  1. If it is centimeter accurate then it could be my design problem
  2. Well, in order for image recognition to work you need a camera and you have to map the terrain like the Vuforia application. I've never really compared the two, but mine would need a more accurate positioning system to boot(no need for camera ). Right, Pokemon-Go is a good example for augmented reality. I've also read the possibility of a low altitude satellite for augmented reality applications. Well a few metres apart would be a problem. I'm eliminating the possibility of having a computer mounted head set that would create a 3D structure as I go. What I'm more interested is having a 3D structure generated on the spot, all that the headset do is project the image onto the screen, all you need is a glove, and all the collision detection and interactions are done through the mobile network on the back end computer. That is why positioning is important for this. Another possibility for such an idea is shared vision. Once you turn off your computer headset you can't really track the objects anymore, while having a back end computer helps other people to see your design at the same spot P.S. While at it here is an interesting clip about augmented reality, the guy calls it hyper reality. Your idea will probably be realized sooner. Vuforia is a good application, in a sense the hyper reality video can probably be realized right at this point
  3. I found out that the signal is detected by a phone mast. Well, here is a Network-based tracking technique provided by Wikipedia. I'm not sure if it is reliable enough to be applied for augmented reality. Well, out of most of the positioning hardware out there it doesn't seem like we can be picky about it. If you're interested you can look into indoor positioning system.
  4. Hmm, you got a radio tower sending wireless signal to a cell phone, the cell phone performs some action and sends it back to the tower, but the cell phone signal is weak, how does the signal gets from the cell phone to the tower D:? Answer found.
  5. Hey buddy, I looked into it and cell phone uses radio tower but not satellite. GPS uses satellite so the accuracy might not be high, I'm having the cell phone acting as both a receiver and transmitter so I can track my location using wireless internet. Right well, you can connect laptop to a cell phone and uses its internet, but why can't you log on to the cell phone network with a laptop? Just curious, since these days we can log on internet anywhere with a cell phone anyway. Hmm, I'm thinking of having an augmented reality built based on this location tracking feature. I mean the hardest part of having augmented reality is having it show at the right place. Between the wall is no good, showing through the wall is no good. My original thought is some type of terrain tracking. But then I think tracking the objects based on its location would have a much easier time. For instance, let's say I'm in a room and I want to have an augmented reality tv hangs on the wall, I would set to have that tv located at the (x, y, z) position in the house and when my device (cell phone or glasses) go near it I will have it show up on the screen. By doing this I eliminated the need to mount a camera in front of the glasses at all time
  6. So first I have a question in mind. Does the mobile company uses satellite or radio tower to transfer the wireless internet that we receive on our cell phone? Why can't they make it support laptop internet? And let's say I want to track my cell phone position at real time that would give me x and y coordinate and height, how accurate would it be? Can it be on the centimeter accuracy scale?
  7. I have some experience with Unity back a few years ago. The physics is cool where you can program with c# or javascript. I find the hardest part is actually building the models with something like Cinema 4D P.S. Never seems to have enough modelers
  8. I've had an idea where I want to have a series of nested if and else statements for decision making. The idea is that if I clone myself I will have two thinking units and two people working on the same task. Though the idea didn't go through because to construct the validity of a thought takes analysis and there really isn't an efficient way for computer to process it. Then I thought of a bot, a bot of myself that could possibly replace me at work that would automatically answer Skype and create programs. My boss probably wouldn't be happy to hear that but, imagine having an extra working unit of yourself. You can potentially earning money without having to be there, all with just nested if and else statements. Like if I receive a message from Skype, reply something. Now then I thought about applying the same concept to the company structure to create a decision tree, where it will help you make the best decision at any time, well, company wise. Such a decision tree could be built based on experience or collaborate efforts. And what's even better, you can merge the decision trees together when you find fit. Now I understand the decision tree might be a little big, but it is simply like a flow chart, and you run through the chart programmatically like a bot. I got this decision from an online game and Crunchyroll post where there are too many bots in game and believe me I didn't use one. Anyway, if I can create such a bot, it could potentially replace myself or double the working force. Now having a bot write program might be a bit hard to complete, but good thing that's what bots are made for, repetitive tasks. P.S. Well, only of the same unit can the trees be merged
  9. Can you accelerate or decelerate a current?
  10. I'll wait another day or two lol, thanks for the heads up
  11. I want to know when Pokemon Go is coming to Asia and what do people think about this game?
  12. My idea is that a computer could simulate voltage and electromagnetic field in a computer(3D graphics maybe), therefore it is possible to simulate an AI software wise, either through Strange's functional explanation or my voltage guesses, both seems plausible
  13. How is it possible for something to run on water have consciousness, you'll have to convince me on this one Strange P.S. Btw, consciousness can be affected by electromagnetic radiation
  14. I would like to add to this again that consciousness requires a certain type of electrical property. Imagine a slime creature, whose brain runs with water but not ions(again I'm not being sarcastic). Does it have consciousness? I don't think so. Same goes for a computer, a computer can run with light, or water, both of which is capable of running a computer, but does not have consciousness. It just so happens that a computer is running with electricity, the thing that contains an electrical charge same as the ions in our mind. But if our mind is ran with water or light, would we have consciousness? I believe that voltage plays a role in generating consciousness, but it might also adds in the functionality of binary inputs from the electrical signal of neurons where on and off represents the two states. Imagine a conch shell with air in it that creates a resonance effect. I believe our brain's structure also plays an important role as someone pointed out, that with voltage plays a resonance effect in generating a signal resembling that of life, any analogue people here, the low pass filter, high pass filter, or band pass filters. It could also be states, but state changes.
  15. Hmm it has to be functional heh, not everyone's brains are connected together, so it has to be functional. P.S. No it's a voltage output with different timing from the functional inputs
  16. Well then, how would you distinguish the function of the brain from that of a computer? I'll take structural difference for an answer, I'll leave it at this
  17. Well, for the term "property" of the function, you should break it down in terms of current, voltage, or hardware. That's what I'm asking myself when I think of consciousness, am I the output current, the output voltage, or hardware(hardware can't think).
  18. Well, how else can you describe consciousness?
  19. My bad dude, no hard feelings, I'm attempting to verify that consciousness is an analogue circuit, but whether it is voltage or water dipole I am still unsure of. If you are looking into this feel free to let me know
  20. Right, it is the biochemical interactions we are looking into where we are tracing the sodium and potassium ions flow within the brain. Supposedly you heard a piece of music. How do you know which part of your brain is activated in listening to this piece of music? It could be the right brain, the left brain, or both. The only way to verify this is by tracing the ions flow within the neuron so we know which sensory neurons are being activated
  21. Right my focus is more on digital creation. Technically if you create a digital system it never dies. Only if the power stops running and the software terminates. So who is to say you have the right to end its life?
  22. I'm saying you simulate a current on the screen and you can light up a physical light bulb P.S. Right well, if you do simulate real consciousness in a computer let me know, I'll be counting on you P.S. I think it's possible, can you light up a light bulb with the current simulated in a computer?
  23. Yes, a computer can do complicated things including generating consciousness using a software, hardware by itself, no matter how many transistors you throw at it, cannot make a computer conscious. You can have consciousness by just not thinking about anything. Yes the state changes, but that doesn't mean it's binary, it's analogue Yes, analogue circuit have infinite states, mistake on my part Yes you can probably simulate consciousness using a software or simulate analogue circuits, but how do you simulate current and voltage, as electrons running through transistors to generate voltage? These are mechanisms that is still not yet proven in physics. So we're going about how to simulate consciousness here in a software sense. If you can simulate voltage or electromagnetic field, sure let me know, I'll take your ideas
