GoogleW has more tricks then Harry HoudiniW up their sleeves. Today they announced App Inventor, a drag and drop tool in which code n00bs can develop their own AndroidW apps. It is still in beta and while it sounds all great, it remains to been seen how powerful this tool will be in developing robust apps. Anyhow good effort Google! AppleW are you making notes?

Wow, in the video below you can watch the demolition with explosions of a stadium and have interactive panoramic view of the event. So you can change in realtime your point-of-view of the video with your mouse, while the explosions are happening. F#cking A!

Sander ter Braak, graduation student at HKU/KMT, Digital Media Design (Jeuhhh DMD-Terror Corps!!!), made this prototype of a 3D ground projection that keeps the right perpective when you walk around it. To see, is to believe!
In his own words:
For my research on augmented reality, I created this test to project a 3d object in the environment. The user will always see the model from the right perspective, using anamorphisis. Soon more info. The project explores projection of a 3d object in space dependant on viewer’s location. In the movie embeded below the first scene shows a simulation, the second a user view, the third from a different angle showing the anamorphosis.
Inspiring stuff with a high drool factor! Can’t wait for the finished project.

Kooaba, a Swiss image recognition start-up, yesterday announced their APIW. The concept is simple, you take a picture of an item (CD, book, filmposter, etc.) and Kooaba finds you al the information known about that item. With them now opening it up with an API with a database that has 10 million images. I see dead people, …ehm possibilities :).
