted talk? That's Krugers American Bar in the 1st district of vienna.
This technology is great. We are going to need much less stuff to produce and move around, a lot of it we will just augment.
+Ydonkov you can augment yourself at work in no time.
Wow! This man is a visionary
Did they copy-paste the presentation from the hololens? Because it was almost the same.
My only criticism is that AugReality will not solve the degradation of human communication described in the "Dive Bar" story.
The quality of modern conversation won't be dependent on the hardware or UI of one's mobile device, it will be dependent on the discipline of the individual.
I do not believe that tech innovation will overcome the human tendency to follow "The Path of Least Resistance," even when this path leads away from genuine connection with one another.
Accel World here we go!
Why the dislikes? Don't get it
how about leaving your stupid phone at home when you go out to socialize with other people!
+wdcsucks1 what if something happens or you want someone to join you
so if someone lives an hour away and you want to meet him in say a bar or something instead of calling him up and your friends you'd rather go all the way to his house and get along with a few others people have an issue with their phones but there is also a benefit with staying connected
Thats called a land line buddy
x JayAyeWhy what the land of people living with phones handy
That is very cool!
You had me until you showed the demo with the email client. The menus and windows in the demo are the very thing you said you wanted to remove from this new AR UI. By following the neural path of least resistance, would email not be better to represent as a stack of letters on my desk?
+David Hariri I think that was the point. He was showing you the clunky mess you won't have to deal with in the future.
at 6:36 the proposed AR UI on his desk has a traditional windowed GUI with something called mMail open and the TED website open next to it completely defeating the purpose of everything he was making fun of. Worse yet, the Mail software's UI was white on black making it very difficult to read for most people.
***** Then I agree with you. What we saw was awful! That's why I thought he was showing us what his device would get us away from.
not having to go to your computer or clumsily prop up your phone in the bathroom to wack off... ahhhhh the future
