Touch Vision Interface | Labs | Teehan+Lax

Touch Vision Interface | Labs | Teehan+Lax 

I can still recall the first time I saw an Augmented Reality demo. There was a sense of wonderment from the illusion of 3D models living within the video feed. Of course, the real magic was the fact that the application was not only viewing its surrounding environment, but also understanding it. AR has proven to be an incredible tool for enhancing perception of the real world. Despite this, I’ve al… Read more..

SQUARISM » Lego mount for Arduino by Chris Dillon 

I got to thinking (that’s another story) about the old Technics set that I had when I was a kid and how useful it would be if I could tear down and build things without having to hacksaw stuff (i.e. like with the Microrax stuff). We had major flooding recently (after an earthquake and a hurricane) and the closed roads funneled me to a toy store. Was this a sign? I’m not sure… Read more..
