potential future of smart glasses v17.04.23.txt

author: date:
- ideal smart glasses:
  • bluetooth low-energy to  smartphone for connectivity and local compute resources
  • dual heads-up display with full overlay
    • black-out mode for immersive virtual reality
    • transparency mode for virtual reality combined with augmented reality
  • bone conductor technology for audio
  • two split microphones for stereo sound processing
  • auto-tinting lenses vs. swappable (polarized)
  • video recording at 1080p or higher
  • haptic feedback - low frequency waves through transducer (bone conducting)
  • sweat and water resistant
  • pluggable to external power bank via cable through glasses retainers (ie: croakies)
  • eye tracking
- processing capabilities:
  • motion sense to read own hand gestures for audio/video start/stop
  • integration with cloud-based natural language processing (siri, alexa, cortana, google, etc)
  • augmented reality overlays (like snapchat, better than recon pro)
  • cloud sync of audio/video recording
    • speech to text for metadata indexing throughout the day
    • video post processing for object recognition
  • use of smartphone gps coordinates for onscreen maps
- eliminated devices
  • smart watches
  • dash cameras
  • in-car gps
  • airpods, headphones, earbuds
  • sunglasses
  • body cams (public safety)
  • vr glasses
- second-life like but in the physical world
  • imagine looking at someone through these glasses and their attire has been replaced with digital attire and is based on their current physical clothes contain markers like optitrack and what you see is a augmented reality version of the digital clothes the individual wanted you to see?
    • this would be akin to avatar building on an xbox 360 but for your own self interacting in the physical world.
    • sports celebrity players could have dynamic stats show on their clothes along with rotating advertisements (eye tracking) could gauge your interest in specific areas and natural language processing could be used to request more information to be displayed dynamically at the bottom of the heads-up display
- all technologies exist today and just need to be converged.

xenserver update v08.24.08.txt

author: Randy J. Cress date:
ok, while starting to building the new xenapp 4.5 farm (knowing 5.0 is right around the corner) I've decided not to scrap XenServer Enterprise and give the latest beta with NIC bonding and SAN FC multipathing a shot for our XenApp VMs along with Citrix PVS 5.0 (btw, Dell Flexible Computing has updated their download site) http://www.dell.com/flexiblecomputing Right now I don't have a problem saying we'll use XenCenter to manage the XenApp hosts running XenServer since the PVS servers are running in VMware ESX 3.5 along with the rest of the backend infrastructure.. I thought I would be stuck with no room for any shared storage since the SAN is fully carved with vmfs3 volumes and place from a Xen LVM but with Provisioning Server I can just stream the vDisks to the XenApp servers without a need for any hdd being visible to those VMs. On a side note, the VNC-based implementation for the console in XenCenter is not so cool.. it "feels" like VNC versus a guest run...

using vlc to create a web-based vod library v07.18.11.txt

author: Randy J. Cress date:
There are many reasons why you would want to create Video-on-Demand library with a web interface.. training videos, past security recordings, news clips, etc.. My reason was different this weekend.. it is starting to become difficult to weed through all of the DVDs with children's show for my daughter. While she has no problems sorting through the DVDs and picking out a show to watch if we label it correctly, it still is time consuming and over time the discs become worn and damaged. I needed a way to create a video on demand library and have it easy to use for her. Since she can navigate around on the web just fine, I wanted to make it as simple as YouTube for point and click access to her shows. Enter VideoLAN VLC Player/Server Now we can do the following: TV -> DVR -> DVD -> VLC -> RTSP -> PC = Happy Child The quick and dirty approach for serving DVDs over wired/wireless for VOD via the web: Download and install VLC 0.8.6c here . Copy the entire VIDEO...

an outlook for security improvements in 2019 v18.12.24.txt

author: date:
As we wrap up 2018, my news feeds and various email inboxes are littered with security breaches, security vendor hardware, software and training solutions. All citing an infamous undertone of someone that clicked on a bad link ultimately ending in unwanted code execution that led to more code execution and finally data exfiltration. I am taken aback by our current ecosystem of general purpose operating systems and their bloated sense of "purpose".  When is the last time you purchased multi-layer security solutions for your best of breed gaming platforms in your home network environment?  How often do you bludgeon your children's minds with security awareness training when downloading skins, avatars, games and expansion packs from the respective console gaming platforms online stores?  Do you recognize the computational power, network connectivity and deeply connected devices in your most personal home networks linked to video cameras, door locks and vast array of se...
