crimes sounds (iOS app), my social computing proposal is now available in itunes:

Crime Sounds gives you a sense of crime around your current location by enhancing your hearing with a cinematic “soundscape”. All crimes within a range of 50 meters are used to generate a specific soundtrack. The volume of four different instruments is controlled by the category and the amount of crimes within the close range, all other crimes are muted. Crime Sounds accesses all crime data published by the UK Police forces for England and Wales. 

Headphones recommended.

Solar Sinter Project

In a world increasingly concerned with questions of energy production and raw material shortages, this project explores the potential of desert manufacturing, where energy and material occur in abundance.

In this experiment sunlight and sand are used as raw energy and material to produce glass objects using a 3D printing process, that combines natural energy and material with high-tech production technology.

Paper.js

Paper.js — The Swiss Army Knife of Vector Graphics Scripting.

Paper.js is an open source vector graphics scripting framework that runs on top of the HTML5 Canvas. It offers a clean Scene Graph / Document Object Model and a lot of powerful functionality to create and work with vector graphics and bezier curves, all neatly wrapped up in a well designed, consistent and clean programming interface.

Paper.js is based on and largely compatible with Scriptographer, a scripting environment for Adobe Illustrator with an active community of scripters and more than 10 years of development.
