Council, the international thinktank/network of excellence that I am a proud member of gets me talking about location, my article for glass magazine and some of my projects. Wish me luck…
Having launched our first product last week with great success, it is time to look at some updates and the next steps. Being our first attempt on an unusual social media website, it sure turns out to be a beautifully complex platform. We are now looking at optional google-maps or microsoft’s bing map or even our own tile set.
We still have a long list of features to add and improve, but the first travellers are on their way and we are all very curious and excited about what will happen during the first 80 days of the project.
The Palm-Pre ads seemingly had a strong impact on the technology-savvy community, yet not quite the way they imagined.
The philosophically inspired little life-moments with a new age touch, seemed to rather impact as the latest entry in trying to replace the ‘Stoner’ ads.
Being from a generation, where commercials were only starting to annoy you, I can’t help but think, if it’s still really working to sell outrageous dreamscapes to consumers.
Well, see for yourself:
As a constant ‘student’ of the overlap between fictional/digital and real space, this one is a very interesting example of the synergetical effect of media in human space.
After 2 long years (well with a big 1 year break inbetween) I am finally getting my little garage project 80DAYS on the way. Just got round the blue one first time yesterday. More to come and launch very very soon.
Some guys at Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University have been playing with latex and back-projections. The below video shows best what it’s doing. I would best describe it as physically supporting projections. It just makes it more haptic. Even though it is more flexible, it is still based on a fixed project-to-project based mask inside of it, or so it seems. Then again the most striking idea is the fact that it can detect push-pressure by measuring the air pressure change, now that’s sweet… till the latex wears out that is.
It would indeed be interesting to find out the durability of the latex, otherwise, one might have to redress the case many many times, plus I am wondering how great this one looks after a few hundred (kids with dirty fingers) visitors have used this. Enjoy the video, comments welcome.
I am NOT a great fan of robots, apart from Priss of course, but she is not really a robot (nerd). The ones below yet are something really different. Seems like only when we try to copy nature are we able to create something really beautiful.
