PAPERVISION3D

Created by Carlos Ulloa Matesanz, Ralph Hauwert, and John Grden. Papervision3D is a open-source 3D engine for flash, that allows developers to change the position, size and rotation of a sprite on its X, Y and Z coordinates.

The results and possibilities for this technology are truly amazing, a website is no-longer a flat canvas but can be transformed in to a rich 3d environment. Recent updates to the engine allows developers to uses triangle tessellation to distort textures and render complex objects in real 3D.

The most exciting area to Papervision3D is the ability to embed video into a 3D environment. Could this open-source technology transform the way established traditional medias allow consumers to view their content. Combing Papervision3D and a 360 degree camera can already achieve amazing immersive video allowing us to take control of the camera and become a character in the environment.

Oh no, I’m screwed.

There is something mezmerizing about TV Shopping. I don’t know if it’s the cheesiness of the hosts and demos or the fact that they manage to make indispensable any piece of junk with the help of charts and testimonials. It’s probably a combination of both that makes those shows so sticky that I now have in my kitchen an Aerogarden…

Now imagine a TV Shopping channel for hipster-wannabes. Online. That’s what the guys at droga5 are experimenting with HoneyShed. A bunch of very good-looking hosts do their best to make you laugh while selling some American Apparel underwear, DVDs, cosmetics…

HoneyShed is not an e-commerce website. They are more of an irreverent entertainment hub linking to sites where you can actually purchase the product featured, HoneyShed receiving a cut of the revenue.

The viewers (or shall I say shopper?) can watch the live stream or directly go to the archives sorted by channels (new this week, beauty, tech&toys, fun shit…), add items to their stash, chat live with other viewers, buy the music played in the show…

I hate to say it, but it is actually fun and addictive, the curated products rule, and, productivity-alert, you have an option to launch the show in a mini-player that will sit in a small corner of your screen, so that you’re always one-click away from a $19.99 Black&Decker table-vacuum. I know. But I’ll try to expense it. It’s for research after all!

My Bedroom 2.0

Chumby
Have you met my rabbit? It can tell me when I have new emails, read them out lout, play internet radios, etc. I thought that was cool.

Then I met Chumby. A true 21st century alarm clock, so much better than the previous one: It is completely open source, connects to my home network, has a wide touch screen and not only will it display weather forecasts, flickr pictures, my facebook status, and give me a few chuck norris facts; I can also customize it with my own widgets. All I need, is a little flash lite knowledge to write my own widgets.

Those new devices are slowly erasing the line between “being connected” and “being offline”. What took a computer yesterday, can now be done with an alarm clock and tomorrow with a fridge or a table.

Now I wonder, what smart services do we expect in the 5 minutes between alarm ringing and actually leaving bed?
