How Adobe Wants to Turn Flat 360-Degree Videos Into True Virtual Reality (EXCLUSIVE)

Posted by in categories: futurism, virtual reality

Hardly a day has gone by this month without the announcement of a new virtual reality (VR) camera system. Facebook, Google and GoPro all aim to make VR more immersive with new cameras, some of which won’t be commercially released for the foreseeable future. However, researchers at Adobe believe that you may not need new camera hardware at all for a big leap in immersion.

Adobe’s head of research Gavin Miller is going to present new cutting-edge technology at NAB in Las Vegas this Tuesday that could one day be used to turn flat, monoscopic 360-degree videos shot with consumer-grade spherical cameras into fully immersive VR video, complete with the ability to lean into the video — something that’s being called six degrees of freedom (6DoF) among industry insiders.

This ‘artificial womb’ is like science fiction—but uteruses aren’t out of a job yet

Posted by in categories: futurism, transhumanism

Many people thought I was way too optimistic with my prediction (read the Popular Science article) about artificial wombs in 2004 with my Vice Motherboard story (which went viral). It turns out the tech is coming sooner than many imagined. Enjoy! http://www.popsci.com/artificial-womb-science-fiction #transhumanism


A bag-like device kept lamb fetuses alive longer than anything else has before. What does that mean for human pregnancy? Read on.

24 Natural DHT Blockers to Stay Away From

Posted by in category: futurism

I don’t advocate natural DHT blockers and especially not natural DHT blockers. I advocate increasing DHT to the maximal. DHT is the greatest male hormone to have roamed the body. This post is to show you what to stay away from in terms of DHT.

DHT gets a lot of shit for prostate issues and hair loss. I haven’t seen a single conclusive study though. Some studies say its the DHT/testosterone ratio that causes hair loss, some say its low testosterone, and others say its high DHT. Bottom line is there is no conclusion.

Even if DHT cause hair loss, I don’t give a damn. Its just hair and nothing else. I’m going to stay far away from these 24 natural DHT blockers.

Posted by in categories: futurism, satellites

The 33rd annual Space Symposium wrapped up recently in Colorado and New Atlas was on hand to check out some of the exhibits and talks. Amidst the rocket models, jet engines and satellites, we found a quiet corner to sit down with Scott Fouse, the vice president of Lockheed Martin’s Advanced Technology Center. For our One Big Question series, we wanted to get his thoughts on what reaching for the stars will look like in the future, so we asked him: What will space exploration look like in 2040?
