The campaign has seen a number of setbacks and delays, mostly around a familiar theme: Going from prototype to mass manufacturing is really hard.
So essentially with Junaio Mirage — which is really a prototype right now — when you put on Google Glass or other wearable devices you can see any of the content of Junaio in your real environment.
Sometimes, it's better to wade right in and knock out a prototype if: a) the technology involved is really simple or well understood b) it's easier to show the prototype to explain the project than co-ordinate various meetings with everyone who'll eventually be involved c) not many people are watching (and those that are watching tend to be early adopters).
He showed me the prototype which was really just an upload button, you uploaded a 3D file and got back a URL and saw the 3D file in your web page.
Indeed, a few people pointed out to me "why would you need to touch external surfaces, when the iPad screen is right in front of you?" However that question totally misses the point of the prototype, which was really just proving the concept was worth further exploration.
The current test piece looks very ugly but is really a very early prototype to assess forces".
Now, a new prototype shows that the future of music is really in our capable hands.
Prototype, prototype, prototype: Rapid prototyping also allows for market testing from the early stages to understand how your product is really received.
"The goal for them is to really prototype and walk away with a working design model, or one that is really close that they can continue on with," says Sarah O'Rourke, a marketing manager at Autodesk and Superhero Cyborgs project lead.
This is really, really important, in that the whole concept of "prototype 180" is a conceptual work of art that will make architecture perform in the historical trajectory.
