and, taking it to its logical conclusion, pretty soon I will be able to look down newsreaders blouses?

Thank you for the reply (I was the AC - just posting from mobile, not logged in), that makes so much more sense and I can see the effect in the video is actually useful. Very similar to the technique adopted by Amazon with their phone.
I had only ever seen descriptions of tracking head rotation (or lazily scanned articles - more likely) and not considered tilt/vertical/horizontal.

Completely agree. If only you could be modded to 6

I wonder if they could employ some sort of 3D tracking* and then selectively shutter the relevant mirror whilst the bird flies through, it should only be momentary and not impact performance to a great extent. I'm making an assumption here that there is a way to shutter or otherwise divert the mirror for normal servicing operations, or 'throttling back'

Of course, if the bird gets closer to the boiler, more mirrors will be in play and likely difficult to manage, but this could be combined with an appropriate scare that can be mounted, or flown around the central structure

How can Bardarbunga be pronounced "Aya-fjatla-jÃfkÃf¼tl" ?
I believe I think you're thinking of the volcano that erupted in 2010. This is a different one.

Already commented so not able to mod - someone else with mod points out there? You've hit the nail on the head - atmos (or equivalent systems) with positional info distinct from the speaker channels should definitely get the best out of whatever installation
of course, there'll be the guys on here that point out that nothing will ever sound as good as their perfectly set up reference system, but they'll also be the ones complaining about 'the masses' having really badly set up rooms.
maybe that's it? a little bit of a frightner that time and effort may soon be nearly caught up with digital trickery?

that's how many amplifiers have been working for a while now (Yamaha are especially good at this with their discrete and sound projector lines)
Any new atmos enabled amp will have exactly that - see https://www.youtube.com/watch?... home theatre geeks
but a separate mic as you suggest isn't going to do very well....what's it going to tell your source/amp and what is it that you expect your source or amp to do with the info (if there was even an interface, so it could receive the info)?

I may be having a bad case of deja vu, but wasn't this discussed in detail only recently?

depends where, I believe that here in the UK at least you are able to have the book read out and recorded, copied to a large print, converted to brail, even typed up into word for you to read on screen. Of course, you could just buy them in that format to start with, but there's nothing illegal about doing so (or paying someone to do it for you).

> gives a new meaning to "fly by wire"

well, no, that literally is the meaning of fly by wire

most expensive and complicated headwear ever constructed?
obviously never been to Ascot Ladies Day! http://www.bing.com/images/sea...

The use of full encryption and wiping the key was commented on many times in the article http://yro.slashdot.org/story/... quoted in this piece. Even the original story was an advert for avast's app. Does this really now deserve a separate article?

Perhaps you're right, maybe it's just moved on to an accepted alias
It does just seem to indicate an unwillingness to move on though, and potentially hurts any point trying to make as the first thought is that whoever's using it is clinging to (potentially) outdated grievances, and allegiances, rather than wanting open discourse.
But I think I was being a little OTT there, it was late and I responded quickly.

PoE lighting is 'a thing' and many companies provide such sytems for offices (see, for example, http://www.nuleds.com/ ) why do you think it so far fetched?

You lost me at M$
Anyone wanting a serious discussion about MSFT automatically deducts credibility points from people using the outdated "M$", "Micro$oft" or "Microshaft" (amongst others)
