Penguin Books the latest publisher to jump aboard the very fast-rolling iPad bandwagon. They’ve bet heavily on the role of the iPad and its direct effect on the publishing industry and have made their feelings very well known with this video. I love the idea of allowing kids to interact with the new forms of media, but the iPad isn’t exactly the cheapest toy, that can be flung about like the good old fashioned book. Its interesting to see how future generations will be immersed in these technologies from such a young age, and it will be interesting to see how books take a back seat and become what vinyls are in todays digital music age.
This conceptual video is a corporate collaborative research project, Mag+, initiated by Bonnier R&D into the experience of reading magazines on handheld digital devices. It illustrates one possible vision for digital magazines in the near future.
They’ve nailed the user interface in my opinion. It’s simple, intuitive and extremely clever. Browsing between articles left to right, heating up to reveal contextual menus, love it! Read more about it here.
Mobile Mobile, a massive sculpture made of re-cycled mobile phones that plays Choir of the Bells when you tweet it. Mobile Mobile is a joyous seasonal story of “upcycling” using old phones and collaboration.
Great to see old mobile phones being brought back to life and not being dumped in landfills across the country. Beautiful work from the guys over at LBi.
A beautiful interactive installation by Jochen Winker and Stefan Kuzaj, using Processing and VVVV. The installation displays real-time graphics to create a graphical visualisation of how much water pollution a country is responsible for. I personally love the way they used a water basin to emphasize their point further.
