This currency is useless as I am not on an adventure
by Bagels on January 28, 2010 at 4:57 amWhat always bothered me in games is how small non-hero type people came into possession of objects that only the hero could normally obtain, and instead of letting him have it to, say, help save your [insert type of civilization] from the forces of evil, they’d send you on petty couriering jobs. Yet nothing is too petty for Bagels.
Maybe I worked on this. Maybe I didn’t. Maybe it’s currently installed in BU10ne’s HUD. Don’t worry about it, okay? An interesting display of technology here, utilizing both on-screen tracking as well as constant remeasuring techniques to physically find objects in 3D space. Augmented Reality is not a new concept, by any means, but something that could be used for practical, or, perhaps, more recreational virtual-reality purposes, such as shown at 1:20 into this video. Okay, MAYBE I take a little credit for it. Only because I dreamt about something like this a few years ago, and rival scientists potentially have access to dream stealing devices.
