Direct manipulation of video is one of the more uncanny HCI concepts I've ever seen. Instead of manipulating time with a traditional scrubber bar, the user can drag objects in the video across their path of movement. Nothing in the video actually changes, but the perception is that you can directly manipulate the objects in the video stream by pulling them around through time. There's a Windows application called DimP which implements this interface. When ...

Amazon has a nifty new video solution that allows you to embed product links based on what you’re talking about in videos you are hopefully making. At the end of the video, the featured products are then shown in a list with prices and ratings. It’s pretty straightforward and the video demo does a good job of explaining the new feature. Be warned that if you watch from 2:04 onwards, your eyes will bleed. Told ...

For eleven years, the Rock-afire Explosion was the animatronic house band for Showbiz Pizza Place restaurants. The musicians' story is a touching tale of technical expertise, marketing muscle, and, er, "concept unification." (See the Wikipedia page for more on that.) Chris Thrash is making a full-length documentary on the Rock-afire Explosion, and the new preview trailer is itself a must-see. Rock-afire Explosion trailer (YouTube, thanks COOP and Rodney Ascher!) UPDATE: Rodney just found a video ...

If you can forgive the fairly craptastic music, you'll just love this video of Google Earth mashed up with a hologram machine. This is real, and I want one very, very badly. By combining a 2D mid-air projection system and motion sensors, the device gives you a gesture-based interface for exploring the world. The term "badass" springs to mind. [UBiqWindow via GED via GEB]

La machine reçue était une bêta version, une version de travail, et j’ai bien travaillé dessus. Le plus difficile lorsque l’on se retrouve face à une telle machine, c’est de savoir par où commencer.

If you missed the first five minutes of The Dark Knight when it played in front of I Am Legend on IMAX last winter and couldn’t stomach the shaky cameraphone footage that went up on YouTube shortly after, well, you’re in luck. Because a slightly less crappy version went up on iKlipz, and you can watch it by clicking here - at least until Warner Bros. shuts it down. Does that sound like something you ...

Ecco la mia opinione: I video virali sono stronzate Divertenti quanto vi pare, ma sostanzialmente sono stronzate galattiche. Care aziende che decidete di spendere i vostri soldi in promozione sul web, quando qualcuno mette la parola “viral” dentro a qualcosa che vuole vendervi, alzatevi e lasciatelo li, a bollire nel suo brodo, perchè vi sta prendendo in giro. La viralità di un contenuto non la può, per definizione, decidere chi lo produce. Al massimo potrà ...

Het Westerpark in Amsterdam is deze week een concertterrein. Op woensdag 2 juli gaf R.E.M. een spetterend optreden. Vooral de snelle nummers van het nieuwe album Accelerate klonken verpletterend.

Kein Thema dürfte heute das Netz so beherrschen wie das Urteil in den USA, dass YouTube 12 Terabyte Logfile Daten an Viacom herausgeben muss. Viacom (u.a. MTV) will diese Daten als Beweismittel für Copyright-Verletzungen nutzen.
