Oh gawd Doctor, I feel like I've got this gaping hole in my chest where a Pandora should be, it aches all the time and I don't know what to do! Wine does nothing, women can't even begin to fill this emptiness, even the taste of food pales in comparison before the glory that is the Pandora...

I guess we'll know if we were close once the solar system reverses all its orbits and the clocks start running backwards, since to actually make further progress in the Pandora production pipeline would threaten to break the Two Months Law. :P I predict that time will then proceed to oscillate...

+1. Any thoughts from the more experiened among us? I would also like to point out that getting ARToolKit and its brethren running seems to be a rather messy process - it's finnicky and even a bit buggy, or so I'm led to understand, although it seems to work well enough once it's running. I...

Ugh...just a warning regarding Linux-goers who are interested in the open AR packages like ARToolKit, Studierstube and the like; I've had awful luck getting any of them running. I'm hardly a Linux native, so it may just be general noobishness on my part (I'm running Crunchbang Linux, a flavor...

I just found this recently, thought you'd want to know, based on your rather enthusiastic comments: http://www.cc.gatech.edu/dart/ If I understand right, this is everything you need to get going on AR projects with basic equipment, although I don't know if there's a Linux port...I'm meaning to...

I wonder if there's a half-decent Bluetooth webcam or something on the market... >.> For the AR elite, there are also augmented reality glasses, too: http://www.techpin.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/wrap-920av-brings-3d-viewing-to-the-vuzix-iwear-video-glasses-line-2.jpg I don't know much in...

It has been every other time, after all. ;) In all seriousness, though, based on past and present discussion about shipping and construction times, and assuming the current rendition of the cases gets the green light, I would think the first customers would be receiving their Pandoras right...

If I had a Facebook account, I might just do that, but I'd rather not-whine about it here once and then go mess with my newly acquired Arduino instead... Priorities, y'know? :P Besides, I've moved on from not-whining about how the Pandora lacks a camera to not-whining about how it's going to...

I still want my damn camera too... Also, is it just me or are there rather a lot of lawsuits going on in the IT world these days? Maybe I'm just more aware of what's already going on, though...

There's no need to be aggressive; you don't have to participate in the discussion if you dislike the content. Besides, the thread hasn't so much been derailed as it has changed direction by this point, if you ask me... :P Anyway, I don't think we really are whining about it. The people who...

One example of what an outward-facing cam could be used for, in addition to simple visual captures: This is just one example demo, there are plenty of other augmented reality projects starting to brew these days, and I wouldn't mind tinkering with one some time. :) EDIT: Just found this...

This is basically what I was thinking, since there's probably no way to conveniently get an internal connection and avoid filling one of the external ports... I think SparkFun carries webcam internals?

If the Pandora did have an outward-facing camera embedded in the lid, as I envision, I know I'd use it enough to really appreceate it in the long run. I'd rather not have to deal with an unweildy USB jack poking out of the Pandora in my pocket while simultaneously managing an awkward USB cam...

+1 to this and the above comments on augmented reality and barcodes (it's worth noting that some really interesting things, including games, are beginning to appear on that front). Speaking for myself, I feel like one of the key purposes of a UMPC-style device is to assist in capturing relevant...

Dare I ask exactly what you mean? Have you ever worked with him? I can't help but wonder exactly what qualities would generate that kind of attitude from those who know him/know about him... :blink: Then again, I don't mean to pry, so ignore the question if you prefer. :P

Oh, I'm sure all that extra irony only made it all the more horrifying.

True badasses are really just geeks in disguise. :D All others are just posers.

He who controls the "internet" controls the memes! And thus the WORLD! :ph34r: We can only dare to try!

I've only been around the community here a short while compared to the 2-year veterans around here, so I can't speak from experience, but I think that if the Pandora is really what you want, you would regret that decision. The boards are done, the cases are extremely close to being done, and...
