Tokyo University create in-air motion interface for mobile devices – Cell Phones & Mobile Device Technology News & Updates Of all the touch and movement interfaces on the market it looks as though Microsoft may have the simplest solution with Project Natal . It does not require you hold any device like you have to with the Wii and you don’t cover the screen to register input as you have to with touchscreens. The boffins in Ishikawa Komuro Laboratory located at Tokyo University seem to have realized this and come up with their own advanced in-air interface, but for portable devices. DesignByMe : Home The original Design byMe vision was for a unique customization service, where consumers could design whatever they imagined on their computer, and buy the real model in their own LEGO box. Design byMe attracted several million people each year to build a huge range of amazing creations using the LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) software. Despite this success, the overall Design byMe experience has struggled to live up to the quality standards for a LEGO service. As a result, the LEGO® Design byME service was closed in January 2012.

Time-of-flight camera A time-of-flight camera (ToF camera) is a range imaging camera system that resolves distance based on the known speed of light, measuring the time-of-flight of a light signal between the camera and the subject for each point of the image. The time-of-flight camera is a class of scannerless LIDAR, in which the entire scene is captured with each laser or light pulse, as opposed to point-by-point with a laser beam such as in scanning LIDAR systems.[1] Time-of-flight camera products for civil applications began to emerge around 2000,[2] as the semiconductor processes became fast enough for such devices. The systems cover ranges of a few centimeters up to about 60 m.

Claus Meyer : Brød Denne opskrift på surdej er særligt udviklet til brug i privatkøkkenet. OBS! Denne her type surdej bruges mest for at fremme en fin mild syrlig smag, som giver brødet karakter, og ikke så meget for dens hæve-evner. Derfor benytter vi i de fleste af vores brødopskrifter en kombination af surdej og en meget lille mængde gær.

Joulies: Metal Beans Keep Your Coffee At Perfect Temp For Three Hours Good design solves problems. If some of those problems are the kind that only nitpicky coffee snobs have, so be it. Such is the case with Joulies, a Kickstarter-funded (or should I say super-funded?) The death of architecture - Architecture, Arts & Entertainment George Osborne's "gift" to enterprise, and Ms Reed's painfully dutiful response to it, highlights the fact that the architectural profession is riven by confusion. Are architects cultured designers or glorified triage surgeons working in towns and cities lacerated by architectural collateral damage caused by political and commercial expediency, rubber-stamped by planners? Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, thinks architects are conniving bread-heads.

Death by Architecture About Death By Architecture Death By Architecture (DBA) began in 1995 as the personal web page of Mario Cipresso, an undergraduate architecture student at the University of Illinois at Chicago. By 1997 Death By Architecture had become the preeminent site for architecture competition information on the internet. Joining with several other like-minded sites in Europe, DBA was a founding partner of the International Competition Network in 1998. Enjoying a solid presence on the net since those early days, Death By Architecture needed to grow beyond just one individual to truly realize its potential, to serve its loyal users and to pursue a more meaningful goal. After securing an all too critical grant from the LEF Foundation in northern California, the Los Angeles based interactive media design firm of Garden Digital was approached to begin this first of two phases.

But rain often enough. The paper is a public notice describing a planning application for some kind of ‘development’ somewhere in the vicinity. If it’s a significant development, and very close to your property, you may also get a notification in the post. Villa Håkansson-Tegman / Johan Sundberg Architects: Johan Sundberg Location: Höllviken, Sweden Collaborator: Mattias AndréassonLandscaping: Maria Arborgh Structural engineer: Laine Montelin, Tyréns Client: Håkansson-Tegman Family Builder: Lars Benjaminsson Project year: 2008 – 2009 Photographs: Kasper Dudzik Höllviken south of Malmö was originally a seaside resort, but the forested rows of summer houses are continuously being transformed into a carpet of permanent housing. The site is a somewhat complicated corner lot with roads to the north and west. The client is a middle-aged couple with children who have now left the household. They commissioned a modern and nature-oriented one story house where sensuous qualities were the most important parameters throughout the design process. The house is angled around an inner garden and, much like the Bergman Werntoft house, rests on the tradition of the Danish atrium house from the 60s and 70s.
