Create personalized sneakers from the world around you. Nice work from AKQA.

“Magnetic fields are invisible, at least usually. But Scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory have made them visible as “animated photographs,” using sound-controlled CGI and 3D compositing. It makes the fields, as explained by the scientists, dance in an absolutely gorgeous movie called Magnetic Movie.”
So it’s animation generated from sound.

It helps you to find the best books and websites for the creative fields of graphic design, illustration, web design and developement.

Watch the goals again, now in basic 3D on BBC online.

Plainview is a fullscreen web browser without any chrome at all specially made for presentations on the Mac. Nice!

This looks like cool way to watch a movie. Click and drag on the stuff you want to move.

A double panoramic LCD screen with a curve. Basicly it’s two monitors in one. There’s a smaller display on the back, so someone facing you can also see what’s up. It’s wireless and has two webcams, front and back. I bet it will give you a tan if you’re working on something with a lot of whites.

Check out this cool add-on for Mozilla Firefox (and of course flock). It’s a 3D browsing experience for photos and videos across the web. Dope!

I have been using Things for a couple of weeks now. A great little program for task management based on a GTD-like system. It features tasks, tags, project, areas, scheduled and recurring tasks and they are working on iPhone and iCal syncing. And it has a nice clean interface.Great for the unorganised like me. 

FrogConcept: Augmented reality devices would offer a new dimension in life - a virtual layer that could be used to “re-skin” the troubling outside world.

Homegrown – is Nokia design thinking on sustainability. Check out the press release including some nice concept images.

New update of the fast Alternativa3D engine, the 5th version, fully scripted in ActionScript 3 by talented Russian programmers (tech specs).

Not as NSFW as you might think, but still pretty cool.

This is the next gen in facial animation, for usage in games or commercials. With a nice real & virtual lady
to showcase it.

German agency Jun von Matt/Next gave graffiti artist Daim a chance to take his 3D style from the wall to a virtual portrayal. I like the idea, but it’s too bad we don’t get to see any actual 3D pieces.

The time it will take this plane to get from Europe to Australia. The A2, a project by Reaction Engines,
could be operating within 25 years. Patience.

Through LiveCastr, developed by Amsterdam based IceMobile, people can broadcast live video directly from their mobile phones to the web. Just watch out that you don’t broadcast the wrong video of yourself live…

The Steve Jobs 90 minute keynote at Macworld 2008 in 60 seconds

‘This site converts bitmap images to vector images, it’s an online auto-tracer. Just upload your image and we will vectorize it for you!’
Is what they say. And it works!

Skateboard that has a motor inside, which can be controlled over your mobile device. Sick!

Create your own minority report effect now, just at home! If you like playing with your Wii, tape, and your oldschool electronic toolbox this one is for you.

You’ve probably already heard of Google’s Open Handset Alliance Project. And if you’ve seen this demo of Android and you can code Java, you’ll probably get excited about the $10 million award story too!

With the Slingbox you can watch and control your tv from anywhere in the world. Don’t take my word for it…

A couple of Russian guys saw Papervision and thought they could build a better 3D engine for Flash. Keep in mind it’s a demo. Alternativa3D is optimized with upcoming game features in mind, and utilizes some non-trivial solutions to show game graphics quickly.

“Ever wonder what people are talking about across the room? With Listen Up, you can discreetly listen in.”

It hit the stores today packed with games, including the sweet TF2. Even if you don’t like games you must love this look & feel. The Incredibles meets multiplayer team warfare. 

A promotional site for Nissan uses Papervision 3D. Looks nice and has some nice games there too. An old-school marble maze and other old-school-games. All in some way combined with the Nissaon Rogue.

LucidTouch is a touch-sensitive gadget with the sensing panel on its back instead of the screen like the iPhone.
I like the idea cause you can use all of your fingers without obscuring your view of the screen and it seems more accurate than iPhones multitouch. (full article)

There are several 3D engines for Flash. The most popular is PaperVision, but now there is a demo of another engine. And it’s quite impressive. Flying above the mountains with a chill music on the background.

Enjoy
