T(ether) – a Spatially- and Body-Aware Window for Collaborative Editing and Animation of 3D Virtual Objects

T(ether) is a novel spatially aware display that supports intuitive interaction with volumetric data.
The display acts as a window affording users a perspective view of three- dimensional data through tracking of head position and orientation. T(ether) creates a 1:1 mapping between real and virtual coordinate space allowing immersive exploration of the joint domain.

Our system creates a shared workspace in which co-located or remote users can collaborate in both the real and virtual worlds.

The system allows input through capacitive touch on the display and a motion-tracked glove. When placed behind the display, the user’s hand extends into the virtual world, enabling the user to interact with objects directly.

iRig Mix Mobile Mixer (for iPhone, iPod touch and iPad)

iRig™ MIX is the first mobile mixer for iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. iRig MIX offers the same controls you would expect from a professional DJ mixer (crossfader, cues, EQ and volume controls, etc.) in an ultra-compact mobile mixer that can be used with a huge variety of iOS DJ mixing and other apps. It is a complete DJ system for rehearsing, performing and recording.

The lightweight and slim design of the iRig MIX allows it to be easily carried in a regular iPad bag.

For the first time on any DJ mixer - iRig MIX can be used for mixing any type of audio source (coming from mp3 players, CD players, etc.) with an iOS device using automatic tempo matching and beat syncing. This is accomplished with X-Sync, a feature that works in combination with the DJ Rig free app from IK Multimedia that is included with iRig MIX.

iRig MIX also provides the perfect mixing solution for solo musicians or small ensembles that use one or more iOS devices to play live. It features an extra guitar/microphone input that facilitates processing with popular apps like AmpliTube and VocaLive or any other apps that offer real-time audio effects and processing. Its standard RCA output connectors provide direct connection to PA systems or powered speakers.

Siri Says The Best Phone Ever Is Not The iPhone

If you have an iPhone 4S, try this.

Launch Siri and ask “What’s the best cellphone ever”… and she will tell you that the Nokia Lumia 900 is the best.

The result is hilarious but seems like Windows Phone’s customer satisfaction scores have finally started to penetrate even Siri had to report that since she doesn’t lie.

Siri, if you didn’t know yet, it grabs answers that your ask everyday from WolframAlpha. And you can actually see the result on their website as well.
