3D imaging technology has in recent times created a lot of buzz. Movie makers (e.g. Paycheck) have extensively experimented with people’s fascination for this seemingly impractical (yet not far-fetched) idea of projecting real-life situations via 3D imaging media. The latest development in this field of science is the LED Cube. Reports suggest that the Cube uses video as the input, reconstructs the original image and displays it in the form of flashing LED bulbs. So, what’s the big deal? Well, scientists believe that the LED Cube is a functional prototype for a 3D display unit. Going forward, the creators would replace LEDs with nanotechnology, wherein enclosed light emitters display 3D images. Seekway, a Chinese manufacturer, has also come up with its own version of the 3D Cube. The video below offers a live demo of their product.

Ever wondered if you can manipulate the abstract images forming inside your head? A human brain, they say, is very powerful and it is close to impossible to realize its true potential. However, ongoing research programmes suggest that altered states of consciousness can be achieved with the help of devices popularly known as Mind Machines. These gadgets alter the frequency of your brainwaves, thus offering a meditative experience. Russian-made Photosonix InnerPulse has been designed on the same lines. Just that this gadget has been specifically built for respiratory Gymnastic classes. 10 built-in programmes offer relaxation, meditation, sleeping, training, rejuvenation, creativity, entertainment, synchronized breathing and other special purpose programmes. Users can select from each of these sessions and apply them individually. InnerPulse functions within the frequency range 1/4 to 42 Hz.

With technology growing at a pace that it is the philosophical belief that ‘Reality is nothing more than mere perception’ is becoming all the more true. With Cg technology evolving and intertwining with the available Augmented Technology we are creating a virtual world in a real world that cannot be distinguished separately just by the mere sense of vision. Illusion has never ever been more real and the non-existent has never before been so present!

We have created amazing fuss and plenty of intrigue about Mars and even as the Red Planet is still being explored, NASA has decided that it will try and get close to the sun and do that in seething hot conditions which would surely put to test anything and everything man has designed so far. The temptation seems to be too much for NASA to resist as the claim that they will try and explore outer parts of the Sun by 2015 or sometime beyond that!

Call them sci-fi robots, monsters, devils or ugly ‘Star Wars’ prisoners; Marque Cornblatt’s artworks have capability to send shivers down the spine especially when display scary monsterosity through otherwise hi-tech devices. For example, metallic cupid made my hair stand and so did those eyes in the video that look as if they’re of few-centuries-later bondaged slave! Most of these sculptures are made up of dumped electrical gadgets like energy meters, fans, blades, wires and their likes. Well, no more words to describe; just take a look at the videos!
