I've been pondering what I can do with the oculus rift goggles that is unique and entertaining. Interestingly enough, I had a dream of something that I referenced to as Alternate Reality. Virtual Reality puts you in a virtual environment while Alternate Reality modifies your current environment. I'll add this to the list of project Ideas as a thought. As far as making this work, I'm thinking that I would add bifocal cameras to the oculus rift glasses and create a program that pulls in visual data and renders content on to that virtual area. I know there was something similar created for phones in a 2D spectrum... I'm thinking we can do it on a 3D level. Alternatively, I was thinking I could the kinect to create a map of the room of which is uploaded to a computer, and the computer generates a map based on the objects and dimensions of the room.

Projectini - No bueno
Greetings!
I haven't heard from the designer helping me with this so I'm looking for a designer willing to donate some time for this project. In the mean time, I'll be taking a shot at some of the design elements to try and get something out to the public by next month. I wouldn't want to loose the Google entrepreneurship opportunity that landed on my lap.
Oh well!

System Shock + Oculus Rift + Unity = Amazing
I've decided to post a couple of threads online to see if I can get any support for the System Shock 3 project. As of now, I'm hoping to create a working demo that'll grab further interest of the project. The demo will be compatible with the Oculus Rift goggles and should feature a handful of the assets and graphics used for the System Shock 3 title. There are copyright issues to this, but I'm hopeful of getting past that with a Demo and bringing it to the right holders for their blessing as well as a deal.
Any who, I still need a team who can help me with this so the offer is out there! Let's see who bites :)

It's be a while!
I haven't posted in a long time but I figured I'd post one of my recent ideas. I'm currently in the process of building a robot from scratch and I realized that what we need is an operating for robots. Now i'm not talking about a linux distro.. I'm talking a new operating system created from scratch that would be better suited for the integration of arduino devices and controllers.. I'll add this to my list of ideas, It definitely couldn't hurt!

Mock Ups!
Still in the process of creating Projectini (AKA Unity or Project X). Here are a couple of interactive wire frames I came up with. These should give me (and you!) a decent idea of what the website will contain and how it will work. Aside from a couple of eye sores, I gotta say that the logged in portion encourages me to complete my site so I too can use its tools!
Check the mockups out here!

System Shock 3 Anybody?
I felt somewhat nostalgic last night and went back to play some of my older games. I then remembered that my all time favorite game System Shock was on my PC and I proceeded to play for a bit wondering how nice it would be for a System Shock 3.
I then asked my self, Why not create it your self?
After giving it some thought and doing research on the trademark and rights to the game, I've concluded that I can make it happen if I can find a team who is willing to spend the time to recreate this game. Assuming I have a team or at the very least someone who is familiar with blender and unity, I would first create a demo. I would then use the demo and create a new Kickstarter project show casing the demo and asking for funding. Once fully funded, I can purse the rights of the game as well as attempt to buy the trademark off EA or come up with some kind of additional funding on their part to get the game going.
I'll add this to my list of projects.. Couldn't hurt right?
