  • Future Apple Pencil could be used to trace 3D objects for easy AR generation

    If they made this and it was accurate to say 0.2mm I’d pay $600 for it. Ive drooled over 3D digitising arms by Faro for years but never been able to come close to justifying the huge outlay. 

    That would be a a dream come true but probably a stretch. There are very expensive and precise components in existing digitisers that achieve greater accuracy than this but at low volumes and currently targeted and industries where the market will bear $50000.

    It will be a game changer if the Apple Pencil and the new LiDAR modules are accurate in iPhones and iPads. If they can, an iPad with Apple Pencil will suddenly become a relatively cheap option for people doing 3D CAD modelling and digitisation.

  • Apple open-sources HomeKit Accessory Development Kit to spur adoption, grow new standard

    Good move Apple. Get it done already though. 

    I get it, don’t compromise on the security, but for the love of God, get on with it. I've got a very limited understanding of what’s involved in making HomeKit products but it’s almost feeling like FireWire.... wilting on the vine. 

    I’ve been waiting to see products and HomeKit mature for the Australian market before I jump in. I always figured they will get it sorted eventually but the thought of HomeKit becoming a FireWire like thing of the past before it gets an enough critical mass has entered my head.

    If what they’ve done with the this open source thing gets small players involved, that’s great. The way it is at the moment, only the big players can afford to develop anything and that’s not good news for small markets like ours.

  • Final 'big four' Australian bank folds, announces Apple Pay rollout by mid-2020

    The CEO’s of these companies are supposed to have vision, see and understand things us minions can’t. 

    We don’t love you banks, it’s a transactional arrangement. We care much more about our communication devices than our banks. 

    Good on ya Westpac, you’re really on the pulse of what people want.

    ...are you tho? Calendar says no, not as quickly as possible at all. 
    Oh I’m sure the are, now that they’ve notice their customers leaving in droves. 

    We had the same nonsense from Barclays, who didn’t support Apple Pay because they believed their customers would be satisfied with a sticker in the back of their phone.

    Eat *^%# Westpac! I left you 4 months ago. Better mortgage rates elsewhere and now I finally can use ApplePay.... and I love it! 

    You greedy, clueless, cartel wankers! Goodbye
