Well that's interesting. I haven't seen any Google product host its videos on anything other than YouTube in a very long time. It's strange they chose to host it outside YouTube in this instance.
This + a video of people playing 'Job Simulator' have me wanting to cancel my Oculus Rift preorder and get a Vive instead.
We'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…

I can't even imagine what we'll have by the time my kids are in their 20s
My mind is exploding with the possibilities this presents even for existing film and animation production pipelines. Just one example: A layout artist being able to directly sketch into being the spaces and sets they envision, then being able to storyboard and block character animations by sketching with traditional animation techniques, but directly in the camera space. Similar kinds of programs could be a revelatio…

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…
