Augmented Book Prototype

Project from Convivial Studio is a publication which displays augmented animated content through a projector, and have produced an Instructibles page to show how you can make one yourself:

This tutorial is for an augmented reality book using a Kinect 360 and a projector. The Kinect is tracking the position of the book via its camera, so you can move it around and the projection will follow the motion of the book. You can for example project 3D elements that will appear complete with shadows and will be able to rotate and change shape, colour, texture.

We always thought augmented reality to be a great technology however it is always required to experience it while looking through a device. We wanted to try to use it in combination with projection-mapping to create a seamless and magical experience.

A hundred and eleven years ago, Orville Wright, with the help of his brother Wilbur, piloted the first airplane. The brothers, who began experimenting with flight in 1896, were careful to document their trials.

Another animated illustration for Wired Italia. This accompanied a column about AI, specifically the question of how or if an intelligent machine could be told apart from a human. The text references the scene early in Blade Runner where a suspected replicant is questioned using the Voight-Kampff device so I drew inspiration from that, hopefully not too directly!

Grandmas getting auto-tagged ‘Grandmaster Flash’

A tumblr is documenting a widespread problem where grandparents using Facebook often get the tag recommendation ‘Grandmaster Flash’ when they type ‘Grandma’ into a FB status. The confused elderly people often don’t know what they are doing wrong, and in most cases don’t know who Grandmaster Flash is. One grandma then messages the hip-hop icon with the FB post ‘I didn’t mean to hit the grandmaster flash whatever that is’.
