I really hope Google puts aside their differences with Microsoft and tries to get a demo of this running on Hololens. I think it would be SO much cooler to be able to walk around someone's cool 3D art piece using AR rather than VR.

#32Can you walk around, walk away and come back? How much movement is allowed before experience breaks down? This is the major difference between VR devices like Occulus/Cardboard vs Hololens.

#33The last scene... VR graphic novels could be pretty amazing.

#34Earlier quoted context omitted.
Maybe in the future so much content will be created by so many (eg digital photographs, youtube), that the notion of preservation will lose a lot (but not all) of its former value, with the focus shifting on the next thing rather than enjoying the last thing for 400 years. Humanity as we understand it today, isn't going to exist in hundreds of years, we've already taken over control of our own evolution, and there's…
I have this idea in my head that one of the niche communities in fifty years will be people who trawl through discarded mass storage devices: cobbling together hardware fixes, undeleting files, and scanning them to see whether they contain anything interesting, like cached pages of lost websites, photos containing the faces of celebrities but from decades before they were famous, troves of old corporate emails, and s…
Like historians? I also think they will exist in fifty years.

#35I studied architecture. I can't wait to get my hands on this, it feels very much like the killer app for that niche. What separates the students from the men and women who have developed their "vision" is the ability to go back and forth between how you imagine a space will feel to walk through and the lines on the paper. This shortcuts that completely. With some snap to line and plane functions, mirroring, copy-past…
It still feels better to mix and apply real paint to a physical surface with an actual brush held in one's hand. More time spent lashed to an electronic apparatus feels less like relaxation these days.

#36We've got a Vive Pre so I've had the pleasure of being able to use this a bit. It's as fun and amazing as it looks in the promo video there. I'm not an artist so I can hardly put the features to any real use, but I'm always amazed to see what people are capable of creating. I think this is truly a new form of artistic expression - and I think it has the potential to become very popular in the future. I'm imagining ha…
Reminds me of Gladia's "Field colorings" in Isaac Asimov's book Naked Sun
Re: TiltBrush by Google
#37Not exactly the same thing but I've actually been sitting on an idea for a mobile app that was inspired by Google: Essentially, you'd be able to look through your phone camera and draw on the world on the screen. Then other people could see your geolocated creations and maybe modify them. (I also considered autodecay for dense areas) I never did figure out the physics of how the projection would work or if the accura…
Is it similar to what hololens is trying to achieve here: [1] [1] https://youtu.be/aThCr0PsyuA?t=1m7s
Thanks for the link! I think their approach of including the real-world is very exciting and has just as much potential as completely virtual applications.
Edit: Just realized you were asking me a question. Well nothing quite as advanced. The user would look through their camera on the phone screen and draw directly on the screen and also be able to see other people's overlays, kinda like snapchat but in 3D and realtime. If I find the implementation I saw on HN I l link it.
Re: TiltBrush by Google
#38This + a video of people playing 'Job Simulator' have me wanting to cancel my Oculus Rift preorder and get a Vive instead.
Having played both, I would strongly recommend you do. When I took off the vive my first thought was "no way I'm getting an oculus".

I think you missed their point, they were talking about doing work as an architect designing buildings, not relaxation
Re: TiltBrush by Google
#40If the method of viewing these isn't completely proprietary, someone should be setting up a site to distribute free and paid experiences. First or early to market would pay off like it did for early dominant Minecraft forums and the like.
I can see this becoming a thing. As a commenter here notes, people could create graphic novels in 3D space.
