Play
Submitted by christian on Thu, 03/18/2010 - 23:39I just want to share this beautiful short movie, from David Kaplan and Eric Zimmermann with you. I found it via nerdcore. Something between a brave new world - in terms of fear - and a great optimistical view on the possibilities of immersive technology and augmented reality resulting in the melting of borders of reality and virtuality. There is also a strong philosophical aspect of this movie, that it is all just a game and you have to be clear about yourself to play it right... I think. So, keep playing and try to "level up" as far as you can... for a better world and stuff, you know! :)
Very inspirational indeed. Enjoy!
WhereCampEU
Submitted by christian on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 01:10Last week I went to London to attend the WhereCampEU. It was amazing! I am still flashed, I kind of feel like floating (at least) a meter over ground. :-) Here is the great intro video of the conference, which Christopher presented at the WhereCampEU Kick off:

Some wise, intelligent and deeper toughts on AR and VR
Submitted by christian on Wed, 08/26/2009 - 12:07Hi all,
I want to share some media, which I got recently on two mailing lists I'm subscribed to, with you.
The first Video was posted by Puneet Kishor on Geowanking mailing list.
Bruce Sterling is pondering on AR. Really intelligent and very wise. Just some other view angles then just the technical ones on the topic. Very good!
learning computer graphics
Submitted by christian on Wed, 04/01/2009 - 14:39When you are learning for an exam (like I do in the moment), you have these moments when you can't make any sense of what you are reading. So you need to strain some other senses, best is to do something completely different to relax, but in the last time before the exam you (me at least ;)) don't even have the time to do something different, so you can relax by watching videos on the topic you are learning in the moment.
Here is what I found by a websearch. Not bad and I am sure you can find more by searching more deep.
The best videos I found are from Wolfgang Hürst.

Interesting thought on climate change
Submitted by christian on Sat, 01/03/2009 - 00:10I just read a very interesting article on telepolis.de:
-> http://www.heise.de/tp/r4/artikel/29/29276/1.html
It is an Interview with the future scientist Matthias Horx.
In the context of crisis entertainment - entertainment out of natural catastrophes, like seen on the mass media - the Interviewer asks, to what degree the climate change discussion is a type of "crisis entertainment".
