Dale's Glasses
LTK:
Unlike Google Glass, you're not meant to take a Hololens with you wherever you go. It's more of a thing that you put to use in a static environment, like a living room or an office.
Apparently this thing has a big "holy shit it's the future" factor similar to the Oculus Rift, so I'm interested to see where it goes, whereas I'm aggressively indifferent towards Google Glass.
And like any good Microsoft project, we can call it silly names. Honolulens! Hallelulens! Wolololens!
Omega Entity:
Ah, alright. So it's a super suped-up version of the 3DS's AR functionality. Nifty.
Oilman:
One thing I was never clear about with Dale's glasses, was what they actually produced. Dale could "see" holo-May, but (apparently) no-one else could. Momo was aware of Fay, and obviously had a visual image of some kind. May could visualise and interact with the same image.
That gave me the impression that holo-May actually appeared as a projection within Dale's glasses, and Momo "saw" May via the same Wifi connection, or possibly was simply aware of May's presence-in-context. Station appears to be able to project a visible hologram within the Space Station, but that's a very different situation - I'd applied the Red Dwarf explanation, that projecting a hologram took so much run-time and power that it was done very sparingly.
That implies holo-May existed, insofar as that can be said, as a sort of self-aware CGI model on the Robot Jail server?
LTK:
Yeah, you've got it. May's just an image projected onto Dale's glasses, so she can't interact with anything. The similarities with the Hololens are actually shockingly numerous, with a little bit of software development you could literally get May to walk around in your very house.
Wait a minute, why isn't this in CLIKC?
Oilman:
Sooooooo....... holo-May interacts with Dale's immediate environment. She sits on a stool, sits in his car, walks around the room without doing anything wierd like walking straight through a sofa, or standing 6" above the floor. Presumably Dale's glasses send enough data back to enable her to do that?
