Augmented Reality is nothing new, but till now it was mostly a nerdy webcam demo thing. But when you use a mobile phone like the iPhone, where you can move the camera and the display in one device, the user experience could really become enjoyable. Just think of all the possible applications with this technology. ARToolworks developed a version of the free ARToolKit (a software library for building Augmented Reality applications) for the iPhone. In this video they show us a preview, unfortunatly they only managed to get 10 frames per second. But maybe with some help from Apple they could boost the speed over 20 fps.

Warning, mute the sound of the video right away! Believe me!

If you buy the Raf Simons Zip Change Sneakers, you’ll get 2 pairs of shoes. Well actually not, you’ll get one rubber sole and 2 uppers which you can zip together. The idea is funny, but the sneakers look like … fugly and they even cost £499.00.

Oliver Bishop-Young is a graduate from Goldsmiths University in London. His Skip Waste project actually has 2 sides. One part is a website where people can submit the location of a skip and its contents, other people can search that website for items they could use. The second part are suggestions what you could do with an empty skip, the pool one is my favorite.

Fold Loud is a musical interface by JooYoun Paek.

Playing Fold Loud involves folding origami shapes to create soothing harmonic vocal sounds. Each fold is assigned to a different human vocal sound so that combinations of folds create harmonies. Users can fold multiple Fold Loud sheets together to produce a chorus of voices. Opened circuits made out of conductive fabric are visibly stitched onto the sheets of paper which creates a meta-technological aesthetic. When the sheets are folded along crease lines, a circuit is closed like a switch. Thus, the interface guides participants to use repetitive delicate hand gestures such as flipping, pushing and creasing. Fold Loud invites users to slow down and reflect on different physical senses by crafting paper into both geometric origami objects and harmonic music.

You can find a video on her website.
