Augmented Reality Brings 3D Street Art To Life [Video] Artist Leon Keer has worked on a large number of 3D street paintings in the last couple of years at events around the world.

As these street paintings have to be viewed from the right vantage point, he has been looking for ways to create a bigger visual impact for the spectators and add information. On Lost At E Minor, he writes that his solution is augmented reality with new object recognition technologies.

Simple Surfaces Transformed Into Touchscreens [Video] Fujitsu, the world’s third largest IT products and services provider, is taking a new approach in the endeavor to bridge the gap between the digital and analog worlds by developing a user interface that allows for direct digital interaction with physical items like paper.

FingerLink effectively turns whatever surface it’s on into a touchscreen and allows the user to select and digitize elements of any documents in its range using only your fingertips. Consisting of a fairly standard projector and a low-res webcam, the technology superimposes an interactive skin on the surface in front of it by first mapping out the area and measuring the borders of real world objects, such as a book, or several individual notes.

FingerLink is then able to detect individual fingers, allowing the user to trace across the document and perform a variety of actions like selecting images or copying text. The video below, from DigInfo News, shows the technology in action: 3D Printer Creates Models Of The Music It Plays [Video] A 3D printer has been hacked to play music from Beethoven and Mozart, along with other classical composers.

Not only can the device play these tracks – it can also print out a physical representation of them. The stepper motors that control movement can be run at different speeds, and it’s this speed that determines the pitch of a sound, resulting in the creation of music. There are three motors, each representing a different track. One of which does most of the work, while the other two are responsible for the height of what’s being printed.

Bulletproof Fashion Even Extends Into Kids Range. Moldable Alloy Will Make Braille Smartphone A Reality. Some objectives that come to mind when discussing the purpose of technology are making life easier, making information more accessible, and making society more inclusive. Presenting the world’s first Braille smartphone: Designed by Sumit Dagar, a 2011 TED Fellow and a graduate of the National Institute of Design in India, the new touch screen smartphone is being created specifically for people who are visually impaired.

Yet unnamed, the phone is the culmination of three years of work by Dagar and his team, which is currently collaborating with IIT Delhi on a prototype. The ‘Braille smartphone’ works with the assistance of shape-memory alloy technology. Shape-memory alloy is a metal that can return to its original shape after being deformed, which allows it to expand and contract to form bumps and ridges. While current voice recognition operations like Siri offer considerable assistance for visually and otherwise impaired users, this new smartphone goes above and beyond.
