In Vernor Vinge novel Rainbows End, the author imagines a near future where everybody wears computers knitted into their clothing, which are connected to augmented reality contact lenses or glasses. Everybody looks at the world through a layer of data, whether that just social information about the people they ;re talking to, or a full-blown MMO overlay that turns their college campus into a medieval village. People use these AR go stanley website ggles to do everything from research to gaming; Vinge stanley thermos imagines AR as a technology that can pull the web into the real world. Now, Google is going to do exactly what Vinge predicted. Over at the New York Times, Nick Bilton reports on a Google X project that could put AR glasses on your face in less than a year, for roughly the cost of a smart phone. Bilton writes: The glasses will have a low-resolution built-in camera that will be able to monitor the world in real time and overlay information about locations, surrounding buildings and friends who might be nearby, according to the Google employees. The glasses are not designed to be worn constantly although Google expects some of the nerdiest users will wear them a lot but will be more li stanley quencher ke smartphones, used when needed. Internally, the Google X team has been actively discussing the privacy implications of the glasses and the company wants to ensure that people know if they are being recorded by someone wearing a pair of glasses with a built-in camera.

Apparently xenophobia is at least part of the reason for a recently-announced budget cut to the US Office of Science and Technology Policy. Science Insider reports: Frustrated that White House officials have igno stanley cup red congressional language curtailing scientific collaborations with China, legislators have decided to get their attention through a 32% cut in the tiny budget of the Office of Science and Technology Policy OSTP . . . A 2012 spending bill expected to be approved later this week slashes OSTP current $6.6 million budget to $4.5 million . . . The implicit reason for the budget cut is an ongoing battle between House of Representatives Republicans and the White House over the threat to U.S. interests posed by collaborations with China in high-tech sectors such as space, energy, computing, and advanced manufacturing . . . stanley nz Alan Leshner, CEO of AAAS which publishes Science Insider outlined the negative impact of a shrunken OSTP. We believe such a drastic reduction to OSTP budget will dramatically inhibit the ability of the federal government to coordinate, prioritize and manage the federal research and development R 038;D effort, Leshner wrote. This kind of reduction would also seriously limit the ability to take appropriate account of science and technology considerations in the formulation of diverse policies. So let me get this straight.
