Augmented Reality

What I know about the topic: I know that AR is  a way to see the world electronically and can be used in a variety of ways and in a variety of stuff like smartphones and Head mounts.

Questions:
How does it work?
About when will it be released to the general public?
What are some prototypes?
Which companies are developing it?

Things I learned:
Google sent out a prototype for 1500 dollars to developers
Most of them are head ware(the future ones) like the google glasses
It will be released in early 2014 or late 2013 with a price of 200 to 600 dollars.\
Uses motion sensors, lasers and infrared
Will have 3g and 4g technology
You are able to see the world but with everything you need like the terminator glasses.

It connects to my life in many ways because I am from a generation in which technology is very important. I never thought the glasses would be in such a near future, it was something only seen in movies like terminator. To live I need technology and this will be a great advancement because it will finally unite with the real world in a really useful interactive way that will make things much easier for everyone. We live from luxuries and this will be an affordable one that will beat many and leave many people addicted like me to my blackberry or computer.

U.Penn is a university in Philadelphia, which has Wharton in it. It is the business part of it and it is really good because it is an Ivy League and it has many things I like.

NYU is a really good university in New York that offers 183 majors and has many students that have achieveed great things.

I have a 3.6 GPA average.

What I have learned today has affected me very much, because now I know that it is better to enter a normal university first and then a great one to be the star

Google Part 4

For this I only had about 35 minutes because of a mass so I finally installed eclipse and looked at the tutorials. It is a lot more complicated than I thought. Now I am looking at this video to start making the blocks and code academy is finally paying of: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sI_TnFUBzrc&feature=related. And I need another program, which I already downloaded: http://www.editrocket.com/download_mac.html. I already started doing the blocks and will finish at home and I will try to get them into the game to make the presentation.

Now its November 13th and it is another google day because last class about 60% of the class time was taken by a mass.

Goals:

Check what I am missing and get it.
Create the block in java form.
Create the block visually.
Insert it into minecraft.
Use it.

I was wondering what I was missing and of course it was something important. It was the MCP or minecraft codder pack to modify and create mods (short for modifications) like creating a block.
Here is the link for download: http://www.mediafire.com/?rz8dnqj1bxrz85q

I am about to die. First I had to modify the mod loader text file in Edit Rocket then I had to configure the MCP file and make it adjustable for Mod Maker basic. Then, download many files and check how to see the Java JPK version in my mac because it is different than on other different operating systems. Checked thousands of videos and then had to search how to find the environmental variables on a mac because of course it is different from a PC. And until now I am starting to create the mod, but by luck the hard part has passed and this takes a lot less time. So I am going to finish it at home and make the presentation
