You seamlessly ...Well written essay- Gaga Gracious. You seamlessly tie in real-world Transhumanist technology that will affect our every-day lives (and human relationships). I'd not heard of some of the other devices you mentioned till now (Durovis Drive for instance).<br /><br />Thank you for mentioning Memories with Maya. I wanted to offer a perspective on one bit:<br />>>In the novel mentioned above, MAYA, the author refers to Dirrogates, or Mesh-clad digital surrogates inhabiting a virtual space.<br /><br />Actually, Dirrogates [portmanteau of Digital+Surrogate] evolve during the course of the novel.<br />in the first part they are simply digital avatars - with markerless motion capture (mo-cap) driving these avatars in real-time. No big deal, as kinect does this today...<br />Then, dirrogates enter our world - These are the 3D meshes, created in real-time by a depth camera (again think Kinect 2) that tracks skeletal movement, and skins the generated 3D mesh, with the live video feed coming in from the color component of the depth camera - so in essence a living digital mesh of a person.<br />How is this Dirrogate "seen" in the real-world? By a real person wearing a visor (or Wizer as in the book).<br /><br />There is low-level science (borrowing a term from programming languages) in the story that shows how humans and dirrogates can interact in the real-world. <br />While we wait for true see-through visors to appear on the market- and Vuzix is getting close-- there is always the option of Digital see-through visors to realize Dirrogate technology today.<br /><br />Now, the interesting part is when we get into Digital resurrection...and suddenly, Dirrogates don't have to be surrogates of live people.<br />Dirrogate Mayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09108197405856293507noreply@blogger.com
