Mind Bending Technology and Magic

in #magic7 years ago

Walking through the airport, you look up at the big screen to find your gate. But this is no ordinary public display. Rather than a list of arrivals and departures, you see just your flight information, large enough to view from a distance. Other travelers who look at the same screen, at the same time, see their flight information instead.

On the road, traffic signals are targeted individually to your car and other vehicles as they move — showing you a red light when you won’t make the intersection in time, and displaying a green light to another driver who can make it through safely.

At a stadium, the scoreboard displays stats for your favorite players. Fans nearby, each looking simultaneously at the same screen, instead see their favorites and other content customized to them.

These are examples of the long-term potential for “parallel reality” display technology to personalize the world, as envisioned by Misapplied Sciences Inc., a Redmond, Wash.-based startup founded by a small team of Microsoft and Walt Disney Imagineering veterans.images.jpg

Have you ever thought about how technology has made us, in some ways, numb to its remarkable potential? Think about it, when was the last time you were stopped in wonder by new innovations in technology?

These are the final words from the remarkable video we are sharing with you today; a performance unlike any other we have seen, and one that pushes the boundaries of technology, magic, and art.

After watching this video of a live production (meaning there was no post-production involved) of Box by Bot & Dolly, you will understand the completely transformative power technology and magic can have on how we perceive the world. Take a watch

In the future, everything you see on a public display will be targeted to you. It might sound implausible, but the company has already developed the underlying technology that will make these scenarios possible. It’s a new type of display, enabled by a “multi-view” pixel. Unlike traditional pixels, each of which emit one color of light in all directions, Misapplied Sciences says its pixel can send different colors of light in tens of thousands or even millions of directions.

Magic, in the traditional sense, or in a more modern interpretation, comes from the craft of the performer or the artist at work. Whether the hands of the magician are working with cards or computers, their true power lies in their ability to inspire wonder and awe, and perhaps question the boundaries of what we consider reality.

Maybe we all could use a little more magic in our lives to jumpstart our sense of possibility.

Stay beautiful & keep laughing!
It is rare that a tech demo surprise me. My first reaction was “what the hell??” when I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. But indeed their screens were projecting different images to different points in space. I even found a spot where I could cover one eye and see one image, then cover the other eye and see a different one.

For those who can’t see it in person yet, these multi-view displays are somewhat like the “tilt cards” or “motion cards” you’ve likely seen. Those use lenticular printing to show a different image depending upon the angle of view. This seemed similar in concept, but on a digital display and capable of showing far more distinct images to many different points in space.

The utility of these multi-view displays is going to be very interesting, though may take a while to take hold. A world in which a computer or digital display can show entirely different images to different people or different points in space really twists our perception of what we’re be shown.
The field of consciousness, intelligence is infinite but the technology is very limited. This is where we witness the limitation of science and technology. One can only wonder about the creation!

Scientists can become curious to begin with but deeper a scientist goes he is stuck in wonderment. Curiosity is the beginning of the science and wonder is the end. And wonder is the preface to spirituality. Where science ends, spirituality begins!

Just like you cannot measure love, joy, happiness, compassion using any technology, the only way to know a source of thought is to go to the source and this is possible only through meditation - which is dissolving the mind ( the individual consciousness ) into the universal consciousness.
