MDN, make this happen, like, now please!!
That was cool as heck. I would like one now.
Yes.
Probably..
U wouldn’t believe me..
But I’ve dreamed this video..
Thank-you MDN. I saw this a few days ago, and have been looking for the link since then.
I don’t get it or see it. i know it’s right in front of me.
The floating file selection was cool, but what’s with the underlines in the names, ala Windows?
The thingy in front of the visor looks like it goes around your finger and thumb, allowing you to point and grab. Is that the idea?
It is very interesting that they brought back the “XSpace” interface for web browsing! I have always thought that was a great interface for browsing through a complex web site. However, very, very few web sites ever implemented the necessary tags to support it. Even I stopped trying to use it back in 1999. Nice to see some other people were impressed by it too.
All I saw from the link was a digital remake excerpted from the “Shining” and some obscure reference to iPod cubed. Not much to go on for me. At the risk of confounding some and waxing sentimental for others, “Where’s the beef?”.
Ug, spatial browsing. Yuck. Give my a heirarchy any day. Otherwise it looks like a cool concept.
For dumber and meat: This clever work envisions what you would see when you put on your iPod3 3-D glasses and begin browsing in a virtual world using an Xspace-like interface (hence the finger control point and click apparatus) to search for Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining. The big problem I see is the cost of having legal copies of all the movies shown loaded into this envisionary iPod3! Even at today’s prices, looks to me like it would break the bank.
Jabberwocky – maybe they are streamed wirelessly from an Apple subscription service so that you don’t have to buy all of them or store all of them locally. Or, perhaps, the wireless connection is only a license server and you do store them locally (holographic memory, I assume).
Nice. Very nice.
So frigg’n cool.
I want one!
cool! was that a telephone number located on the upper right block just before the cinema screen zoomed in? hmmm…
I would like to see this trailer, but it gets half way through and stops. I have a high speed connection, 640Megs of ram and a G4 running 466 MHz. So much for the trailer. Nice graphics though.
