So your sitting in your living room - watching your favorite sitcom when your daughter runs in and asks you to help her figure out what she needs to take with her in order to survive an epic wilderness adventure. The response that comes to mind might be - "I'll be there in a little bit - as soon as I'm done watching my show." Another voice inside your head says "I don't have much experience with those online games" or "I had a hard day today - I really need to flat-line." Finally, a third voice reminds you that you have not spent much time doing something that your child would like to do, and then you wonder if games are good for them or not - or 'why can't they just go outside and play with the other kids like the good ole' days.' But wait a minute - the good ole days are here and now and today kids play with one another online. Sure you might forbid their access, but not for long.

Cosmic Origins Partners with Metaio GmbH

Image "There is no Sanctuary" exclaimed Logan Five to the City Interrogation Computer in the classic 1976 film "Logan's Run." In that sequence the audience glimpsed one of the first mainstream implementations of a hologram.

Today the hologram (or a more advanced iteration of the notion) has been developed in Munich Germany, by Metaio GmbH. The tag is "Augmented Reality" (AR) and it allows virtual 3D information to be superimposed seamlessly into the real environment at real-time. AR systems are a whole new kind of interface between the real world and the computer-generated 3D world of virtual reality.

"The implementations for this are astounding" says Daniel McMillan, owner and visionary of Cosmic Origins, a new Metaio US partner. "Today we are witness to science-fiction as fact, just as Jules Verne envisioned man on the moon, Metaio has virtually developed man in thin air."

2007 was a good year for Cosmic Origins! As we move into our 8th year, I'd like to take a moment to say thanks, and wish everyone a Happy New Year. In review, all client projects were turned around on time, and with good customer satisfaction. Satisfaction is guaranteed, no matter what design project graces the studio, and best of all - it is affordable!

Among several new surprises for 2008, we are excited to announce that we are launching “Onebubble.net - Saving the Planet One Hero At A Time."

Onebubble will exemplify core values, knowledge, and explore other models for development of sustainable lifestyle. To accomplish this, Cosmic Origins will direct the Onebubble experience to focus on fun, edutainment, use-case, social contribution, and everyday heroes. We've all spent time and energy being consumers, but now it is time to repair the damage of 19th and 20th century thinking. The new forward thinking paradigm is a conscientious one. Please join us in this celebration of life for the future of all children.
