I’m Just Tweeting To Tell You I Blogged

Good stuff. The debate rages on.

iPhone + RFID: Object-Based Media

iPhone RFID: object-based media from timo on Vimeo.

Last bit of nerd shenanigans for today…

This is a prototype of an iPhone media player that uses RFID embedded in physical objects to control media playback.

Another interesting idea to put in your back pocket and bust out later.

Webcam Face Tracking + 3D Flash Scene

The video doesn’t really do this justice.

There’s a mouse-driven version – but you don’t really get the wow factor.

If you’ve got a webcam try the full demo for yourself here.

There’s the potential to do some really cool stuff with this.

Amazing 3D Immersion Technology

Amazing 3D immersion technology from IDEO Labs on Vimeo.

A simple, featherweight headset, a 10′ x 10′ x 10′ white room, and $600,000 worth of projector and computer equipment, combined with the smarts of the folks at Eon Reality, results in one insanely real experience.

There’s some talent young guns out there.

Amazing Projection Mapping Showreel

I’ve just been blown away. The quality of the projection mapping on this showreel from Easyweb.fr is top class.

I’m gonna have to use this on a project soon!!

The Strange World of Infomercials

I’d never seen a Infomercial until I was in New York about 10 years ago. There’s something strangely hypnotic about them.

Everything about them should make you look away in revulsion. But it’s like rubber-necking at the scene of a car crash.

I decided to share a couple of straight-talking-fact-laden beauties.

Loud ‘n’ Clear

Ideal for Over-protective Parents, Hunters, Old People and Stalkers

ShamWow

Rated #1 Infomercial Of All Time by CNBC. Yes that’s right. They vote on them.

After the success of the ShamWow infomercial, smooth talking ‘host’ Vince Shlomi celebrated his new found superstardom by getting arrested after having a punch-up with a prostitute.

European teleshopping experiences have always let me down. I’m sticking with my 2 minute American infomercials.

As Dragnet used to say.. “I Just Want Facts Mam, Just the Facts”

Tone Matrix

Tone Matrix is a simple sinewave synthesizer triggered by an ordinary 16-step sequencer. Each triggered step causes a force on the underlaying wave-map, which makes it more cute.

Would be great to be see it support save and add more patterns so you can create bigger pieces, but it’s a lot of fun to play with.

It’s like a little brother to the Tenori-on. (see demos below)

Qapture. Links Inspired By Twitter Chat

Qapture captures and ranks the links being shared right now by some of the most interesting folks on Twitter.

Think of Qapture as an “of the moment” aggregator inspired by all the chatter about Twitter.

Here’s how it works:

1. They find people who tweet amazing links

2. They grab those links and categorize them by contributor

3. They share them with you and measure their popularity

As a start, they created categories that fall into the field of digital communications – things like strategy and design. Their plan is to broaden these over time, maybe delving into pop culture, food or humor.

Qapture was created by Big Spaceship.

One to watch.
