T-Shirt Wars
02/09/10 - Pretty Cool
“We changed shirts over 100 times each, taking individual pictures of each unique shirt. The designs on the shirts are not photoshopped. They are real shirts for each frame of animation. The video was exported at 30fps, while the T-shirt animation moves at 6fps (with a few exceptions where it moves faster) So, for each shirt, we took 5 pictures, so the animation of us (Rhett&Link) moves at 30fps, but the T-shirt animations move a bit slower. There are a few places where the motion seems so smooth that it looks like video. That’s because, in those parts, there was no changing in T-shirts, and Joe used burst mode to capture the frames, making it look very smooth.” — Rhett & Link

The Scentisizer
02/09/10 - Pretty Cool
“Allows for the orchestration and spatial deployment of complex fragrances by giving precise control over the constitution and diffusion of scent accords in dynamic compositions. A tangible interface combines haptic and graphic features for managing an array of sixty-four scent dispensers that maps a wide-ranging olfactory field. Users can manipulate individual scent containers, much like organ stops, to compose and time an accord
in a direct and intuitive fashion. They can also control them with greater complexity and precision by means
of a digital graphic user interface that allows for multi-channeled sequencing and modulation of scent tones
and dynamics.” w/ photo + video
The Loops Bench
02/09/10 - Pretty Cool
“Loops was designed to fill a void in today’s market – knock down furniture that appears to be a one-off piece of art. Inspired by bungee jumping, Loops was ergonomically tested to provide form and function with an aesthetic made from 2/8 rubber cordstock, 1/2 in PETG plastic and maple wood. The piece was created to fit inside a UPS shipping box.” w/ photos
Top 7 Failed Futures Of Gaming
02/09/10 - Top Lists
“Sometimes it works out (thank you, online gaming and polygonal graphics), but sometimes, despite the best efforts of developers to shape the future of how we play, the idea falls straight onto its arse and doesn’t get back up. Somewhere, in some divergent parallel reality, these ideas rule the games industry. In this one, they were just crap.” w/ photos
