Exploring the World from Microsoft and Flickr.com
This is a collaborative photo project from Flickr.com that really caught my eye. The clip above begins with talking about how photos these days can be made into extremely high resolutions to do ridiculous things, like putting a chapter per column and make an entire book a single photo.

WALL.E ON THE REAL!!!

Yet WALL.E attains a character that is generally…
Loch Nessie Monster ON THE REAL!!!
I found this by accident but I loved it. It relates to the use of LEDs and how it can be projected to a certain degree of realism. In this case, it focuses on how holograms are formed through the intertwining of certain degrees of light, forming an image possessing the illusion of perspective depth…
