Experience is the New Reality – The Future of Communication





Experience is the new reality! This video isn't your everyday typical video. It take a look into how communication has changed in the past and how it could change in the future. You will see elements of different kinds of immersive technologies coming into play as communication advances. Selling of memory and experiences become an everyday thing. Live a thousand lifetimes by purchasing experiences. We could even one day save the lives and experiences of our great thinkers, famous leaders, or the horrors of war experience and be able to learn from them without having the need to make mistakes ourselves. My favorite part of the video is where they say "Google Buys Microsoft" Ha! The future will be interesting, I wonder how close it'll turn out like this video. Take a look!



The world's first ever Immersive Technology Summit will be held at the Los Angeles Center Studios (LACS) on October 21st, 2010.

ImmersiveTech Explains – Immersive Technology





Imagine a world where we are free from physical constraints, where we can shape and bend our environment to our will like in a dream. Imagine a world where hardware or software is not the bottle neck to creation, but the only bottle neck is our own imagination and creativity. This is ultimately the vision of ImmersiveTech we exist to promote the development and adoption of immersive technology so that we can expand on our human potential.



Victor Hugo once said "nothing is as powerful as an idea whose time has come." At ImmersiveTech, we believe that the time has come for physical and digital convergence. We believe that with help from our supporters we can create a central, unbiased community to advance the human experience through immersive technology.

Honda – Develops Brain-Machine Interface





Honda, ATR and Shimadzu jointly develop Brain-Computer interface technology enabling control of a robot by human thought alone. Think of all the practical applications! Rather than having to program robots to do what you need them to do you can just think it. Granted ideally we'd like to see robots with AI, but in the meanwhile robots controlled by your mind would be quite helpful. Take a look as Honda demostrates ASIMO reading this man's mind!

Smart Studio – Brain Ball BCI Game!





Brainball is Smart studio's (The Interactive Institute Sweden) first completely hybrid research project game. The players move a ball on a table by the sole use of their brainwaves. Encouraging competition through relaxation, the game objective is to score a goal on the opponent's side with the least possible action. The players' brainwaves control a ball on a table, and the more relaxed scores a goal over the opponent.



They are using Emotiv's headset here to interpret the brainwaves but I am curious as to how the results is translated into actual actions. Perhaps some kind of magnetized system underneath the table? Anyone care to make a venture?

Hitachi – “Minority Report” like interface (Gesture Control)





Hitachi has developed a display plaform that has "Minority Report" like interface without the use of a gesture glove. Gesture control is the future, as a video has surfaced showing a Hitachi system that lets you interact with it. It's currently still a working prototype, but this technology could make it to digital signages, or even in the medical field, both of which would be useful applications. According to an engineer, if Hitachi decided to include such technology into a consumer TV, it'll have to be in the middle of 2011 at earliest.



Finally we're starting to see ways of interaction with public consoles and displays systems in the public without the worry of getting our hands dirty or vice versa in the process!
