AR and VR

Posted on by Reena Saxena

“hauled out of the garage

it rammed through the window

in a house new-age

carrying a monster within

called Rumpelstiltskin

the children prepared

they are not scared

it is a new tool

they are no fools”

“Stop”, screams mindful Mandy, “can’t you make it a space rocket with an alien inside? I don’t like this vehicle.”

Her Dad is pressing buttons again, and Mom is writing a new poem.

“Well, Mom, let AI write the poem. On second thoughts, can we have a set of new space-age parents, who will grow with us into the future, but not grow old?”

  8. A science fiction extravaganza, except not science fiction anymore :( I can see kids wanting AI androids as parent-companions. Who is to say that they wouldn’t do a good job?

    1. They did read out fairy tales to us. Some of us researched the ideas further to reach where we are today 🙂

      I read something about the Death Ray today, where Archimedes burnt Roman boats by using mirrors to generate heat. A 13-year old student set up the experiment in a science fair, but managed to generate intense heat, no fire. It seems someone else managed to burn wood, but could not replicate the results again.

      We read about aircraft in Indian mythology. If they did exist, it means technology was lost in between by human foibles, and reinvented later. There is something about gods and demons creating illusions by magic. Can we call it AR/VR?

      1. I feel there is a lot we don’t know. but these days how much can we believe? There is a lot lost in translation and hearsay. Though AR/VR are distinct technologies, there are similarities. Thing is they are ongoing and always changing how we experience things. It’s a different world in many ways or is it?
