It’s no secret we like good looking thing. We also like music and good looking thing combined. This video is an example what can be achieved with some creative coding. Wonderful hand drawn audio responsive video exploration, as the author describes this piece of work.
The previous post also contained Iron Man. This video is for de upcoming movie as a promotional action. Really worked out well, the music and visuals are perfectly synched to each other. One of the best projection mapping we have seen so far.
We have already shown a example of how magazines can turn out on the iPad. So here is a bit more worked out version of the format. Hence part 2 of Future of Magazines.
The iPad hype is still there. In the US people can actually buy and use it, some innovators in Europe got one imported. Here at contain.r we’re a bit skeptical about the iPad. When it comes to magazines we just like regular old print. With a the feel and smell of paper isn’t something you can easily reproduce on a digital touch screen. Nevertheless it’s quite interesting how you can up a new format for a new device. This video explains clearly how you can make the best use of the iPad, to create a new kind of format for a digital magazine.
Practical use of video mapping. People can redesign the color and texture of the kitchen via a touch interface. Using two HD-beamers the kitchen changes in the desired settings.

Besides that their approach is very useful and effective to the creative industry we love their products like Action Method and ‘The 99% conference’ too. Today we bought the book, which gives very clear and powerful insides on well…making ideas happen. We are quit curious what unfolds…
While checking out some portfolio’s there can be some quite surprising stuff. Like this work by insects. Using the technical capabilities of openFrameworks the insects take control of the canvas. This work is executed over at Edhv, check out their work http://www.edhv.nl/
Creative coder Theo Watson has made a nice little application which allows you to auto post smiley’s. With the webcam the application detects if you are smiling. When it does, it posts your smiley in any text field, for example your email or Skype. So no more fake smiley’s when you’re in a email/chat conversation, using this app makes your smiley authentic and genuine.
