Piece of Fabulous Friday

We’re starting a new segment here at Geekulous. Every friday I will be sharing my favorite piece of fabulous from the week. These posts will be brief and can include a number of different interesting things. My favorite piece of fabulous could be an event, a news story, a gadget, basically anything that I found to be interesting (that I think you would too) and exciting from the week. You never know what interesting piece of fabulous you’ll see on Fabulous Friday! So enjoy this post and look forward to seeing cool new posts filled with fabulousness every Friday!

This week’s Piece of Fabulous is Nokia’s vision of mixed reality. I’ve posted about augmented reality and, as the possibility of a tablet grows ever closer, augmented reality software is quickly taking over as my new favorite that I’m looking forward to seeing more of.  While the Nokia video isn’t technically augmented reality (the overlayed images aren’t really “augmenting” reality) it is still pretty cool.

Nokia made a short concept video depicting how we may see augmented reality technology used in the future. The thought of taking augmented reality out of the smartphones and expanding it to other devices is very exciting. While I love the concept, it’s just that right now, a concept – so there are some kinks that obviously need to be worked out (like when using eye gaze navigation, what happens when you move your eyes to look at something else beyond the glasses?) and physical devices actually produced but nonetheless it is a great video. Enjoy.
