Haptics can be seen as touching/manipulating a virtual object with a real device.

I think, Reverse Haptics means touching/manipulating physical objects with a virtual device, like seen in the video. Because nobody is actually really working on such a technology there will be not many references found in literature (as long as it is not SF literature Wink)


Theres the Novint Falcon controller. It's a haptic controller for video games and 3D modeling. It lets you play with 3D models in 3D space and gives you some nice feedback and pressure too.

is this something?

The website for the "Reach The Future" foundation. It's pretty new and... well doesn't seem right, have a look and see if there's something here or I'm just sleep deprived.

Reach the future is the advertising campaign slogan and is on the holomove homepage source text.

http://www.rtffusa.org/reach/


Does look like something, but doubtfully, considering the contact information.

And about the reverse haptics hand; maybe it strangled Dr. Gough? ;D

A lot has happened since my last post which I can't talk about. Sorry to be so vague, but until I can figure out how to react and what to do next, vague is the new black. I don't know what to do and if I figure that out, if I can do it alone. Are my friends here even my friends?


Poor kid... it sucks suddenly feeling like you can't trust anyone around you...


and the dark clouds of conspiracy and suspicion descend...

thats the login screen for the webhosting server i think

mosso.com

Personally, i don't think its IG, why would an org that is beneficiary to disadvantaged young ppl be related to a high tech company with something to hide? I'm thinking coincidence, though i will admit the site does look suspicious, with the newness and non-working store and all...

i could be wrong though (usually a high possibility probability)

 		The reach logo on the "our mission" section under about is a hand reaching for an orange circle ...?


Also, think what a holographic limb could do for a disabled person. Just as an aside.

 		The 1 in 75 chance to win a rousch mustang seems a bit odd... abnormally high chances

Has anyone called the 888 #? And if this site turns out to NOT be IG, I say we all call/email the site telling them how very lamely-ARGish their site is and they should get a new web dev. Razz

 		Something that occurred to me is that the Nobelium video is shot with several cameras, maybe 5. So there could be other footage out there. It seems somewhat funny that you'd edit together video of a disastrous attempt, usually this sort of footage is a one camera thing.

I'd assume they'd have been filming these other attempts too.

I've been checking youtube for clips of 317 no luck so far.

I looked at that fake contest site, and decided that it was OOG (of course I could be wrong). It appears to be a mock-up for the design firm. I was confused because so much of it seems wrong -- but I think that's just because the content is all fake. Just my opinion.

(FWIW, I also spent a few hours learning about Mitchell Madison Group, Eilza's former employer. Their website looks totally fake, too. And they went out of business in 2001, before she started working there. Then I learned that the former partners reconstituted the firm in 2003, and the website appears to be REAL. Oh well, another rabbit trail run. Live and learn.)

LOL

Maybe we can get ahold of one of the 5 camera operators or the video editor.

When I meet my untimely demise I want the production value of the video footage to be top notch and edited in FinalCut (use Premiere and I will rise from the grave and kill you).

 		Random ponderings.

I'm curious as to when this video was made, myself. Was it back in the LAL or was it for Holomove? The latter seems more likely, given the content. I wonder if this is the actual demise of Dr Gough? For that matter, did AJ survive? Could AJ be Random Knowledge, reaching out to warn people?

Interesting thoughts, when there's not a lot to be visibly solved.
