After waiting 20 minutes on hold, and a brief conversation about my ‘TFL issues’, the oyster card assistant lady says, “No, I think you’re getting confused. You have a student discount that expires on 14th October and then you have an annual zones 1-3 pass that expires on the 2nd October”. Sorry, little miss oyster card assistant lady, all I see in front of me is ONE oyster card with ONE expiry date. A glorious example of a mismatch between mental models of 2 users.
Stupid man with whistle has been blowing the damn thing, constantly, for 30minutes. He’s trying to attract cabs at Madison Square Garden as the queue grows larger. But seriously, waiting for a taxi is annoying enough, having someone blow a fricking whistle in your ear aswell? GTFO.
The possibilities are endless.
What happens when you mix New Harmonica Blues & Beatboxing? This is what.
This is the first real good use of augmented reality that I’ve seen so far. There are alot of AR concepts and ideas, but this appears to work a treat. I did tweet an AR game recently, which is terrible, but interesting never-the-less (http://www.rubberduckzilla.com/). You move a duck around a virtual space whilst trying not to let the water drops hit you. What’s that about?!
This is actually pretty simple, but really effective. I especially like the backspace idea- a light touch deletes letters, heavy touch deletes words.
This is I in the Virtual Reality Cave at UCL, being briefed on gesturally coordinating flying robots!
