Interactive Window Concept made for the module Advanced Interface Design at Hyper Island hosted by North Kingdom. A window which makes it possible for the passers by to interact thanks to an infra-red camera.
Made by: Beatriz Areilza, Gustaf Engström gustafengstrom.se, Juliana Oliveira Silva, Lucas Lima luklima.com, Marcus Wallander lorem-ipsum.se. Music: Bonobo - Kiara. Shot with a RED ONE camera at 120fps in december 2010. Green screen: Pump Station Studio, pumpstation.se.

A Robbery Where You Decide The Outcome
Tweet
Inside a convenience store, two thugs announce the assault. Who will save the day: The nerd, The hot, Grandma, The fan or Kung fu master? It's your choice, your in control. My pick is Kung Fu Master, he's awesome.

Contact lenses will project images directly onto your eyeballs
Tweet
All those 3DTVs and virtual reality goggles are soon to be rendered obsolete by contact lenses with built-in LED arrays that can display images on top of your retinas, whether you want them to or not.
Researchers at the University of Washington have been working on extremely tiny and semi-transparent LEDs designed to be integrated into contact lenses. So far, they've managed to create red pixels and blue pixels, and when they can figure out green ones, they'll be able to make full color displays.
Despite being millimeters from your retinas, the images created by the lenses will be in perfect focus, and when the display is turned off, everything will be transparent. Since the lenses are inside your eyelids, though, you can't un-see anything that they decide to project, which is something that you'll have to consider when you're watching something especially scary or gross on them. Power will come from a beltpack that transmits electricity wirelessly to a resonating antenna in the lens itself, and data will be transmitted the same way so that you don't have to plug HDMI cables into your eye sockets.
In the meantime, we've already got eyeball-mounted wireless sensors for detecting things like blood glucose levels, so it's really just a matter of time before LEDs and their associated electronics get small enough and cheap enough that we can all afford to be enjoying visual overlays of stupid YouTube videos 24/7.

A Mystery: Why Can't We Walk Straight?
Tweet
Try as you might, you can't walk in a straight line without a visible guide point, like the Sun or a star. You might think you're walking straight, but as NPR's Robert Krulwich reports, a map of your route would reveal you are doomed to walk in circles. And that my friends, is a mystery.

EARTH: The Pale Blue Dot
Tweet
"In all of their brilliance, NASA seems to have forgotten to share their hopes and dreams in a way the public can relate to, leaving one of humanities grandest projects with terrible PR and massive funding cuts. I got frustrated with NASA and made this video. NASA is the most fascinating, adventurous, epic institution ever devised by human beings, and their media sucks. This piece contains readings from Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot". I have edited his words to tell this short narrative. The piano is self-composed." Michael Marantz

Huggies - "Soirée"

MassMarket worked with MJZ director Fredrik Bond to create this destructive and adorable spot for Huggies Diapers via JWT New York. This spot reminds me of Philips Carousel, it's a must see if you havent seen it before.
