Dot Matrix Printers Film Latest Radiohead Video

Posted by Bradley under Music, Technology

Okay, so not really.  They used lasers!  Friggin’ lasers.

Radiohead and a handful of geeks used several laser technologies to film their lastest video for “House of Cards“.  And they did it all without video or film of any kind.

Really interesting behind the scenes of the process at the link.  And the video too, of course.

And if you’re patient, play around with the data visualization flash application.  WOAH!

16 Projectors 1 Screen

Posted by Bradley under Technology

Mitsubishi is showing off how to display live 3D video without the need for those bulky, oh-so-non-fashionable glasses. 16 cameras hooked up via firewire to 8 computers transmit the captured video over Ethernet to 8 more computers which decode and feed the 16 projectors. Practical for home use? No. Awesome. Yes!
