Dissertation Research. InStyle, Jaunt VR Target Fashion Audience With Virtual Reality Cover. LOS ANGELES, United States — As makers of virtual reality content get ready to enter the mass market next year, one company is hoping to appeal to a broader audience outside of the tech set by harnessing fashion magazine InStyle's young female demographic.
Jaunt VR, which creates 360-degree virtual reality experiences, teamed up with Time Inc's InStyle to film its November issue cover shoot with actress Drew Barrymore. The short film experience will be available to the magazine's subscribers and smartphone users on Thursday. InStyle's audience is "not the normal expected crowd people would think for VR," Scott Broock, Jaunt VR's vice president of content, told Reuters.

XOX - Emotional Technology Platform. Case Study: The Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase 2014 We worked with the leading global agency Saatchi & Saatchi to launch our XOX emotional technology platform.
Audience interaction plays a big part in this year’s New Directors Showcase 2014 (NDS), and in a world first 2,300 people in the audience will wear an XOX sensory wristband using a brand new emotional technology platform ‘XOX’ created by Studio XO’s sister company XOVIA Ltd. A Conversation With the Psychologist Behind 'Inside Out' Pixar has a proud tradition of taking things that are incapable of expressing human emotion—robots, toys, rats, cars—and imagining a world where they can, in fact, feel.
The studio's most recent effort, the box-office topping and critically acclaimed Inside Out, takes viewers inside the head of a young girl named Riley, imagining what it would be like if her feelings could feel. While Inside Out is ultimately an animated children's movie, the perfectionists at Pixar (which is owned by the Walt Disney Company) still took the task of personifying emotions very seriously. To ensure they translated complex psychological issues accurately and clearly, they turned to two of the leading minds in the study of emotions, Paul Ekman and Dacher Keltner. So take me to the beginning: How did you get involved with the making of Inside Out? I met [Inside Out director] Pete Docter at an Association for Psychological Science conference seven or eight years ago.
Self Knowledge Through NumbersQuantified Self. Are Wearables the Modern Path to Self-Awareness? Above the entrance of the Oracle of Delphi there was a famous inscription that translated as "Know Thyself.
" Introspection and the examination of the contents of one's thoughts became central in much of ancient Greek philosophy. Our modern word "dialectics" originates from Socrates' idea of "dialogue"; a conversation with one's inner self and beliefs, often facilitated by an outsider philosopher. The idea of striving for self-awareness has been at the core of much of oriental philosophy too: Buddhism is all about understanding one's self and thus becoming free of delusions. Textile & Apparel News Articles. Product Fitness 80 Exhibition by Muji, London – UK. A temporary exhibition at London’s Design Museum explores a unique premise: what would happen if we used 20 per cent less materials and energy to make products?
Now one year after the 11 March, 2011, earthquake and tsunami in Japan, its enduring impact is forcing us to reconsider the consumption of resources. Cult brand Muji explores this inquiry to inform a line of products that reconsider the way we approach product design. Gaze-activated dresses with eye-tracking technology by Ying Gao. Fashion designer Ying Gao has fabricated a pair of dresses that writhe around and light up when someone stares at them (+ movie).
"We use an eye-tracking system so the dresses move when a spectator is staring," Ying Gao told Dezeen. "[The system] can also turn off the lights, then the dresses illuminate. " The gaze-activated dresses are embedded with eye-tracking technology that responds to an observer's gaze by activating tiny motors to move parts of the dresses in mesmerising patterns. One dress is covered in tendrils of photo-luminescent thread that dangle from ruched fabric.
On the other, glow-in-the-dark threads form a base layer with fabric cut into ribbons loosely bunched over the top. Exhibit design. Pauline Gorelov Projects. Hyperstructure Plastic 07.12.2012 Caroline Hiernaux Natural Gas.
Silver blonde. Secrets of the Brain. Van Wedeen strokes his half-gray beard and leans toward his computer screen, scrolling through a cascade of files. We’re sitting in a windowless library, surrounded by speckled boxes of old letters, curling issues of scientific journals, and an old slide projector that no one has gotten around to throwing out. “It’ll take me a moment to locate your brain,” he says. On a hard drive Wedeen has stored hundreds of brains—exquisitely detailed 3-D images from monkeys, rats, and humans, including me. Wedeen has offered to take me on a journey through my own head. “We’ll hit all the tourist spots,” he promises, smiling. Rijksmusem x Etsy GUILD of '14 : MASHA REVA.

The first original content series and a new funding model come to BitTorrent Bundle.

Surfaces that use "hacked" bacteria to detect dirt or clean themselves. Buildings in the future could feature floors embedded with synthetic bacteria that eat dirt and clean your feet, according to this project by design student Tashia Tucker (+ slideshow).
Called Synthetic Biology: The Future of Adaptive Living Environments, the project explores how synthetic biology could be used in architecture to create smart surfaces impregnated with bacteria. "I think within the next 10 years we will start to see these biologically designed surfaces being developed in labs, and within the next 15-20 years being available to the public," Tucker told Dezeen. Tucker simulated ways that bacteria might perform tasks such as cleaning, changing the properties of surfaces according the users' needs or alerting humans to the presence of toxic substances for the project, which she developed during a course at the Design Futures Lab at Drexel University in Philadelphia. Here's a short project description: Synthetic Biology: The Future of Adaptive Living Environments.
Will Future Art Galleries Be On The Human Body? Anthony Antonellis is an internet-based artist, curator, quasi-cyborg, and creator of netartnet.net--an online directory for the “expanded netart universe”. His work often consists of gentle interventions into what we desire from our internet-mediated interactions. Recent works include Facebook Bliss, a “likes”, “messages”, and “friend requests” generator and #TriggerTreat, a personalized terrorism-related keyword producer that has the dual purpose of allowing the user to act on a secret desire to capture the NSA’s interest (aka to troll the NSA), while oversaturating the mechanisms of the domestic espionage machine.
