"One of the assumptions built into these calls is that if the tech community would just nerd harder, a solution could be somehow magically found that preserved privacy and security while letting the ‘good guys’ have access. With all respect to the valuable work that law enforcement does to protect society, it’s equally as valid to as them to just police harder." https://www.mnot.net/blog/2024/04/29/power#futurology#art#technology#cyberpunk#innovation#change#futuretech#futurism
Thrilled to finally be able to share this! 😎 #VisionDevCamp is coming next year!! Sometime after the Apple Vision Pro launch. As many of you know I made the first iPhone game with Joe Hewitt at the very first iPhoneDevCamp. Can't wait to see what new kinds of apps and games you'll launch for spatial computing on the Apple Vision Pro! Sign up here then join their Discord https://visiondevcamp.org/
The hubs and I were having a discussion about Apple continually releasing new iPhones without any actual innovation. That lead us to a few questions, that I, of course, said, Well, I'll ask Mastodon about it! So here goes:
Have we reached as far with Phone Technology, as it exists as a rectangle piece of hardware in your pocket, as we can?
Is the future in software?
What about a better version of Google Glass?
Are we heading towards implants?
Please don't mention anything with a see through screen, literally no one wants other people to see what they are doing on their phone! LOL
In a #ScienceFiction story I once came up with, people wore contact lenses that acted like projectors/computer screens/VR glasses. They would wear nail polish or rings (for folks who preferred more easily removable tech) that would sense finger movements, so the user could type or manipulate the virtual world (as seen in their contact lenses). Sound and music were from earrings and jewelry around the neck (some people used bone-conduction sound in necklaces).
The contact lenses would be worn all the time, so you didn't have to take them on and off like VR goggles, and also allowed the user to see the real world-- they could be prescription, if the user needed contacts to see 20/20 anyway.
Admittedly, the ideas are #SciFi. But SciFi has often predicted future reality. I can see people wanting to use tech this way.
With AI rapid advancements, humanoid robots could one day take over those chores you hate doing around the house. Find out the timeframe for such machines and learn more about the complexities of introducing them to everyday tasks.
