the future planet - the black and white world.
where only your imagination can inject colour, texture, pattern and surface via the imagination goggles.
todays notes -
- imagination is our currency - credits are awarded for creativity where you can exchange for new items of clothing, hair styles and accessories that are stored in your virtual inventory. mass production no longer exists - it's all in your imagination. goggles act as a way of portraying your thoughts.
- the goggles allow you to visualise your perfect world yet you can trade credits to experience other peoples worlds.
- a small light is shown at the front of the goggles to show individuals feeling/mood (like sim diamonds)
- via social groups you are able to establish beliefs and morals that form part of your creative identity.
- creativity is key.

VR goggles
This virtual reality headset is just a technology demo from Sony, but it's easy to imagine that one day in the not so distant future, this will be how we all experience portable 3D entertainment.
Besides looking über futuristic, Sony's "virtual 3D cinematic experience" head mounted display (aka 'Headman') sports some fairly impressive specs. The tiny OLED screens inside are head HD resolution (1280 x 720), and the headphones integrated into the sides of the goggles are outputting high quality simulated 5.1 channel surround sound.
Since there are two separate displays, the goggles can create 3D scenes by presenting each of your eyes with a slightly different image. This is how your eyes see the world anyway, so once you get used to it, it's a much more natural way of experiencing 3D. It's also a plus that the design of the goggles blocks out all your peripheral vision and any ambient light, helping you relax into the experience, and the effect is something like sitting at the back of a very dark and private room containing a big screen TV.
Sony has no plans to make the goggles into a product, at least not right now, but I can see this being a pretty awesome portable entertainment device. I'd love to bury myself in one of these every time I'm on a bus or a plane, and it would be a handy thing to be able to whip out when conversation gets boring at the dinner table, too.
simulation games
"Life simulation games (or artificial life games) is a sub-genre of simulation video games in which the player lives or controls one or more virtual lifeforms. A life simulation game can revolve around "individuals and relationships, or it could be a simulation of an ecosystem"
Life simulation games are about "maintaining and growing a manageable population of organisms", where players are given the power to control the lives of autonomous creatures or people. Artificial life games are related to computer science research in artificial life. But "because they're intended for entertainment rather than research, commercial A-life games implement only a subset of what A-life research investigates." This broad genre includes god games which focus on managing tribal worshippers, as well as artificial pets that focus on one or several animals. It also includes genetic artificial life games, where players manages populations of creatures over several generations."
