Immersive Cocoon // Step Into The Future. Directed & 3D CG by Oliver Zeller, Video Courtesy of I-Cocoon The world of interfaces continues to evolve and surprise us. We still think of it as something we can hold, fold and place in our bag to carry anywhere. What if you can be part of an intuitive and holistic experience where your interface is not reduced to a mouse-click or a two dimensional tablet screen. Welcome to the Immersive Cocoon, a surround display dome with sophisticated motion sensor technology that inspired the technology depicted in 'Minority Report'. Now your body becomes the interface, as you are enveloped and your body movement becomes part of this digital environment to make our everyday lives more enjoyable, at least that is what this conceptual project tries to explore.

It is a skill to do a good solder joint, it comes with LOTS of practice. so most people who rarely do it will ever get good at it. Bingo. Of course, part of the issue is having a soldering iron at the right temp with a properly tinned tip. Newbies aren't using soldering stations but a cheap iron they got at rat shack (You have questions? We have deer-in-the-headlights... erm... answers!). I don't expect to ever master tricky stuff like smts or even multilayer pcbs so I'm not much better then a newbie, anyway - and I totally suck at sweating pipe joints. Ah, well... SMT is actually a bit better than through-hole once you get the hang of it. Gizmodo - The Gadget Guide.
Brilliant iPhone Case From Kickstarter Finds a Home at Logitech. The TidyTilt has to be one of the most clever iPhone cases we've ever seen. Similar to the iPad Smart Cover, the magnetic TidyTilt folds over to act as a stand for your iPhone. And since it's magnetic, you can even use it to slap your iPhone on the fridge. Lots of other people liked the TidyTilt, too, apparently, since the Kickstarter project received more than $200,000 in donations when it only asked for $10,000. Logitech took note of its success and decided to snap up the innovative case and designers behind it. "They were in their last year of design school, and it was their last project," Logitech CEO Bracken Darrell told Mashable. "We liked it, and it's an interesting way for us to experiment in the space. " The space Darrell is referring to is smartphone cases. Logitech will offer the TidyTilt for the iPhone 5 only. Along with the TidyTilt, Logitech also gets TT Labs' JustMount magnetic organizer — essentially a small, wall-mounted magnet.
