The idea is to use the Structure Sensor from Occipital (or an ordinary smartphone with SceneLib), to record the depths and colors of some scene, with readings of the accelerometers and gravitometers, etc. recorded, along with video with sound and color. Then using the orientation of the camera on t…

I was going to write up about the next topic tomorrow but now that I've thought about it, I realize I better not, until I publish it somewhere else, because it's just so awesome. So you'll have to wait. A few months. In the meanwhile I will talk about other ideas. And the game idea that it is for i…

For the next game idea, I'm going to have to explain two new things in two entries.

I came up with an idea of "cryptographic" like resources that are generated by computing power. Basically, they are like primes, and they can be traded, for example, if one player or factory doesn't have them, they c…

With the addition of accelerometers, gravitometers, magnetometers, cameras, LED beams, GPS tracking and navigation, flashlights, internet, calling, and making smartphones pretty much computers, are smartphones not the Swiss army knife of devices? With the addition of perhaps laser pointing, directi…

If you're interested in my art that I first posted, I have a DeviantArt account here: http://polyfrag.deviantart.com

So the next idea I have is, what if the smartphone had 3 or so "mini-RADARs"? Ie, they would rotate inside the phone, and you could use it to orient yourself with other devices or cel…

This is another idea I had with several variations. The basic idea is that you control a character, perhaps made of an upper and lower pre-rendered sprite with 8+ angles of yaw and pitch, and you have a crosshair in front that is 3-dimensional. You would use a projection of 3-dimensional coordinate…

[Don't know why this became a draft yesterday] Imagine if you're passing by on the street in a dense city, or sitting in an apartment building, or riding in some part of the city, and your smartphone is exchanging files via bluetooth and/or wifi-direct (piracy? new bit-torrent?). It would be like a…

Here is another idea I had. http://23.226.230.153/proj1/ml/ It would've used simplified physics, eg, for rotations and rotational response to different interpretation with the ground or other meshlife being line intersections or polygonal volumes, it would for example gotten the average point or ca…

The PS Vita has a nice design, and nice buttons and controls, don't you think? I wouldn't mind if it was running some linux/chrome/android-based operating system that I could develop on, and use for general productivity, and as a smartphone, instead of my smartphone right now. I was thinking how I …

[Afterword: I'm reinstating these entries because I was working on a 200-page something-or-other, and didn't realize I could split it up. How exactly is that related? Well, I'm not going to go into details. So just never mind.]

Hello, it's me... I have stopped working on games pretty much, and now a…
