Rainy Day Thoughts…

This morning I saw lots of umbrellas thrown away on streets. As those umbrellas looked so lonely I was thinking that what if I were an umbrella made by someone. I hope I was made with love so that I can have loving relationship with whoever needs my service. Also I would want to meet an owner who is willing to fix me when I’m broken by any chance. :)

James George and Alexander Porter came to Pensa’s Lunch and Learn event to talk about their really cool RGB+D project. The open source software combines the depth sensing camera of the XBOX Kinect with a HD DSLR camera to capture and visualize the world as mesmerizing wireframe forms. Go to their site to see their unique videos and download the software to make your own. They are currently raising money to finish CLOUDS, an interactive documentary that was made with the software.

Tower Optical Digital Viewer

The Tower Optical Digital Viewer is one of our latest efforts to create a new way of looking at our environments, both physically and temporally. We modified the internals of the classic Tower Optical viewer to become a versatile and customizable tool for displaying media. The new viewer can play videos, slideshows or interactive content to tell stories at public spaces, exhibits, tradeshows, retail, and anything else you need.

What makes the viewer truly unique is it’s potential for an interactive experience. For instance, you could interact with images, panning or tilting them by moving the viewer. You could control a remote camera with the viewer, allowing people to look in hard to reach areas, like the bottom of the Grand Canyon or next to a bird’s nest. You could play interactive games. Or you can view augmented reality content such as the view of a neighborhood with information about the stores and restaurants around you, or showing the plaza while overlaying how the view have changed over time.

The Tower Optical Digital Viewer bridges the past with the present and future. The iconic design brings a sense of nostalgia, while the added features create new experiences. The possibilities are endless. How would you like to use one? Let us know!
