Augmented reality toys that can change pants and personality
Wohoo! I’m excited to see companies explore the posibilities of augmented realities.
London design firm Berg and Japanese ad agency Dentsu have announced a line of augmented reality toys called Suwappu. The little figurines have swappable heads and bodies; depending on how they’re configured, they interact differently and draw different environments for themselves in the augmented reality world.
Beyond these toys, we think Suwappu is a new kind of content platform, with various exciting social, creative and commercial possibilities.

Generated Logo Design — MIT MEDIA LAB
An algorithm can create 40,000 logo shapes in 12 different color combinations, providing the Media Lab an estimated 25 years’ worth of personalized business cards.
On another level, the logo looks ambitiously ahead, as the Media Lab itself so often does. “The Media Lab has outgrown this notion of traditional media, with researchers working in areas ranging from human computer interaction to neurobiology or nanotechnology,” The says. “Whatever ‘media’ means, it has been and will be defined at this place, in the next 5, 10, 20 years. The algorithmic logo is an effort to capture this dynamism.”
Just GREAT!
New York subway as a musical instrument in HTML5
A great project by interactive designer Alexander Chen where newmedia meets a greatidea. Stuff like this always makes me proud of my unfilled vision (can you be proud of something unfilled?), where I were no designer turtled my comfort zones, but just a smart creative person, doing brilliant things, no matter what media or tech I used.
At www.mta.me, Conductor turns the New York subway system into an interactive string instrument. Using the MTA’s actual subway schedule, the piece begins in realtime by spawning trains which departed in the last minute, then continues accelerating through a 24 hour loop. The visuals are based on Massimo Vignelli’s 1972 diagram.
mta.me is built in HTML5/Javascript. It pulls from the MTA’s public API, which provides a detailed schedule of stops and departure times. The design was created in Illustrator, then exported via SVG coordinates into HTML5 Canvas.
Length determines pitch, with longer strings playing lower notes. When a string is in the middle of being drawn by a subway car, its pitch is continually shifting.
As Alex describes it on his blog.
Just check out the website http://www.mta.me/ and have fun.
Egypt: "Velvet" Revolution Now Live
In case you want to keep yourself updated, Al Jazeera has a bunch of commentators and a lot of coverage.
This situation kinda reminds me of The Wall and what was happening here in Czech Republic. But will the revolution in Egypt be as Velvet as in 1989?
Or will it end with blood and sand?
Finally 3D without glasses!
Jonathan Post Experiment present by Francois. A new technology for 3D screens without glasses!
This system works only on 120Hz monitor displays. It simulates 3D Active Shutter Glasses. I hope to have a final version for CES 2012.
Beautiful, isn’t it?
