Amazing 'real time' video projection project.

Reminds us of the Future Human Digital Skins project by Jenny Lee Studio Aikiu and with Holition

RCA students re-invent 3D drawing:

"We think that new technologies, and in this case, augmented reality, should be used only when it makes sense for the user," they continued. "Designers are always looking for the best tools to effectively bring their ideas to life. We believe this new way of creation will revolutionise the way we, as designers, create."

Similar to Anarkik 3D but without haptic interface. AR, VR and real time converge for the future.

This Sleek Spiderman Spacesuit Could Take Astronauts To Mars

When humans goes to live on Mars, those 300-pound space suits are going to get old fast. The Biosuit, with its tight-fitting Spiderman look, could make exploring the red planet a bit sexier.

We think of 3-D printers as desktop machines, stagnant workhorses used to generate piecemeal shapes for humans to relocate in the real world. But a new, stunning piece of architecture by the Mediated Matter Group at MIT Media Lab brings all of those assumptions into question.

It’s called the Silk Pavilion, and it is what researchers call a “biological swarm approach to 3-D printing.” It is a beautiful structure constructed by 6,500 live silkworms, and may be the most epicly named piece of fabrication technology since the blowtorch.

The 'Crafted Glitch' has arrived. Finally, a designer has used digital manufacturing to make something look like a happy accident, with pre-engineered flaws and idiosyncrasies beguiling its sophisticated manufacturing.

Created by Italian designer Ferruccio Laviani's for furniture brand Fratelli Boffi, the Good Vibrations storage unit was carved from oak by a CNC machine.

The weirdest jewellery brand video we've seen so far, Je Voudrais by Maite Catti for Mawi- a surrealist alternate reality proposition.

Amazing to think the ''Digitizer'' pen we were using with 3D applications in 2004 basically did this.

Back from the digital detox eco- architecture retreat on the Isle of Skye...

“It was a fabulous night, and we had people bring their own Shapeways prints too which was excellent.

People were fascinated, and left feeling more empowered to order stuff from Shapeways after playing with the materials and seeing what’s possible. Yay!

From a rough head count, looked like we had almost 50 people turn up, hooray!”

This concrete looks ordinary enough but it’s actually bioconcrete - a new variation developed by the Delft Technical University which uses bacteria to repair itself.

Toy company WobbleWorks has launched a Kickstarter campaign today to try to fund the world’s first 3D printing pen, which will allow owners to draw objects that can then be picked up or sculpted into new three-dimensional objects. (via Kickstarter Launched For World’s First 3D Printing Pen)
