VR Head Tracking Via Wii Remote

Yet another computer interaction hack from Johnny Lee using the Wii Remote, but this one takes the cake. Turn any standard display into a virtual 3D window.

Conversation Clock

Microphones record an ongoing conversation, graphing the audio in concentric rings, differentiating voices by color. The further inward the rings, the further back in the conversation. Patterns reveal themselves such as individual people not speaking, interrupting, dominating, etc. Arguments and group silences become immediately tangible. (…)

Universcale

“an interactive & quite extensive size comparison of the perception of our universe, starting from a proton (1 femtometer) over to a hydrogen atom (100 picometers), a protein nanometer (10 nanometer), & a red blood cell (7-8 micrometer), to the moon (3,764km), a nebula (30 light years), & the outer limits of our universe (13,7 billion light years).”

His passion for visualizing data that thus far resides in a more nebulous region of global consciousness is inspiring.

9rules Updates

In case you haven’t seen/heard Mike Rundle and Paul Scrivens released a redesigned 9rules site today and it’s more or less off the chain. And that phrase is more or less stuck in the 90s. Codenamed “Ali” it’s the 5th version of the blog community’s portal.

Perceptive Pixel

Some new video of Jeff Han’s more recent work with multi-touch interfaces.
