This sketch is primarily stuff we already know, the main point of interest is the small list of service icons that could feature when the service mode is on. In the studio discussion we talked about developments on the technological side of the Peep-hole. One suggestion was that instead of the ring projecting a hologram in the air they are merely a trigger for a contact lens the user wears that has a screen in it that projects the data directly onto the user's vision. Although this could be summoned by an audio trigger without too much difficulty, making the rings redundant, it removes the novelty of the action that activates the Peep-hole. Also, some people may not like having to wear a contact lens.
The technology that already exists is impressive and it could be developed in such a way that this could very well be possible, especially considering number 7 and 5 in this video;
Watching this definitely raises my faith in our abilities as a species.
This is the lens that would allow us to see an augmented reality. The full article is here; http://www.gizmag.com/electronic-contact-lens-promises-bionic-capabilities-for-everyone/8689/
It may still be in the prototyping phase but there is a lot of promise. Looking through this lens would allow us to view the world with the virtual data posted on top of it. An article on augmented reality can be found here; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality
Yes it's a wikipedia article but at least they draw their information from viable sources. The idea of augmented reality has been around for a while so this peep-hole idea is nothing too difficult to accomplish, as there is likely more than one way around it.
Hopefully there's a way of doing it without looking like a dork...
