1. This article is about the developing technology of the 3D cursor. Since its inception, the computer cursor has been "confined" to a 2 dimensional space on the screen. With this new development, Tomas Dorta speculates its uses in the construction of, and interaction within, virtual spaces, and interacting with virtual objects in a physical way.
2. One of the biggest questions that many in the class will attempt to answer with this is how the technology could be used for gaming, and right away, the answers are fairly simple: virtual reality. With something like the Oculus Rift, alongside an omni-directional treadmill like the Virtuix Omni, you become that much closer to interacting with video games in physical ways than ever before.
1. This article is discussing the new technology of using a 3D cursor, rather than the traditional arrow cursor that you see on normal computers today. This technology allows you to use your smart device as a controlling plane to manipulate objects in a 3D world. They are saying that this technology could be a big step forward in the way we use virtual reality software.
2. At this point in time I'm perfectly fine with the traditional cursor that every computer possesses nowadays. Maybe if it becomes practical for our every day use, I'll be interested, but there's no real gain from using this technology as far as I'm aware.
1. Scientists at the university of Montreal Canada have "created a way to turn smartphones, tablets or anything with an interactive surface, into a translucent so-called "controlling plane" to select and manipulate objects in a 3D world." So basically its what the title says, a 3D cursor.
2. In my opinion I think this will be useful for presentations and nothing more, sure using a cursor on a screen seems more mundane than a 3D map of your documents. But its so much easier to understand. Don't fix what isn't broken.
1) This article is about the development of a 3D cursor. Something like this is essential for the development of virtual environments. Tomas Dorta said that 2D cursors are confined to the screen "like a jail". He and his team have successfully managed to create a 3D cursor to be used in virtual environments.
2) This technology is still taking its first steps, so there are few available practical applications. This technology, however, has the potential to expand the world of entertainment as well as assist with many professional fields like architecture. Overall, I can't wait for technology like this to become available to the general public and start being used as a base for video games and possibly movies.
1. This is about creating a 3D "cursor" for your phone. Pretty much they're trying to create a virtual 3D mouse for your computer controlled by your phone. 2. I think this is really cool and I would probably use it a lot in Blender when trying to make a new model. It would make 3D molding cooler and easier, but it would take a while to get use to it for modelling.
1.The article is about cursors being able to navigate and work in a 3D plane and being precise while doing it. 2. I see the 3D cursor being useful in 3D modeling, Designing of houses and building, simulations, and gaming. It will help modeling by being able to move your mouse along with the model and seeing it in a developed form.
1. The article talks about a 3d cursor, which a user can control by the use of a controlling plane, like a tablet or phone. It relies on virtual reality, but the user may still copy and paste, similar to a traditional mouse. Instead of a two-dimensional space, the entire desktop is three-dimensional. Windows will never need to be hidden, because there is a third dimension for windows to expand into.
2. I believe that the 3d cursor is definitely an interesting and extremely cool piece of technology, but there are also drawbacks. It would be more awkward for everyday use, especially for creating documents, but it would be amazing for any sort of work that relies on portraying three dimensions, especially for architects and engineers.
1.) The article surrounds the idea of creating a 3D cursor usable on a 3D surface, and being extremely precise to know where to put the mouse next. 2.) The cursor will rule out all of the mouses in the world. Every handheld mouse will be useless in terms of editing (not gaming).
The article discusses a brand new technology, 3d cursors. Rather than having a 2d screen you could turn your device into a holographic projector. You will be able to access and move things around 2.I think it is a great idea but it is still in progress.From what i have gathered the idea is definitely still on the drawing board and has much left to be done but i think it will be a great step in the right direction for technology
This article is about a tablet-based 3D cursor that can help with viewing objects in three dimensions. I have seen many of these types of controllers, some mounted on your finger, some built into a pen, and others that scan your hands into the air. But, this is the first time that I have seen it built into a touch screen. This seems like the least intuitive method. You would be applying two 2D planes to a 3 dimensional area. I think it would be simpler to pick up a system where 3 Dimensional objects are used to represent 3 dimensional digital space with accelerometer based technologies such as the razer hydra. There are also IR based cursors. But, in my experience, they are buggy, unreliable, and too finicky to use. 3D cursors are cool, and they have been around for a while. But, in my experience, they are a gimmick. They are not precise enough for 3D modeling, and too hard to use for 3D navigation.
1. This article explains the development of a cursor that can move forwards and backwards in addition to up, down, left and right. The whole idea is that people will be able collaborate on projects involved with design from anywhere they are in an intuitive fashion that allows them to have an easier time manipulating they’re tools and materials. 2. I don’t see what is so great about this. I think 2 dimensional mouses work perfectly well and when 3 dimensional design is necessary, programs like Blender and CAD do that perfectly well. And of course it needs to be available on my smart phone so I can design the Mars settlement shuttle while I’m on the subway! I mean, I guess...?
1. This article is about some researchers making a 3D mouse possible on a screen. It is made for a more interactive experience with your computer. 2. I hate it in my opinion. It would make you slower, using 3D programs are hard enough, and the HoloLens is basically you being the 3D mouse. There is not much of a use of it because the regular 2D mouse works just fine. I would not use it unless what you need to use it with something that requires a 3D cursor program to use it. I feel like it would work perfectly with some programs.
1. This article talks about a 3D mouse cursor. It talks about how the mouse courser we use today will soon become outdated, and almost everything will use this new one. It's much more precise and can be used for lots of things.
2. I like it a lot! I think it is a fun new way of interacting with things. Do I think it will replace the normal mice we use today? I don't think so, but it is really cool! I can see it being used as a new way to use 3D modeling programs. You could make things almost to scale, and walk around in it. It's a very cool concept, and I would enjoy seeing it being used in classrooms if possible.
1. This article is about how this high-tech cursor, developed by Dorta and his colleagues, can select objects in the 3D virtual world. It also talks about how the smartphone or tablet becomes the track pad itself.
2. I truly would love to be able to play with virtual objects with a 3D cursor. I just find it really cool to be able to take a computer generated object and be able to examine it thoroughly as if it was there. The 3D cursor opens up so many new possibilities for medical research and architectural design. This technology really brings a whole new meaning to perspective.
1. the article is about a 3D cursor developed by Dorta and colleagues that can select objects in a 3D world space inside a computer and tablets and smartphones could also be used for this cursor
2. I think its a great idea and its another step for technology and I would like to use it but I feel like the cursor would lose some of its promise because I feel like if a generation that hasn't grownup with the technology as a norm then some of its promise would be lost but I still think its a great concept.
1. The article discusses the development of cursor technology into a 3D space instead of the traditional 2D space of a mouse today. Researches have been able to use smartphones to manipulate objects in a 3D plane. This would be especially useful when using modeling software. This technology could be used in conjunction too information presented in 3D.
2. At the moment, I do not think 3D cursors are practical. However in the future, I think it is promising. It is difficult for me to imagine a case where 3d windows and navigation menus would be better than 2D presentations. What is the point of the third plane when it really can’t be utilized with stacked windows. Why would the window being presented at a distance beneficial? I am sure there are ways to make it work but at a quick glance I can not see any obvious benefits.
1. Traditional mouses have kept a similar design and function for a very long time now. This article addresses the new, innovative ways we see people interacting with a computer. Specifically, 3-D cursors.
2. I think a 3D cursor would be awesome for navigating through files and searching the internet. I don't think this will be good for computer gaming though. It might just be bias, but I feel like that people have grown accustom the mouse in such a way that it would no longer be beneficial or even practical to learn. I wonder if we could set up something with the LEAP motion...
1. The article is all about how the future of computers shouldn't be confined to a small screen with a flat cursor. The University of Montreal in Canada has already been experimenting with 3D space using their hands or tablets as the "cursor" to control their environment. They hope to get rid of a flat cursor and give users more mobility when interacting with 3D space in programs.
2. I feel like this might be a little ahead of it’s time, as we don’t really seem to have great technology available to everyone to use a 3D space to control a computer. I think the idea is really neat, but the world might not be ready. If they push it out too soon, then the idea might fail apart and never be sucessful.
1. This article is about this new 3D Cursor and how everyone in the future is going to change to this cursor and everyone's going to use this cursor. This cursor can do a lot more then our cursor today and is going to be sued using your hands to react with things around you.
2. I feel that this new 3D Cursor is really amazing but I don't think that it is going to replace our cursor today. Besides that this new cursor is really useful in many situations and could be really useful in the educational field of things.
1. The article is about creating a 3D desktop with a mouse that can move in a 3D plane. It also talks about how smartphones and tablets will be used as the track pad. It says that it will be easier than the traditional mouse.
2.The 3D mouse doesn't seem like it would be easier to use, but that might be the part of me that's un willing to change talking.
Man its a good thing I don't have to do these anymore ;)
