The Ledger
Every statement that passed quotation and attribution checks. Mix any filter with any other: certainty 1/5, debate potential 5/5, or both at once.
why aren't all 9 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Matthew Turk defines AR by human experience, not hardware
“My definition of AR is, is not really a technical definition. It's an experiential definition, which is integrating digital information into real world experiences in real time. Ok, it's not fundamentally about technology. It's fundamentally about people and t…”
Matthew Turk: Remote AR collaboration requires independent viewpoints
“If you're just stuck with my viewpoint, seeing through my eyes, that's not really the same as if you were standing here with me and we were looking at something together. So the ability to have a independent viewpoint and the ability to independently explore t…”
Matthew Turk: AR telecollaboration outperforms Skype for physical tasks
“So the two of these two people can collaborate quite successfully on this physical task in a way that's hard to do, again, with just telephone or Skype or something like that.”
Matthew Turk: AR achieves X-ray vision, invisibility, and teleportation
“So all of those things are done these days. X-ray vision, seeing the invisible, changing size, teleportation, done in the area of augmented reality.”
Matthew Turk: The spray paint model for AR annotations is trash
“But this is what the spray paint model gives us. It's complete trash.”
Matthew Turk: Augmented reality can give users virtual superpowers
“So what I ended up doing eventually is creating technologies, ah, for superpowers. So, you know, maybe I don't have super strength, but, you know, I can give people superpowers through certain technologies.”
Matthew Turk: Dentistry is a strong practical application for AR
“And so I think I can add to my list dentistry as being, you know, a really good application of AR.”
Matthew Turk: Real-time mobile 3D models are inherently noisy
“Now, it's not going to be some, you know, beautiful, pristine, nice three-D model. It's kind of messy, it's kind of noisy and we have to deal with what we're given there.”
Matthew Turk: AR annotations require inferring intent from 2D gestures
“So we have to figure out a way to make two D annotations on a screen be rendered correctly from different perspectives? Because we have two different people, you know, looking at things from different perspectives. So, what did the user intend is the real ques…”
