Dropped "being involved" in what I want to do to "doing" what I want to do. This involved moving to New York and running my own web consultancy, which failed miserably. Still a great decision.
I agree that glasses are the ultimate direction that mobile devices and AR are heading towards, but I don’t think holding a device up in the air is the worst interaction (compared to something strapped to your face with VR, even a helmet might be better?)
I think holding a device in the air and shining it around has a natural feel similar to a magnifying glass or a flashlight. More intuitive and not as intrusive. That’s just my opinion though.
It's true that loading fast and giving you the info you wanted directly from the search results page is a good thing. It is also important to realize there's a trade off happening where you're further locked into Google and their ecosystem. It's a pretty dramatic change to the way search has worked up until now. It more mimics the way internal webviews work in Apps like Twitter and Facebook apps.
If I'm reading this correctly, out of date versions of chrome (>10 weeks old) simply weren't loading sites like https://www.amazon.com/
This exact issue was affecting my girlfriend's machine a few days ago. I restarted chrome to update and the problem went away. At the time, I just thought it was an overly pushy new feature by google to force people to update.
It's not that easy. Loading obj's into three.js is like trying to open a jpg in '94. Everything has to be exported just right otherwise three.js will just throw an error. It's sort of arcane.
There's something non-standard going on with it for me. It snaps to certain sections at the bottom and I can't swipe to navigate back and forth like I usually do.
