[OPLINLIST] Fwd: Augmented Reality (Thursday February 5 at 3:30 pm EST)

Tue Jan 27 10:26:07 EST 2015

At the suggestion of one of the library directors I work with, several
years ago I read a fun book by Ernest Cline called Ready Play One. It
offers a glimpse into our potential future set in the year 2044 (although
I'd maybe push that back a couple of decades). It's a fun book that, while
I hope it doesn't completely accurately project our future, it does have
several elements that I think just might become inevitable. One of the
major elements in the book is a heavy use (almost entire reliance upon) of
virtual reality with whole-body immersion in a completely realistic and
accessible way...no matrix-style direct links to the brain or any such
(although that's becoming more and more believable too!) Children are no
longer going to a physical school...they simple attend virtually and
essentially have the same experience within their virtual classrooms and
with real teachers' avatars. Most of the world's population is immersed
because, frankly, it's a much nicer place to be than in the real world.

But the most interesting thing about the book is that ever since I read it,
I've been reminded of it over and over again with the increasing flow of
new and very viable products and technologies coming to market in the area
of augmented and virtual reality:  augmented reality video games on
handheld game devices, Oculus VR, Microsoft's new HoloLens, motion
detection ala XBox et al., gloves that give sensation/pressure feedback,
etc.

It's cool and scary, amazingly beneficial and detrimental to society all at
the same time! I'd love to fast forward 100 years to take a peek. Too bad
I'll be gone by then.   ...or will I....?   [?]
