Hello, I am Robert G. Male. Welcome to TechStop™. Here you will find links that I think are of interest. Furthermore these are links that I want to keep track of because they have given me either ideas or some other form of inspiration for my writing. Links are listed in order lowest to highest both in the date they are given and the order in which they appear (meaning: read them from the bottom up for a certain day's list). Some of these sites may require you to sign up for free. Without further ado, the links...

• Battlefield recreations would be a great inclusion. They could be watched in augmented reality at any time. Live shows could still be special events, though some might happen less often because of this. Once only battles could be staged in spots that would be disruptive to do too often, or done more virtually using data from the location to aid in green screen recreations so that these old battles could take place in modern settings. Just such a project is detailed at The Great Civil War Augmented Reality Project

• This article has sat in the queue for a while now, don't let the header fool you this is not QR codes or other augmented reality that requires a computer or camera. This is a video display built into the magazine. This is the future. The end of the article is correct, cost and power are prohibitive in this case, but how long will that remain the case? Particularly power? As far as advertising goes, having it come on when it is looked at, whenever, with no extra effort or gadgetry, or no way to turn it off aside from abandoning viewing the object on which the screen is embedded or attached is a very powerful thing. What is most exciting about this is not ads in magazines, but that this will fuel something more satisfying and sci-fi than the current tablet computers. I can't help but think of the sheet of paper with video and controls from that one episode of "Journeyman".

• This kind of research is interesting for sci-fi work as fiction and reality come ever closer. Sometimes though, reality comes up with items that are more interesting than their fiction counterparts. It is one thing to know that a particular portion of armour is damaged and use that as a protective/strategic measure, but to also take that damage (its kinetic energy) and gain benefit from it is significant. Also note that these sensors can also determine the calibre of bullet, which also has it's strategic importance. Exciting research.
