mann pt 2
boy, this is fun - post after post.
interesting, mann is suggesting a pair of usable digital glasses, which could donm 'anything' - prescription glasses all the way to ar, with facial recognition in between.
he tested his eyetaps at gambling places and got away with it. 'if youre electric eyeglasses are working well, you should be able yo wear them without being discrimanted against.'
thats just rad.
the video that is playing not is work he doing with a phd. he can use the glasses to block out billboards and augment them with other stuff.
mann has been been involved with 'possibility of copyright infringement.' cyborg law is actually being taught as a class. and so now he wants to wear the camera for safety, as opposed to partial. streaming the content has 'saved his life' he thinks.
the talk just finished. holy crap it was good.
ill post the video in a few minutes.
questions:
wow, he claims he must wear this - he has 'wrecked' part of his brain and needs the system to function properly. and thats how he gets around legal issues with his lawyer.
someone just asked about the 1:1 map question. he kinda glossed over the answer, just that he has done some work and its an issue.
his nice eyetap glasses cost him about 500,000 to build. so while he just kinda slammed 'lipstick cameras mounted to a pair of eyeglasses', the odds of me getting one is more than slim.
he explains the mediated world and how his eyetap is removing the advertising, etc.
