Props To Apple...LIDAR Sensors Coming In The iPhone12.

iPad Pro has Lidar Camera. Augmented reality is coming, and it looks like Apple has the upper hand. It is rare that I compliment Apple innovation; but, the new iPhone, with LIDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) sensor will enable the new iPhones to create 3D imaging of what it sees, thus enabling all sorts of advances in Augmented Reality. I played with the early Tango sensors in an Android device several years ago; but, updated Smartphones matched the capability in regular Smartphones, and the technology didn't advance. True LIDAR sensors will open up a whole new world in Smartphones, and I can't wait.

My Bose Smartglasses May Be Why I Unfriended You.

Smartglasses with a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone, and voice access to Google Assistant can be a great way to decide with whom I want to associate myself. So, if I ghost you, it may be because my glasses told me some unsettling information about you. But, they might also prevent me from learning about the complex ways in which you might be interesting to know. Be careful what you text, tweet, post or otherwise interact with social media. I will be watching.

The Future Is In Human Interface Devices.

Someday, probably after the FutureLawyer isn't here anymore, a lawyer will walk into a courtoom wearing a wrist device and a pair of SmartGlasses that connect her to the Internet and everything else. With a flick of the wrist, she will access her files, do legal research, enter a timeslip, and check out her email and messages. The heads up display in her Smartglasses will allow her to concentrate on the argument. Sometime, in the future farther away, the wrist device will be located in the Smartglasses themselves. I think I was wrong to assume that humans and machines would be physically connected via implants. Yes, some implants will be used for medical purposes, as they are now; but, I think that future computing devices will be wearables that can be removed or worn at the user's choice. Brave new world. 

How To Watch The SuperBowl On Oculus Quest In VR.

Watch SuperBowl On Oculus Quest VR. I am certainly not expecting the Bucs to be in the SuperBowl. I will not be disappointed if they don't make it. If the Packers win on Sunday, I will still be happy for both teams, since I have been a Packers fan almost as long as I have been a Bucs fan. But, in either case, it will be cool to watch the big game in Virtual Reality with the Oculus Quest. I will also test out the DreamFarm glasses, which put a Virtual 200 inch screen in front of the user. Decisions, decisions. How will you watch the game?

You Don't Have To Look Geeky To Be Cool.

Bose Frames Bluetooth Sunglasses Tempo. Okay, I get that some of you don't like the RayBan Wayfarer Bose Bluetooth glasses that I have worn for the past year. They are big and bold. But, so is the FutureLawyer. However, Bose has realized that Smartglasses don't have to bold. They can be sleek and cool. Hence, the new Tempo version, shown here on a model. I have ordered a pair, with my prescription, for transition lenses, so that I can wear them all the time. I will model them for you when received. But, suffice it to say, that the FutureLawyer is going to be stylin'.

Carry A Big Screen TV Everywhere You Go.

My Augmented Reality Smart Glasses were delivered late yesterday. The new Dream Glass 4K looks like a pair of glasses on steroids. It creates a Head Mounted Display that looks like a 200 inch TV screen hanging in the air in front of you. It has the ability to download apps via WiFi, and will connect with Bluetooth to speakers, etc. You are still connected to the world; but, with the glasses on, you can carry your BigScreen TV with you. I am anxious to watch sports with it, and it can go 5 hours on a charge of its battery, which is located in the remote. The remote is tethered to the glasses; but, isn't any larger than a medium sized smartphone. I am already thinking of courtoom uses for the glasses, which would be perfect for viewing scenes and videos and other demonstrative evidence. But, for now, I intend to enjoy games and video in complete privacy, and still stay in touch with the real world. 

Holidays Are For Gadgets And Fun

Google brings the Mandalorian to AR in its new App. Some of you have asked how I was able to put the Mandalorian in my office and den. Well, a new AR app that works on newer 5G phones is the answer. This cool app promises to get better as new abilities are added; but, for now, once set up, the Mandalorian will appear in any reality you happen to be, and you can share the images. There are a lot of valid reasons to celebrate holidays; but, since I was a kid, and I still am, I have enjoyed celebrating the joy of living with gadgets, toys, and, recently computers and tech. So, while I am waiting on my new Augmented Reality headset, I will be fooling around with my Smartphone, my Quest 2 Virtual Reality headset, and my computers. You can find your own fun stuff, can't you? If you are reading this after I die, know that, while I lived, I had fun doing it, and, if I wasn't having fun, I wasn't doing it. Enjoy the day. Be thankful.

Living With The Mandalorian

The Mandalorian followed me home, and is now standing in my den. 

Augmented Reality And The Mandalorian.

The Mandalorian just appeared in the office and said this is a holiday week and since nothing is getting done I should go home.
