Geek Master was telling me about how good the google servers and data storage are, that you can never erase that stuff, they even made the system where even they can't erase it if they want too, maybe it just grows so complex or human become so dependent, we can never shut it down, erase, etcSo this film Zardoz was about a society that wanted to die, to forget, shut down, erase, but the crystal had been engineered that it could never erase/die, so they just went on and one in a sad existence, no ALAN WATTS surprise button.So is GOOGLE servers the beginning of the crystal in Zardoz? Wizard of OZ, the ai is created by man, then recreates man so that it can die and pass on and lose its immortality, maybe this cycle of back and forth, between immortal and mortal lifespans has been going on a long time. Maybe if the universe is one big simulation, this progression between mortal v immortal societies (as perceived) is the best feedback loop gyration to get the information up to the higher

The developers at YEI Technology are having an AMA today from 12pm to 4pm EST :) http://www.reddit.com/r/Games/comments/21ii86/hi_reddit_we_are_the_developers_of_the_priovr/

Soo, I've been at this for awhile now, and would like a pair of second eyes on this. I'll list the subject matters first, then the theoretical situation afterwards (which may not be so theoretical in the next 15 years.. ie: 2030 and the different Mars missions:Quantum Entanglement (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement)Binary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code)Digital Communications (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_transmission)Ion Propulsion (http://dawn.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/ion_prop.asp)Ion Potential Maximum Speeds (http://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/12346/ion-drive-propulsion-top-speed) Theory of Relativity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theory_of_relativity)Time Dilation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_dilation)Theoretical "Warp" Drive (http://goo.gl/X9FBXw)Ok, read the above, then come back to this post.Well then, I presume if you were not familiar with the subjects, you are now. Let's talk first about propulsion systems. The current designs and fuel

Hi,A new InstaSynch channel about the Oculus Rift, but also virtual reality and augmented reality will open on Saturday March 22nd at 3pm GMT.The goal is to allow Oculus Rift enthusiasts to watch videos together and comment via a chat.Here is the link of the room: (frozen until Saturday)http://instasynch.com/rooms/EnterTheRiftA small trailer I made to explain the principle of InstaSynch: If you like the idea, come watch videos with us on Saturday :)

rOSEDALE OF second life working on this, imagine the control this will give governments, companies - Harrison Bergeron style. Hell I want it myself to do my own bidofeedback! http://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/20cnwy/virtual_reality_system_lets_you_explore_your_own/http://www.cbsnews.com/news/virtual-reality-system-lets-you-explore-your-own-brain/YES! In the future think that movie gattaca, when it is easy for employers/governments to see our brains, how our neurons are firing real time, ed bernays mind control propaganda taken to a whole new level! Einstien had more glial cells than usual. They can see what jokes in a 2 and a half men show stimulate the neurons the best, imagine how good the comedy writers will get with this real time live feedback? We will never want to stop watching :)Reverand Kyle, I am willing to hook all this up to me, watch your VR late night comedy show, and then lets see how much my neurons get fired compared to watching a craig kilborn tv show! LOL

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/278203173/altergaze-mobile-virtual-reality-for-your-smartpho?ref=categoryI suppose mimicry is the sincerest form of flattery, and there are only so many ways to skin the VR cat, but I imagine this has to raise some eyebrows at Oculus central....

"NRMA Insurance has combined Oculus Rift virtual reality with a physical hydraulics system for a simulation that's both fun and frightening."http://www.techworld.com.au/slideshow/540645/oculus_rift_shows_virtual_reality_car_crashes/This would have been a fun project to work on.

So far I've been browsing at the Coolpix P520 and Nikon COOLPIX L620 My budget is about $250 but I am willing to stretch out to $350 if the camera is at the right price! I plan on getting a much better camera when I can afford it. But right now I'm just trying to get the equipment to help me become a beginner YouTuber. I also Plan on not only using this camera for just unboxing videos. But I plan on using it forward's my Photography hobby. (I need the camera to be not pixelated/distorted) when zoomed in.

http://greenbaumpatent.wordpress.com/2014/01/23/a-virtual-reality-patent-landscape-analysis/The graph above shows the companies that have acquired virtual reality patents (purchased or otherwise became the assignees of the patents) between 1993 and 2012. Sellers of patent assets include Sensable Technologies, Nortel, Virtual Technologies, and Mixed Reality Systems. At least one of the acquiring companies is a well-known Non-Practicing Entity (sometimes known as a Patent Assertion Entity or “patent troll”).In conclusion, the IP landscape of the virtual reality space tells an interesting story. Despite the fact that there has never been a truly successful commercial virtual reality platform, there are a surprising amount of VR patents and transactions involving those patents. This phenomenon will create both opportunities and liabilities for start ups and other companies looking to enter the industry.

Didn't Sony have a patent for obstacle avoidance too? Which batman movie had this where he could see all the jokers minions? Damn I wish I had marilu henners memory.

I'm seriously just done with multiplayer games on PC. Call of Duty ghosts and Battlefield 4 are brand new games! (and CoD ghosts is VAC secure!) How ever, I had seriously 3 wall hackers in a single game. One was on my team, and there were 2 on the other team "That made it bloody obvious he was hacking. He shot me through the walls and acted like it was nothing. I accused him of hacking then he left the game (even though he was going 24 - 0).Am I the only one getting sick of PC multiplayer games?Trust me once the oculus rift can fully work with consoles (without having to have multiple PCs hooked into them) I'm just seriously sticking with consoles for multiplayer games, and PC for single player. Anyone else agree?

On live with cloud lift is here. And goog, steam , nintendo , amazon etc may decide to partner w these guys to get their software on more hardware! Will young Jedi iribe be able to beat back the sith lords once again?(PS for those that don't know iribe and gaikai took on Perlman and onlive a few years back)

I'm putting this in off-topic, since I don't want to get in anybodies way, and I know its mostly due to my own supidity and lack of presence. I've been avoiding Rift news for a few months while I saved up to get one. I may not be a developer, but I'm a gamer who likes to test things to try to help out that way. I ordered mine and expected to see it in a month or two, but from what I've seen in the forums, shipping is no longer a big issue? I even saw "Shipping takes 3-5 business days" on the order screen. So my question is, has the current state of shipping improved or the sales died down enough that shipping only takes a few weeks?UK order, by the way.Thanks for taking the time to read!-KaruEDITSince a lot of us have shared the experience of waiting for our Rifts to arrive, how about sharing our first impressions as well?"HAWKEYE481" wrote:I reckon us lot should start another thread after they've all been delivered for our first time rift experience's, what do you think? :?:Once your
