Google Glass project
Gear  |  Projects
Google has just released a video which shows off the UI for its Glass project.
"Want to see how Glass actually feels? It's surprisingly simple. Say "take a picture" to take a picture. Record what you see, hands free. Even share what you see, live." On-lens directions, voice-controlled messages, web searches, notifications, and even on-the-fly translation. The glass looks kinda fun! Watch the video.
Now, the glasses will be available "creative individuals" via its #ifihadglass page, for same princely sum of $1,500. Google claims to "be looking for bold, creative individuals who want to join us and be a part of shaping the future of Glass...We’re still in the early stages, and while we can’t promise everything will be perfect" [ Google Glass ]

Rooms seen from above. By photographer Menno Aden.
"I started photographing rooms of friends in Berlin, to make portraits of them without actually seeing them. Many of them had—or still have—an unpretentious life, which is quite typical in Berlin since rents have been quite low.”

21 Swings
Gear  |  Projects
"The result is a giant instrument made of 21 musical swings; each swing in motion triggers different notes, all the swings together compose a piece, but some sounds only emerge from cooperation.
The project stimulates ownership of the public space, bringing together people of all ages and backgrounds, and creating a place for playing and hanging out in the middle of the city centre. "

Computer Board Table
Array
Gear  |  Projects
Built by David Maloney using boards and drives from old Intergraph 6000 series machines made in the late 80s early 90s.
"For years I've been throwing old computer boards into a box in the garage to someday recycle them into some sort of project. It finally popped in my head to create a table with them using some of the black walnut from a tree we cut down a few years ago and had milled in the yard with a portable mill.
It's basically two tables. One internal table to screw the boards to and another set of wood frames with glass that slide on top of the board table. It's basically a wood diorama. It will be very easy to swap out the computer boards with something else once we get tired of the look of the boards."

BeetBox uses real beets to make music
Array
Gear  |  Projects


BeetBox is a simple instrument that allows users to play drum beats by touching actual beets. It is powered by a Raspberry Pi with a capacitive touch sensor and an audio amplifier in a handmade wooden enclosure.
Here's how it works:
    Inside the cabinet is a Raspberry Pi Model B computer hooked up to an MPR121 capacitive touch sensor. A Python script detects any touches on the beets, and plays drum samples using the pygame gaming module system. The sounds produced are fed to an LM386-based amp and on to a speaker located behind the holes in the wood.

Five Hours of Airplane Landings Condensed Into Under 30 Seconds
Gear  |  Projects
A 25-second time-lapse video showing "all landings at San Diego Int Airport on Black Friday Nov 23, 2012 between 1030am and 300pm."
Created by photography and film professor Cy Kuckenbaker.
"To give the video a sense of temporal change as the planes fly by I did an 8 hour time-lapse under a bridge nearby shot at the same angle and composited it over the planes. Without it there’s no sense of time passing. I used an intervalometer to shoot about 800 images with the same exposure as the video. Once I had it posted as a regular video clip, I keyed the sky out of it as well. I put everything together in Adobe Premiere, which challenged my system since I needed 40 video tracks to stack all the airplane clips together."
He was inpired by a omposite photo of planes, taken by Korean Ho-Yeol Ryu at Hannover Airport.

“Fast Track” is a 167 foot long trampoline track that was installed in Nikola-Lenivets park in rural Russia for the Archstoyanie art festival. It created by Estonian architecture firm Salto Architects.
"“Fast track” is a integral part of park infrastructure, it is a road and an installation at the same time. It challenges the concept of infrastructure that only focuses on technical and functional aspects and tends to be ignorant to its surroundings. “Fast track” is an attempt to create intelligent infrastructure that is emotional and corresponds to the local context. It gives the user a different experience of moving and percieving the environment."
