Computers transform this woman from angel to demon

February 23, 2016 by Andrew Leave a Comment

This remarkable video is a demonstration from the tech company Intel. To showcase the power of their face tracking and mapping technologies they used model Nobumichi Asai as a canvas for some incredible projections.

Better still, Nobumichi Asai is more than just a face; she’s a creative and technical producer on the project.

I think that in this demonstration Asai transforms through a wide range of hypnotic faces, all the way from angel to demon.

Do you think we’ll ever see the day when we use holographic and projections on our bodies for jewellery or even for clothes?

Sponsored Video: Engery reporting for centralised survival

February 26, 2012 by Andrew Leave a Comment

What do you think the future will be like?

A question to wrestle with is whether governments will step up and start to take some serious action. A related question, a scarier question, is how bad will problems become before governments do take action.

I’m certain that technology will play a significant role in the future; both as a way into trouble and as a way out of trouble.

Sony, a technology leader, are reaching out to bloggers to encourage all of us to think about the future.

That video introduces four scenario concepts;

  • Hyper Innovation
  • Centralised Survival
  • Shared Ownership
  • Prosperity Redefined

Each of the scenarios is worthy of a deeper dive. There’s a clip in the FutureScapes video when a woman discusses getting extra credits for – well, the video below goes into the idea of snooping on your neighbours’ energy consumption in more detail.

The video is part of Sony’s Open Planet Ideas which we’ve written about before.

What do you think of this possible vision of the future? Would you watch and report your neighbours’ energy consumption if it was easy to do so, helped save the planet and earned you money?

The mystery of the alien doughnut clouds

April 5, 2011 by Andrew Leave a Comment

Radar screens used to track weather patterns have been seen to show giant doughnut sized clouds. The clouds are large enough to circle a small country and vanish as quickly as they appear.

The rings are actually created by the weather messing with the radar technology. The doughnuts occur on radars when snow melts in the atmosphere causing the radar signal to bounce back. The ring’s edge is actually the edge of the radar and the size of the circle in the middle determined by the angle at which the radar points at the sky.

The snow melt can also cause straight lines that run behind one another.

As can be expected, UFO watchers know a thing or two behind these odd radar patterns. Speaking to AOL News, Marc Dantonio of the Mutual UFO Network said;

That doughnut or ring is something called a melting circle, where snow melted and radar picks it up – it’s a very thick area that forms an anomalistic ring,’

“The radar only has a certain range out to which it can go — that’s the outer border of the doughnut. And the inner border of the doughnut is based on the angle that the radar is aiming in the sky.”

Isn’t that odd? Do you accept the “melting snow in the atmosphere” explanation or do you suspect modern radar is better than that?
