Yeah; this is an advert. Yeah; this is an other example of 3D projection mapping. Trust me – it’s worth it. This is projection mapping with a twist and the next two minutes will fly by. I strongly suspect you’ll be impressed. Somewhere in Hyundai’s marketing team there someone is smiling smuggly. They have every […]
Bullet time with 24 digital cameras
I still think the Matrix’s bullet time sequences are pretty cool. I know it’s old hat these days but that doesn’t stop me enoying it. If you have 24 digital cameras and a clever timing system then you can produce your own funky bullet time video. That’s exactly what Claudio Giambusso, Alice Stefani and Ivan […]
A record year for London’s Comic Con?
The London Comic Con, which is all Green Lantern this year, looks like it’s going to be busy. MCM Expo, who organise and run the eent, have released the advance ticket sales data and it shows that 15,000 tickets have been bought in advanced. That’s the highest ever. Demand is expected to hit 60, 000 […]
Spiky! Thorn dice go viral!
This set of thorn dice aren’t cheap. Prices start at about $30. That’s certainly not putting off the window shoppers though. At the time of writing the set has had over 3,000 Facebook Likes and over 98,000 views. It’s a fantastic advert for Shapeways which I hadn’t heard of before. Do you imagine there are […]

Paul Miley, MCM Expo partner, said; This is another in an incredible long line of firsts for the MCM Expo and we are proud to […]
Pac-man toilet
This looks like a Pac-man toilet to me. Yeah, I’m aware that we don’t see Pac-man anywhere in the actual design – perhaps that’s due to legal reasons – but who else uses a toilet like this? A ghost inspired by Pac-man toilet? Nope. I think not. This is the Pac-man toilet. Just as this […]
Samsung’s Galaxy Ace goes Super Slow-Motion Motion
The creative talents at work helping Samsung promote their Android range have come up with another video. It’s a fun video because you get to see the general look of puzzlement from the curious onlooks. That’s always a bonus. This video is to promote the Galaxy Ace. The phone runs Android 2.2, 150MB + 2GB […]
Brain-powered steampunk mouse
I wonder how many people will see a tweet that says “Brain-powered steampunk mouse”, decide to click and find themselves blinking at this odd and slightly disturbing contraption. It’s a brain-powered steampunk mouse, they’ll think, as if the clue wasn’t in the title of the post. British designer Peter Balch is to “thank” for this […]
Little Bobby Tables versus the Census
Here in the UK we’ve just had the census. It’s illegal not to fill it out and there’s a £1,000 fine if you fail to do so. The geek story around the census of yester-years is that enough people put “Jedi” down as their religion that the UK would have to recognise Jedi as an […]
