Eidos Is Futuristic Headgear That Enhances Your Senses. What if you could fine-tune your senses?
Tim Bouckley, Millie-Clive Smith, Mi Eun Kim and Yuta Sugaware of Royal College of Art and Imperial College London found that “while we experience the world as many overlapping signals, we can use technology to first isolate and then amplify the one we want.” This technology is Eidos, two pieces of experimental equipment that selectively enhance vision and hearing by activating hidden powers of perception. Inspired by photography and filmmaking, Eidos Vision enhances the way we see motion, achieving a similar effect to long-exposure photography but for live experience. A camera sits on a head-mounted display sending captured video to customized processing software, which then displays the altered image for the user in real time.
By detecting and overlaying movement, it allows the user to see traces and patterns otherwise hidden to the naked eye. Eidos Audio allows for selective hearing. Experience The World In Slow Motion With This Head-Mounted Device. The Decelerator Helmet - A slow motion for Real Life from Lorenz Potthast on Vimeo.
Life moving too fast for you? Need an experimental piece of headwear that will allow you to see the world in slowmo? Then look no further than The Decelerator Helmet, from design student Lorenz Potthast, which might make you look like a member of Daft Punk, but it’ll also chill the world out, man. Joining a growing line of avant-garde headwear that can alter reality—like the Hyper(reality) helmet or the Substitutional Reality system—this comes equipped with a camera attached to a computer which records what’s going on in the outside world then takes it down a notch for you. FUNÉRAILLES – Pleureuse, un métier en voie de disparition. Lui Jun-Lin en pleine performance.
Liu Jun-Lin est la pleureuse professionnelle la plus connue de Taïwan. Mais le métier que sa famille exerce de mère en fille est en voie de d'extinction, menacé par la crise et la disparition progressive des grosses cérémonies au profit de processions plus simples. Dans le passé, raconte Liu Jun-Lin à la BBC, les filles quittaient le domicile familial pour aller travailler et pouvaient rarement retourner chez elles pour enterrer leurs proches.
Le business des "filles filiales", embauchées le temps de la cérémonie pour remplacer les "vraies" filles, est alors né. Les enterrements taïwanais sont souvent très élaborés. Wearable Computing. Brain Computer Interfaces Inch Closer to Mainstream. Cadeau CreativeMuse, a lightweight, wireless headband, can engage with computers, iPads and smartphones.
Last week, engineers sniffing around the programming code for Google Glass found hidden examples of ways that people might interact with the wearable computers without having to say a word. Among them, a user could nod to turn the glasses on or off. A single wink might tell the glasses to take a picture. But don’t expect these gestures to be necessary for long. Soon, we might interact with our smartphones and computers simply by using our minds. Researchers in Samsung’s Emerging Technology Lab are testing tablets that can be controlled by your brain, using a cap that resembles a ski hat studded with monitoring electrodes, the MIT Technology Review, the science and technology journal of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, reported this month. Le futur des « Wearable Technology » se situera entre l’humain, la mode, les technologies et le design. Fashionable Technology by Sabine Seymour. Wearable technology including Google Glass, Up wristband and "iWatch"
Your Body Does Not Want to Be an Interface. Interactive Dress Becomes Transparent With A Combination Of Technology And Intimacy. Wearable technology. One of the indirect benefits of engaging in heavy lifelogging is the new need and want to do creative things.
Who doesn’t like to review a colorful life in retrospect? While you can spend money to take your entire family on a fancy vacation to create wonderful memories that you can journal about, you could also try doing some interesting activities at home. Here’s how Angie Keiser and her fashion-forward 4-year-old daughter, Mayhem (above), has done it: gather a few pieces of construction paper, scissors and tape, and you’re all ready to go! With an exception of the more complicated gowns, which can take up to four hours, Keiser and her little daughter work together for an average of 5-10 minutes to make dresses like this one inspired by Minnie Mouse.
