I blogged about Kinect — or Natal as it was know back then — a little while ago. The technology is truly amazing, it watches how you move, listens to what you say and understands you… it’s a massive advance in interaction and leaves everything else dead in the water. Even better it’s available for you to buy this this November for your Xbox 360. This is futurist technology that you’ll be able to own very soon. Peter Molyneux presented the first live demo of Milo to TED and the video of the talk is now live. It’s an interesting listen and shows how Kinect has the potential to create new experiences. The animation looks fantastic too. I might have to get an Xbox 360!

The value of design
August 5th, 2010 · Edward · No Comments
I came across this the other day and thought it was an interesting blend of film, design and old stop-frame animation. The International Council of Graphic Design Associations commissioned it for their annual design week to explore the value of design in Vancouver. A simple idea nicely executed!

The Art of Analog Computing
July 6th, 2010 · Ric · No Comments
Ever wondered how a design agency does it’s work? This fantastic video by Meltmedia explains all.
“The premise of this short film is to represent the digital tools and interfaces we use daily in an analog way. In the analog office, your computer desktop becomes your actual desk, your inbox gets flooded with Spam cans, the server runs past you multiple times a day (and perhaps crashes every now and then), and Twitter users follow each other around the space. This concept is essentially just for fun but also reminds us just how digitally connected we all are.”

Lego foosball table
July 5th, 2010 · Ric · No Comments
This project combines several offices favourites, Lego, foosball, computers and small furry rodents! The custom built table uses Lego WeDo sensors to automatically update the score after a goal and the balls tumble down a cleverly designed ball return mechanism. One of the benefits of using Lego is you can change the team kit, in the above photo we can see a team of Dutch builders — however the official ITSF say no hats are to to be worn whilst playing table football. Be sure to check out the video that’s filmed in super slow motion after the read more link.

Human LCD Screen

These guys must practice alot but I think that the results speak volumes. I’m not sure if they are available for hire but imagine them supporting your team or event. What an amazing display of typographic fun on the big scale. The kanji characters splitting and reforming halfway through the video was impressive.
