Just because you missed that awesome conference, doesn’t mean that you can’t still watch the lectures! This weekend we’re sharing an interesting talk by data artist, Jer Thorp at TEDxVancouver . In this talk, Jer shares his moving projects, from graphing an entire year’s news cycle, to mapping the way people share articles across the internet.
March 15, 2011 The call just opened for for all artists and developers in the open source graphics to submit presentation ideas for this year’s Libre Graphics Meeting (LGM) in Montreal from May 10th to 13th. To submit a talk proposal, add you idea to the page on the create wiki , or if presenting isn’t your thing, help the conference to remain free for participants by donating to the conference . http://inkscapetutorials.wordpress.com/

Research Image Composite Editor (ICE)

http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/um/redmond/groups/ivm/ICE/ What is Image Composite Editor? Microsoft Image Composite Editor is an advanced panoramic image stitcher. Given a set of overlapping photographs of a scene shot from a single camera location, the application creates a high-resolution panorama that seamlessly combines the original images. The stitched panorama can be shared with friends and viewed in 3D by uploading it to the Photosynth web site.
