Matt Jones:My talk at DxF2009 in Utrecht last week was an hour’s wander around the idea of Time, particularly historical and cultural ideas of time. My focus was time as a material for interaction design that we should deconstruct and reconstruct in order to create products and services that take advantage of new real-time web technologies.DxF2009, Utrecht: "All the time in the world" View more documents from Matt Jones.
"30 years ago, people predicted that there would be flying cars, laser guns and advanced navigation systems in the future. Today, we have finally achieved one of those predictions with the iPhone ARider.
The ARider allows the user to navigate hands free with a head mounted display. With the GPS features in the iPhone, all you have to do is move your head and the map will rotate with you. When mounted on a helmet, the ARider is the perfect tool to take along with you while biking as you will never get lost again."
It seems the iPhone really tickles the fancy of some Japanese gadget freaks. Following the DIY iPhone digital signage system bag, Tokyo-based Ubiquitous Entertainment now gives us something even cooler: The "iPhone ARider", a futuristic, portable navigation system. The ARider, an experimental project, mainly consists of an iPhone 3GS and a retractable head-mounted display (model T3-A by Scalar Corporation).
