HERE IT IS: THE FIRST WEDDING PROPOSAL IN VIRTUAL REALITY

Kelly Tortorice was already having a pretty special day: unlike the rest of us, she was at Valve’s Headquarters in Bellevue, WA, testing out some pretty nifty unreleased virtual reality technology. But in between painting with fire, exploring the Alps, and wandering through an sunken ship, something appeared out of the digital ether: a big ol’ fairy tail ring. 

She reached out and grabbed it, and when she took off her VR headset, the virtual jewelry became a very real engagement ring.

“ The good thing about robots is that they do what you tell them to do. And, the bad thing about robots is that they do what you tell them to do.” 

Thymio was created to introduce kids to robotics, programming, and data. I use it in my everyday life in France with kids in class, and I’m always amazed how efficient it is. Not very surprising after all, it was designed for it. Kids understand that machines are directed by programs that tell them what to do, that anyone can actually create its own program to tell the machine what to do. They start to understand sensors, actuators, and see their potential. They actually program it, with a visual programming language interface, and even understand the ugly textual code that’s hiding behind their pretty imaged program.

But what’s really cool with Thymio, is that you can do about anything with it. You can be 10 or 80, Swiss or Australian, an engineer or an artist, a nerd or a princess, and still find something to do with it.

Long live Thymio !

Soundhunters is a killer documentary on Arte.

“

The world is an infinite musical instrument. This is the prevailing idea across the interactive documentary Soundhunters. And it doesn't mean in the way as I understood it in my college days, drumming out beats onto desk corners with my fingers; it's less deliberate than that. The idea is to listen intently to the everyday sounds around you, record them, and then bring them together to create a musical tapestry from natural noise. "Today, every sound can be recorded, hijacked, manipulated and reinvented into an original musical creation. That is how a soundhunter works," reads the project's documentation.

City-Like Spheres - Paintings by Sashie Masakatsu

Sashie Masakatsu  was born in 1974 in Kanazawa, Japan, where he is still active today. Most of his work consists of oil paintings on canvas picturing the recurrent motif of a spherical town floating above piles of rubble. These remains primarily symbolize the scrap inherent to modernism and consumer society, as well as the collapse of the everyday life caused by wars and natural disasters via

Once you look at the Facebook page of the artist, you should also look to us . Welcome!

A thin, rounded exoskeletal shell lets this robot roll and fit its thin body through small gaps, just like a cockroach. It’s cuter than Wall-E, right?
