3D without all the Gadgetry.

Since I was a little kid games have saught after a realistic feel to them. They have come out with visors that you can wear, some fancy electronic motion sensing suits, or just some plain two colored lenses in some glasses.

The gaming industry has tried to capture this realistic feel at an affordable price for a long time. There was the Nintendo Power glove, Virtual Boy and now the Wii. All of these products from Nintendo shared the same goal; make the experience more realistic.

Johnny Chung Lee has come up with a system that gives a player a more submersive feel in a game than we have ever had before at a descent price. This price is about the same price as a Nintendo Wii. It is the same price because he uses the Wii's technology to implement his design. His design is called head tracking. Head tracking tracks the angle of your view(the position of your head) and then adjust the picture to that angle creating a realistic view and feel to the game.
Check out his video that he has made to show this in action.

truism - a self-evident, obvious truth.

"...truth is relative and each viewer must become an active participant in determining what is legitimate and what is not." - Jan Avgikos


If you go to Google and do a search on truisms you might find some familiar phrases like the early bird gets the worm or the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. These are some examples of truisms. We have probably heard these sayings all our lives

It could be argued concerning the author of such phrases but one person that we could call the creator of the truism is Jenny Holzer. She has written several hundred of these one liners.

Some examples of her work are:
everything that's interesting is new
private property created crime
self-contempt can do more harm than good

She not only writes these truisms but uses them in her unique art. She does so by publishing them in public places so passer-bys can see them.
