Why doesn't it exist yet?

Forced Star Trek, Star Wars and WoW intervention and re-education.

Well, we're one-third of the way there. They've got something like that for WoW in Korea.

A game engine that you write code for once and it spits out optimized versions for PC, XBox 360, and PS3. (I'd include Wii, but who am I kidding?)

Flying cars. I know theres those personal helicopter things, but dammit whats taking so long?

 

[theonlyblaze2]

I want my holograms, dammit!

SHAZAM!

That if flippin' amazing! How do they do that?

It's not that complicated. (well, okay, it IS, but the basic principal is simple)

That bright light you see in the backround in the projector. It's projecting the image of the girl onto a nearly-invisible sheet of special glass, in front of the audience.

Her voice is a "vocaloid", a computer program that takes sound bites from a real person, and uses that to let the programmer make any sound that the person could. This is usually used to make words, and in this case, sing.

So it isn't 3 Demensional? It is just projected onto glass? I thought you could walk around it and see it from all sides like a hologram out of Star Wars.

We're not quite there yet. But, hey, baby steps. The fact that holograms are commercially viable (that video is taken from a vocaloid concert, which are quickly becoming popular in Japan), means that the technology will be improved and perfected.

This is still one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. I read that the singer is going to do a show in New York and I am thinking of going, out of pure curiosity.

Furries
Why they should exist-Because they are awesome
Why they don't exist-Because secret, global, genetic modification is apparently frowned upon in most countries...

Simply put "because we wanna fuck em" is not sufficient reason to make cat people using tax dollars. If you can self fund the project go nuts.

 

[Keymik]

Ahem, Hoverboards gentlemen? You all know you want one.

 

[Jegsimmons]

why isn't their a device in peoples PC that for every stupid youtube comment they type they get a shock that rivals a police taser.

or why isn't their a continuation of a specific game that involves a voiceless protagonist who favors a certain tool of prying intent?

An alarm clock which remote activates a coffee machine to provide you fresh, hot coffee if you hit the off/snooze button ... obviously if you're not at home you don't want the thing going off because you forgot to turn off the clock so hitting the snooze/oiff button on the alarm clock tells the machine someone is home.

I wish I was tech cluey enough to create such a system o.o

Isn't the internet around because we wanna fuck things :3?

Although tax dollars should be put else where i agree with that.

That is very interesting...im putting my top men on it...and by that i mean my imagination.

Sounds like cry engine 3. http://mycryengine.com/

OK, the singer is annoying as hell, plus it's in a language I don't understand so that's annoying to me as well. Then there's the fact that she's shaped as one of those schoolgirl anime characters, the really annoying ones from the animes that I don't like. So generally, this video should be annoying to me.

but I'll be damned if that isn't one of the most awesome things I've ever seen

Not into the Japanese scene? How about something alittle more... british?

 

[chiggerwood]

Why does someone not find some way to create Hakurei Reimu and make her a real person? Or Yakumo Yukari... I WILL FUND THIS. WIF ALL MY MONIEZ. REIMU OR YUKARI WILL EXIST, GODDAMNIT.

And just when i thought I could go one day without being creeped out.

This is the internet buddy if you find a way to do that you'll be god among men. At least in my eyes. Now if you'll excuse me I gotta scrub myself clean now (freakin' google images.)

Also, in theory, furries would be blended with human DNA, resulting in a fully aware, fully sentient mind.

And they probably wont want to fuck you. Fucking smooth skin.

That's just a coincidence, I swear.

Really.

The Matrix, for its possible applications as the world's most awesome video game platform, obviously.

Blitzball. Why doesn't it exist? It would be a great sport for FF nerds/people who are TOO ENERGETIC FOR NORMAL SPORTS.
