Odds and Ends: Realities Virtual and Actual

Today we have two improbable virtual realities, each more mind-blowing than the last.

The first is Walden:The Videogame (probably not the actual title). This virtual simulation of Henry Thoreau’s book of the same name, wherein he lived in the woods to escape from too-busy society, has stirred up a predictably snarky/cranky reaction.

But I would play it. I also read books and go out of doors from time to time. They are not mutually exclusive, snark notwithstanding.

Next up: 2Pac, the virtual personality, and others to come. The age of the virtual person may be upon us. Let me be the first to point out that The Onion saw this coming a mile away.

Roger Ebert, whose specially-developed artificial voice software is discussed in the SmartPlanet article, proposes an interesting variant on the Turing test – to create a synthesized voice capable of telling funny jokes.

Great SF short that makes the case for SF shorts

This story, published in COSMOS Magazine, confirms the eminently quotable William Gibson in his contention that the short story is science fiction’s ideal form.

The story – fast-paced, high-concept, and gratifying – is “800 ms” by David Taub. I’ll be keeping an eye out for more of Taub’s work from now on.

(On a related note, COSMOS is where I’ll be interning this summer! It is predominantly a science magazine that also publishes quality SF, glaven.)

The Wright Stuff

SmartPlanet reports the jaw-dropping news that an inventor successfully designed, built, and used a pair of wings for flight.

From the article:

While flapping his arms generated about 5 percent of the necessary power to achieve lift, the other 95 percent came from motors that provided 2,000 Watts of continuous power. The entire system is a wireless (haptic) concept, meaning that with the addition of video game controllers and smartphone technology, he was able to use his arms to control the contraption and navigate a flight that lasted about 60 seconds.

This is truly amazing.

Following science and tech news constantly affirms what William Gibson has said about the future: it’s here – it just isn’t widely available yet.
