And, given that Toy Story could now probably be animated in real-time, the combining of computer-script-writing with computer direction and cinematography (already active areas of research in animation) could provide openings for unimaginably dynamic storytelling experiences.
The center-mounted heads-up display even assists the computer-read directions with directional arrows, a welcomed-feature that nearly replicates the experience provided by a true GPS unit.
Begin to experiment with hardware and software to learn how to control a computer into directions you've never read about one going.
Users don't have to tell the wearable computer the direction in which they are walking or looking -- it already knows.
In the middle movement, "Noise Impromptu," two notebook computers provided directions for a guided improvisation crammed with exaggerated squeaks, grinds and skitters.
"Trenchless technology" allows trenchers to bore underground ditches for pipes and cables with computer-aided direction, without ground-level digging.
Then the interior computer screen displays directions on how to park.

When Mr. Zadrayel is on the move, the computer indicates the direction in which he is heading and at what speed.
But an influential critic, David Gelernter, said the plan misjudged the computer industry's direction -- that rather than moving to an increasingly Web-centric model, computing is instead becoming rapidly decentralized, with the key information distributed among millions of individual desktop computers.
