Walking the Edit is an innovative system to “walk a movie” : your recorded walk will be translated into a movie through an iPhone app'.
It’s great that videos, pictures and other data can be geolocalized thus creating an ‘augmented space’. But we are left to wonder… how can we turn this abundance of information into a story? Can we build a narrative with all this geolocalized information? How can we make a visit to this augmented space a more coherent and enriching exp...

Stored Alive! is an interactive tutorial program that
lets you explore the ways in which temperature and relative humidity
affect the objects in your collection. It's based on environmental
analysis done with IPI's Climate Notebook
software, which, in turn, is built upon data from IPI's extensive
research into the relationship between storage conditions and the decay
of organic materials.

It is a well known fact that some of the most original moments in Beethoven's Ninth Symphony have been the result of printers' error. Also the Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara has reported that he has got some of his ideas when hitting a wrong piano key during composing. So it seems that live composers may use randomness or serendipity as a creativity tool. It is a kind of a paradox that computer music based on randomness has not been so successful. The Synestesia Software does no...

Template lives
Everybody knows and can see the templates we use
in our everyday life. It’s extremely hard to find something
unique, original and creative around. Even pro-web designers
use sometimes free templates. They’re now in the network space
everywhere. These acceptable patterns of behavior in the social
reality are moving of course in the social networks.
We have centuries of history developing human templates-patterns
of behavior protecting us from our natural need of fr...

The Emotiv EPOC
headset is the most advanced mass-produced consumer-grade EEG headset on
the market. It has 14 electrodes (as opposed to NeuroSky's
single-electrode and OCZ's three-electrode headsets) and it can also
detect head movement using a built-in gyroscope. The EPOC uses its
sensors to detect changes in electrical activity using EEG monitoring
techniques that let it detect facial gestures and estimate roughly
relative mood states.
Emotiv's intent with the EPOC is to...

Institute at Carnegie Mellon
University has made Skinput, a technology that appropriates the
human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as a
finger input surface : "In particular, we resolve the location of finger
taps on the arm and hand by analyzing mechanical vibrations that
propagate through the body. We collect these signals using a novel array
of sensors worn as an armband. This approac...
