Last week Sony Glasses were announced. They seem pretty basic to me in the visual section, but more stylish than Epson Moverio and other alternatives.
Features like colour or screen resolution are not critical to me, better times will come... I think developer API and manufacturer support and continuity are much more important as developer.
Which of the current AR Glasses do you consider is more suitable to start learning?
Thanks and regards.
I'm doing a little research. I'm part of a modest initiative in Andalucia (Spain) to organize some workshops in my city during the next months and I would like to suggest some of them related not only to technology (software and hardware) but also relating to DIY, science, art, crafting, startups, businesses... so what were the most interesting workshops you participated in?... and why were those workshops so interesting?
Our intention is to attract people of all ages to the sake of knowledge and the creative and entrepreneurial spirit.
Thank you in advance!
I'm launching http://thinkklip.com : 3D printing + co-ownership + DIY groups
I'm really excited with 3D printing and the DIY movement but 3D printers aren't cheap and I don't need a 3D printer 100% the time, I just need to access a good 3D printer one day a week!. I think Shapeways and other providers are expensive too for a regular use and I can't find where to rent 3D printers.
On the other hand it is difficult for me to find other "Makers" near me, concretely I would like to find people interested in toy prototyping . So I started Thinkklip, a side project I think it could became something interesting or even big.
What is Thinkklip?: let's solve two problems at once:
1. best 3D printers are expensive,
2. many Makers want to join DIY groups
...and let’s see what happens...
I'd appreciate any feedback, comments, thoughts:
Thanks!
I'm a 42 year old computer engineer, with a lovely family, a nice mortgage, a stable but boring job,...a common guy... but I've been presented a unique opportunity: I could take a paid break for some months, one thousand available hours I've calculated, so I've decided to do something really impactful for my professional career: I'm going to try to learn in deep a valuable technical skill I could use for a further job, as a freelancer or running a new exciting startup.
I'm really fascinated with everything about Internet, the startups world, new technologies and I would like to re-think my professional future. But I feel like the ugliest model in a beauty contest, a computer engineer with +15 years of experience whose career has been gradually and inevitably oriented towards managing and planning competences instead of technical skills. I have some Java, SAP and PHP background, but nothing with an in deep knowledge. I'm fully convinced that the world is for doers!, people able to make things instead of tie wearing planners.
In my spare time I've been doing some experiments, even I have two little websites running: a subscription based form builder and a little social network for creatives, both using LAMP but I don't fancy these technologies, I think there are already a lot of Java / Javascript / PHP / Python ... developers out there! and I think that amaizing new technologies help to build amaizing new things.
In my list there are things like:
- Learn a functional language like Erlang, Haskell, Scala... for the highly-concurrent future world
- Learn a technology stack targeting towards Big Data: Scala+Hadoop i.e.
- Learn Node.js
...
What should you do in my case? Are you in a similar situation?
Thank you in advance to this amazing community.
