iPod3
Here's an interesting video of what could possibly be in store for people in the future. Probably not all that realistic or practical but it looks pretty interesting as to what may be possible in a virtual world, or movie in this case.

How about the iPod just stays the same?
I'm not so sure I want an iPod that can kill me either.

In other words, the interface has been done before... by Apple... years ago.
What was that modeled/rendered in?

I second that "Holy !@#$".
Pure talent.
[edit] God. That does it. I want to learn how to do 3D stuff. That is my inspiration. Meet me back here in 3 years and see what I can do.
custom shaders and renderer.
Can i pre-orderthe new ipod?
and can I get the optional bomb-pen that explodes 5 seconds after the third clik?
...Yes, master-chip(plastic cards are old school) experation date? thats 02/2024, and, credit limit, Im thinking, the national debt, and delivery destination, aw hell just beam it to MR. Bill Gates II, Redmond, Wa the system will do the rest.
thanks and have a good dav Mr sales robot.
(Nice subtle detail of putting in the HP plus in the beginning)

Wait, that bit in the hotel was rendered??!?!?
Fraid so
Imagine what things will be like in 5-20 years.
Entire movies might be re-created in CGI and made interactive so that the viewer is immersed. CG actors can recreate the performances of the originals and you can be standing there 5 feet away as the movie unfolds around you in perfect detail.
Not to mention interactive movies in which you are the actor. Sure, we aren't there yet as far as the interactivity (not beyond mere video games) but it'll happen.
Still waiting for more immersive display technology though. Screens, even goggles are not the way. Need direct stimulation of the optic nerve or some such to evolve. Screens are just a stepping stone to that.

Apple's browser that did this was actually pretty fun to use.. I remember the demo which came with a MacWorld CD... Fun fun for a 14 year old child... Those were the days!
There was a demo?!? Oh, man... head... about... to....... explo

It was downloadable by anyone. It wasn't that spectacular. Basically you open a page and all the hyperlinks within are represented in a mock spatial/fly-through environment.

Oh. <looks around> Ok then. I'll just go sit over there for a while.
Edit: Oh yeah, that thing. I found a screenshot on ye grand ole' internet and it jogged my memory. Fun stuff, but not functional enough to really be useful (else we'd be using it).

While good, I knew it the first second I saw it. There were a few tell-tale problems, namely they didn't round a few corners -- on the hanging lights in particular -- and the fire was a 2D surface with a dynamic texture. There are no perfect edges in nature.
What was more impressive was the scene at the end with the glasses. That was near perfect.
By the way, if you read up on these guys, it's a case study in the verification of my hypothesis that a design-centric education is a waste of time.

Either your reading comprehension is bad or being an architect just isn't what it used to be. What part of "masters degree in architecture" is not a design education?
