I’ve talked about FTIR Multitouch before, many times. Just found out this video which is damn cool presentation by Jeff Han on TED talks. His presentation as great as Steve Jobs in WWDF. Well, talent is talent, born to be presentable.

Wired Nextfest是除ars electronica之外每年”恨”到的media festival，近年對nextfest的熱情比ars electronica更旺盛，可能是ars electronica的作品每況愈下吧。
今年Nextfest有近來大熱，今年的Microwave也會展出的Khrono Projector, 作為分類the future of design最搶鏡的作品。the future of entertainment找來BrainBall和Ｌaptop Orchestra。The future of plays有Kick Ass Kung-fu。還有更多更多……..
總之恨去。
今年九月廿九至十月一。還有一個多月，希望中六合彩。

Make Magazine對於DIY電子的朋友不會陌生. 早前他們找了製作Teleo的MakingThings合作推出這個MAKE Controller Kit. 不過價錢略貴, 盛惠美金$149.99. 相對Processing的Wiring 和 Arduino, 甚至是Teleo(如只買block)都貴. 而且寫的是C. 不懂C的朋友絕對不會考慮吧! 還是Open Source的Processing user-friendly.

另外各方好友留意, GuLLDY將有Workshop講授Wiring和Ardiuno, 我們會買Ardiuno, 而Wiring則會自行製作. 想買Ardiuno的朋友可一同團購. 價錢和spec按此.

之前French May的show我用上了Pd和nds, 兩者溝通玩了少量effects. 這個Sonicarts 06的作品Fijuus 3d sound toy同樣玩了Pd, 不過他同時玩了Visual. 用了PS2的手掣control 3D的visual. 作者還用了QuakeIII, 將QuakeIII的data連到Pd, 就是q3apd這個project. 連Pixelsumo的Chris都湊熱鬧玩埋一份. 試試下一次演出可否一試這個玩意.

Mitubishi Research Lab – DiamonadTouch

DiamondTouch不多不少令人想起NYU Jeff Han的Muti-Touch Interaction Research. 不同之處在於Jeff Han的Multi-Touch用的是FTIR這個光學反射原理, 成本低卻準確. DiamondTouch採用的是微電壓的技術, 硬件成本高, 精確度也很高.
