List of tallest buildings in the world The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest building in the world since 2010. With a height of 829.8m, it is classified as a Megatall.[1] This article lists the world's tallest buildings, ranked by structural height (vertical elevation from the base to the highest architectural or integral structural element of the building);highest point on the building. The lists only include buildings that are completed or topped-out, andhave continuous occupiable floors. For lists that include non-building structures, see Ranking criteria and alternatives The non-profit international organization Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) was formed in 1969 and announces the title of "The World's Tallest Building" and sets the standards by which buildings are measured. In 1996, as a response to the dispute as to whether the Petronas Towers or the Sears Tower was taller, the council listed and ranked buildings in four categories: Tallest skyscrapers in the world Photo gallery Alternative measurements

ShadowPlay by Kyle McDonald (@kcimc) - Experimental interaction paradigm at YCAM ‘Shadowplay’ shows an experimental interaction paradigm built with the Projector Camera Toolkit, developed during Guest Research Project v.1 at YCAM Interlab by Kyle McDonald. The videos below demonstrate ‘shadowplay’ experiments, built around the idea of using two projectors that are perfectly aligned. The projectors display the inverse images of each other, so that without interference the screen appears white. When an object enters the space, the structure hidden in the projection is revealed in the shadows. The technical challenge of aligning the projections and calibrating the colors of the projection is solved with the Projector Camera Toolkit, using structured light scanning and some novel feedback-based calibration techniques. ProCamToolkit is a collection software and code for openFrameworksaimed at making high level projector-camera calibration moreaccessible. Built with openFrameworks. Project Page | Kyle McDonald
