E-Traces: Ballet Slippers That Make Drawings From The Dancer’s Movements
If you’re like me, then you may have been accused of dispensing some questionable moves in the vicinity of the dance floor. I’ve always maintained that my critics simply couldn’t grasp the subtlety of my particular style of physical expression, and now I just may have a means of illustrating my point with an ingenious piece of wearable electronics by designer Lesia Trubat González called E-Traces. The concept of Electronic Traces is based on capturing dance movements and transforming them into visual sensations through the use of new technologies. To do this we focused on the ballet shoes themselves, which through the contact with the ground, and thanks to Lilypad Arduino technology, record the pressure and movement of the dancer’s feet and send a signal to an electronic device. A special application will then allow us to show this data graphically and even customize it to suit each user, through the different functions of this app. [via Prosthetic Knowledge]

NASA Posts a Huge Library of Space Sounds, And You're Free To Use Them
Space is the place. Again. And SoundCloud is now a place you can find sounds from the US government space agency, NASA. Many of these sounds were available before; I’ve actually used a number of them in my own music. Another thing: you’re free to use all of these sounds as you wish, because NASA’s own audio isn’t copyrighted. Let the space remixing begin. European Space Agency, your move. Update: ESA has started posting downloadable sounds on SoundCloud! Have you made music with space sounds? More Sounds Want more? It’s slower to browse, but there’s an even bigger library on Archive.org. NASA Audio Collection They’re all marked public domain (which is almost certainly the correct license for the above, not Non-Commercial Creative Commons). It gets weird. NASA also has a small page of sounds that seems to be the basis of the above, but the Archive.org collection is bigger. The University of Iowa has a selection of space sounds:Space Audio Comments 1. 2.

Dances With Google Glass | Carla Escoda
In June 2013, Google launched a competition on Twitter soliciting bids from people interested in beta-testing its latest foray into wearable high tech. Since 'beta-tester' conjures up visions of bearded geeks in hoodies glued to their Retina displays, some marketing genius at Google coined the term 'Google Glass Explorers' and put a snapshot of a dusky model with pouty lips, a tousled mane, and a sleek band of titanium on her forehead, on the home page of Glass. (Photo: Reuters) The world was invited to pitch its ideas to Google, appended to the hashtag #IfIHadGlass. The winners would have to pony up $1,500 for the privilege of membership in a highly exclusive club of early adopters, but were expected to drive everyone else mad with envy. A year later, several thousand Google Glass Explorers find themselves roaming the earth, muttering "OK, Glass" and tapping their temples vigorously. Does it matter whether the masses think Glass looks dorky?
