A not-so-still interactive gallery piece by Scott Garner, featuring a motion-sensitive frame on a rotating mount:

Years ago I had the idea of a still life painting that wasn’t so still, but could never quite wrap my head around how to build it. After various experiments and explorations, I settled on Unity 3D as the ideal tool to make it happen.

On the hardware side is a custom-framed television connected to a rotating mount from Ergomart. Attached to the back of the television is a spatial sensor from Phidgets, makers of fine USB sensors. On the software side is a simple C application to communicate with the sensor and feed the data to a Unity 3D scene. The scene itself consists of a camera tied to the sensor data with all lights and objects parented to it so they rotate in unison.

The return of a Nike favorite:

The first shoe to incorporate the Nike Air system, conceived by aerospace engineer Frank Rudy and developed with Nike as from 1977. Two research teams had secretly been working in the New Hampshire factories to solve various problems related with the insertion of compressed air in the intersole: the air capsule had to be stable and without leaks, which implied rethinking the whole production cycle for the application of that particular technology. Those efforts were repaid by the huge success of the first shoes to feature that cushioning system, the Tailwind. Athletes considered them a revolutionary product: many testers even refused to hand back the shoes once they’d completed their trials.

On sale soon at select Nike retailers. More pictures here.
