Not necessarily, I find it completely interesting. But I have to admit, I had once joined a life demo show of augmented virtual reality (where you project computer-generated information through a semi- transparent video-headset that melts with the real world pictures) - surgeons can receive additional information during operations for example, or technicians will find automatic guides how a growing number of complex parts have to be assembled, for example for trains or airplanes. Attach some Mosey-codes to the airplane parts, and workers can do this using their Android phone already :-) The phone will tell them where to include which part.
Going off topic, but I want to say that judges may have different backgrounds, so it is ok to simplify the introduction, but don't throw away all these very interesting ideas :-) I'd be interested in your 3 D game as well - sounds very cool - to the extent that I'd like to participate if there's the option. When will video headset units for Android phones be available? :-) Peli On Apr 13, 11:04 am, tomgibara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hmmm... > > Thanks, that's probably the most useful feedback I've received so far, > it tells me that I need to do a serious rewrite of my readme file. > > Tom. > > On Apr 13, 12:35 am, YA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > > Sorry Tom.
