3D INFOGRAPHIC PROJECTION MAPPING IN GRAND CENTRAL STATION!
Fancy seeing the world’s first 3D projection-mapped infographic animations?
Along with ad agency DDB London and the Financial Times, we helped gather data and shape some of the stories for three short infographic films which will be projection-mapped on the inside of Grand Central Station in New York! Go see!
(Projection-mapping throws a 3D model of an environment or space back on itself in order to pull off some incredible visual effects).
I’ve not seen the finished films yet. They’ll be unveiled tomorrow (Tuesday 27th March) and run continuously for three days. Hashtag #FTGW. But project-mapping ninjas the Klip Collective have an incredible reputation for large scale awesomeness.
There’s a preview (and a picture of me doing Karate) running at http://www.ft.com/graphicworld.

Light-Up Psychedelic Clothes Designed To Freak Out Squares And Protect Cyclists
The Superheroe is the brainchild of Wolfgang Langeder, CEO and designer of Utope clothing, working in conjunction with the stretchable circuits division of Fraunhofer IZM. The cotton jacket integrates stretchy 64 RGB-LED flexible displays across its front, shoulders and back. These displays create a pattern that changes based on readings from an integrated acceleration sensor and 3D gyroscope, allowing the clothing to match the movements of the rider. It can even sync with a smartphone and display a special pattern whenever there’s an incoming call.

Altervision 3D at The Brewery Artwalk (Los Angeles)
ALTERVISION 3D will be at The Brewery Spring Artwalk
Sat, March 31 & Sun, April 1, 2012
11am – 6pm
2100 N. Main Street, Los Angeles, CA 90031
The Altervision 3D Blacklight Experience blows people’s minds!
Even the best pictures or videos can’t prepare you for the amazement you will feel once inside A3D. Put on the glasses and enter our installation and you will immediately realize just how magical a place this is.
With butterflies fluttering out from an enchanted forest, dragons dueling, the clown’s mouth through which you just walked, the tracks on the floor that seem to float in midair, the word that comes to mind is WOW! Once inside, you are immersed with childlike amazement, in this fluorescent painted black light utopia. You find yourself reaching out to touch things that appear to be within reach as you experience the three dimensional art all around you – on the walls, the floor and the ceiling. Eventually, you exit through the stargate as you leave this vibrant world behind.
The A3D installation is the perfect addition to any special event looking for a unique, interactive experience for its guests. It appeals to both young and old, alike. Corporate events, VIP areas, music/art festivals, weddings and more, are the perfect settings for A3D to transform an event into an unforgettable experience. A3D can be set up indoors or outdoors and has a footprint of approximately 25’ x 25’. The size and artwork can be customized to meet your needs. All that’s required is a electrical source, the space for the installation and of course your guests, for us to add the magic of A3D to your special event.

Just for Laughs—Funny but Definitely Flimsy Souvenir From Famous World Heritage Site
The souvenir that is attracting attention is a kind of postcard sold by local vendors in Machu Picchu. And it’s no ordinary postcard. We interviewed a Japanese tourist who visited Machu Picchu to hear about it.
According to the tourist, “Local vendors at Machu Picchu suddenly come to sell you postcards on the street, but what makes these postcards different is that your picture is pasted on them.”
What is happeing here is that local vendors are arbitrarily taking pictures of visitors and pasting the pictures on regular postcards of Machu Picchu to sell to the unsuspecting visitors.

3D-printer with nanoscale precision (w/video)
Printing three dimensional objects with incredibly fine details is now possible using "two-photon lithography". With this technology, tiny structures on a nanometer scale can be fabricated. Researchers at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Vienna) have now made a major breakthrough in speeding up this printing technique: The high-precision-3D-printer at TU Vienna is orders of magnitude faster than similar devices (see video below). This opens up completely new areas of application, such as in medicine.
Setting a New World Record
The 3D printer uses a liquid resin, which is hardened at precisely the correct spots by a focused laser beam. The focal point of the laser beam is guided through the resin by movable mirrors and leaves behind a hardened line of solid polymer, just a few hundred nanometers wide. This fine resolution enables the creation of intricately structured sculptures...
