Leap Motion - the next Big Thing .

Leap Motion – the next Big Thing

Andre Willers

14 Jun 2013

 

Synopsis :

A major new technology in human-computer interfaces .

 

Discussion :

1.What is it ?

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21LtA5-wiwU

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leap_Motion

“The Leap Motion controller is a small USB peripheral device which is designed to be placed on a physical desktop, facing upward. Using two cameras and three infrared LEDs, the device observes a roughly hemispherical area, to a distance of about 1 meter (3 feet).^[8] It is designed to track fingers (or similar items such as a pen) which cross into the observed area, to a spatial precision of about 0.01 mm.^[9]An advertisement video provides a visual demonstration.^[10]

The smaller observation area and higher resolution of the device differentiates the product from the Kinect, which is more suitable for whole-body tracking in a space the size of a living room.^[11] In a demonstration to CNET, The Leap was shown to perform tasks such as navigating a website, using pinch-to-zoom gestures on maps, high-precision drawing, and manipulating complex 3D data visualizations.^[11] ”

The Leap Motion controller will ship in the week of July 22, 2013

2.What does this mean ?

2.1Read my lips .

Facial gestures , including lip reading can easily be apped into a smartphone .

 

2.2Sign language can directly interface with the computer .

 

2.3Analysis of cellular behaviour . Eg sperm , white-blood corpuscles , amorphous bacteria , etc . Other apps can amplify the image to Leap motion size . Computers can take it from there .

2.4 Expression recognition :

Who cares what the perps look like . It is their intention that matters . And that is mirrored in their expression at subliminal levels . Leap motion can pick this up .

 

2.5 Diseases :

Many diseases , especially mental ones , shows up in hand and facial expressions . These can be noted and, analysed . Giving a fast first diagnosis .

 

2.6 SPORTS !

2.6.1 Golf . A Leap Motion device coupled to a laptop/tablet or smartphone can really analyse your game to millimetres , and give a running commentary .

2.6.2 Tennis , baseball , basketball can all be done .

2.6.3 Chess ?

2.6.4 Poker . It will be banned . You cannot bluff with this system in operation .

 

A new face to facebook .

 

Kabuki and buster Keaton will become popular .

 

Expressionlessly yours

Puns insects make .

Puns.

Andre Willers

12 Jun 2013

Synopsis:

It is impossible to construct a language that has no puns . Puns play a major role in evolution and interstellar communication .

 

Discussion :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pun

1.The long proof : Godel said it all . If you did construct such a language , you can Godelize the statements . This means you can generate statements which differ by very small amounts .

Puns then become possible .

2.The short proof : there are only a finite number of symbols and an infinite number of meanings . Duplicates (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homonym ) must arise .

3.What does this mean ?

3.1 Evolution of hierarchies :

Sets of similar puns develop into hierarchies . This includes speciation . Note that this is not driven by any external factors .

http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2013/06/joys-of-asocial-insect.html

3.2 Those who don’t get it , die off .

http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2013/06/joys-of-asocial-insect.html

 

4.Interstellar Aliens .

If they are social , they must have a mechanism for resolving paradoxes . Puns . The only commonality .

This will then be the only general interstellar art form that can be appreciated by all .

 

5.Insect puns :

Bees have a pheromone and dancing language . All is not sweetness and honey in the hive (latest research) . Factions form .

Randomness introduced by radio ,TV , data electromagnetic waves introduce greater than normal punning in the dances .

Which leads to different hierarchies (factions) forming , degrading the functionality and immune system of the hive .

Hives die off .

 

The cure : a double cone of aluminium foil over the hive , with bee entrances for each cone staggered .

 

Conversely , experimental verification can easily be obtained by sticking a 3 dim lattice of wires through the hive and sending varying currents through them .

Monitor closely .

 

6.The same should hold for ants or any insect .

 

If you can’t tell a joke to an ant , what use are you ?

 

Interstellarly yours

Hate and Love

Hate and Love

Synopsis :

Forgiveness – Bitterness is the real axis .

Bitterness drives the terrorism .

 

Discussion :

1.Look at the impact of the images .

Forgiveness :

https://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&authuser=0&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1241&bih=584&q=forgiveness&oq=forgiveness&gs_l=img.12..0l10.5916.10173.0.13077.11.11.0.0.0.0.505.4167.1j0j2j3j3j2.11.0.crnk_timediscountb..0.0.0..1.1.16.img.LM5X--qP3Kg

2.Bitterness . Resentment .

https://www.google.co.za/search?hl=en&authuser=0&site=imghp&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1241&bih=584&q=bitterness&oq=bitterness&gs_l=img.12..0l10.2395.10924.0.14695.14.11.3.0.0.0.507.2899.2j2j3j2j1j1.11.0.crnk_timediscountb..0.0.0..1.1.16.img.lxVlYNtdZ7s

3. The Forgiveness images’ impact are far more powerful than the Bitterness impact .

4.The Love-Hate axis is pale in comparison .

5. Humans get really heated up about Forgiveness and Bitterness .

6.Why ?

Simple present Physics . The Past cannot be changed . Getting resentful or bitter about something that cannot be changed is insane .

But the Bitter Brigade are always  “ If only”  .

 

7.Forgiveness  .

That is forward looking .

The only things you can change is your future behaviour .

 

8. Forget , forgive , change .

  9. This has happened  many times in the past .

For the dark side .

Else join Miskatonic U . 

12. Try the Miskatonic Extra-sweet liquor .

Kills any bitterness (banned by divorce lawayers)

Only Nyarlothothep likes it .  Running around like that .

CO2 Deprivation .

CO2 Deprivation .

Andre Willers

7 Jun 2013

 

Synopsis:

Mammals evolved at 1000 ppm CO2 . Present 400 ppm CO2 causes many respiratory and muscle problems .

 

What gives ?

Short and sweet .

1.See http://breathingproblems.wordpress.com/article/urge-to-cough-reflex-is-controlled-by-dv4y2tahxi5j-25/

Coughing and mucous . Colds .  Flu ?

2.Tetany .

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetany

Low CO2 causes calcium channel problems . Ref ACE blockers .

 

3.Smoking .

The sensors are on the alveoli , not in the blood stream . Smoking immediately relieves tetany symptoms .

 

4.Breathing exercises won’t help . The gas mixture has to be about 1000 ppm CO2 .

 

5. Brown paper bag .

Works .

 

6. Metered CO2 using SCUBA gear .
Just make sure the CO2 is pure .

7. Blood pressure effect .

The CO2 level affects the acidity of the blood , hence the viscosity , hence the Blood Pressure .

8. A plain paper bag works well , but where did you get them goo-goo eyes from ?

 

Tetanically yours ,

Andre .

“Omami blues”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqooJ9MpnXs

Synopsis :

Infants have an Omami taste receptor . It identifies milk as Friend or Foe (IFF) . At weaning they mostly get apoptosed , but a ghost of a memory remains .

 

Discussion :

1.IFF components :

In excretions by fatty glands around the nipple.

 

2.The receptors :

In the mouth cavity of babies . An extra flavour : bitter, sweet ,sour ,salty , umami and omami .

 

3.Omami triggers production of oxytocin  . By definition . This lowers Immune system response .

 

4.Weaning :

The omami receptor sites get mostly apoptised as the stimulus is withdrawn . But a ghost of a memory remains . Sucking .

 

5.Super Cigarettes .

Nicotine alone lowers immune barriers . http://cvi.asm.org/content/11/3/563.full

There is an synergistic effect with omami fats from the nipple that IFF the contents of the mouthful . Cream would be a substitute .

 

6. Omami Soup .

Recipe :

1.       Lactose free milk

2.       A teensie pinch of tobacco .

3.       Cream .

Smoothie and Slurp .

This will stimulate regeneration of omami receptors on the tongue from stem cells .

Ocytocin production initially will jump . A Joy high .  Smokers will be very vulnerable .

7.Medical applications are obvious .

Chemo slipped into a Omami soup will not trigger bad reactions .

 

8. This is a purely theoretical approach .

 

9.Still , be careful with Omami  soups .

  Regards

Andre

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ones_Who_Walk_Away_from_Omelas

 

Synopsis :

All social species have those that walk away . They are vital to the survival of the species .

 

Discussion :

1.Evolutionary argument :

See http://andreswhy.blogspot.com/2005/08/sexes-of-man.html .

The same argument applies .

Walkaway genes are generated all the time . The worst ones gets leached out of the gene-pool by the walkaways , benefitting the species .

But non-zero percentage discovers new things that percolates back to the hive .

Something like spam .

 

2.Freed from the crushing load of the future , greater risks are taken in exploring . Called Risk Capital .

3.Past baggage is ditched .  

 

4.Insects:

Entomologists should look (a meta-analysis with p<5 .="" 1="" away="" find="" insects="" many="" o:p="" st="" that="" to="" walk="">

Ever wonder what that lonely ant in the middle of nowhere is doing there ?

Should be a higher percentage for Butterflies .

5.  The more literate insects excrete dark pellets of the past and the future in their flight to the Flame of the Singularity .

Paradoxical bombs of insight . The feedback mechanism for the hive .

What is discarded becomes guidelines for the future .

The rejected stone becomes the cornerstone .

Synopsis :

The Face of Fear . At subliminal levels . In repetition  , it replaces lesser fears .

Discussion :

The teeth could be a bit further apart .

But , still , a good idea of what  gives your amygdala the heebie-jeevies .

The amygdala has a limited memory , of a push-down nature .

Repeated exposure (just looking at the image) is enough  to reduce PTSD .

Well , our ancestors had enough close calls with these raptors to encode an amygdala “instinct” .

Scares the shit out of them .

Also pushes down the fear system in the amygdala . Also called desensitizitation .

But this is general . All PTSD’s get pushed down into oblivion if you keep on looking at this image .

It will help if you move your head from side-to-side more than 5X a  second . Prepared to be scared .

Initially , you will be scared . Blood pressure will elevate . Flight or fight mechanisms activate .

Repetition leads to lessening of effects as bio-memory is pushed down another notch in the amygdala .

Keep on for at least 10 minutes .

You will notice real tension relaxation . But keep on . At least 10 minutes is needed .

Basal hypertension and teeth-grinding should decrease dramatically .

Long-term potentionating is about 10 minutes .

Who cares ? Just look at the little bastard and feel your fears evaporate .

And this is not even a hyper-image .
