Canon 7D with 1000fps
Jimlad
Ok, a 7D shoots with 60 fps. What made this 1000fps slowmotion possible? It’s a plugin called Twixtor. This is how RE:Vision Effects (the creator of this plugin) explains Twixtor:
Twixtor synthesizes unique new frames by warping and interpolating frames of the original sequence… employing RE:Vision’s proprietary tracking technology that calculates motion for each individual pixel.
Twixtor is compatible with Final Cut Pro, After Effects, Adobe Premiere and several others. The video!

Sync your TV show content on your iPad through audio
SanderElastique
The people at ABC (American Broadcasting CompanyW) and The Nielsen CompanyW have come up with a smart solution to synchronize content from your TV to your iPad so you can use the latter one as a true second screen.
By using some kind of audio fingerprinting, the ABC serie My Generation sync’s to the My Generation iPad app, providing the user with extra (interactive) content about the show, while watching the show.
I think this technology could get very interesting in the not to distant future.

panoptICONS - An Introduction
Niekname
panoptICONS Utrecht 2010 from Helden on Vimeo.
“panoptICONS addresses the fact that we are constantly being watched by surveillance cameras in city centres. The surveillance camera seems to have become a real pest that feeds on our privacy. To represent this, camera birds – city birds with cameras instead of heads – were placed throughout the city centre of Utrecht where they feed on the presence of people. In addition, a camera bird in captivity was displayed to show the feeding process and to make the everyday breach of our privacy more personal and tangible.”
