magnetic

“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.

iView prototype

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.

piclens

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!

Things

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.

Tagged in Motion

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.

Flash Sims

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.

A-Maze-ing

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

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)

Flash Flying

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
