360º 3D Display, Buckminster Fuller, Evolutionary Shift & Pompeii Illusion
Jun 20th, 2008 by Mike Bennett
Neat video showing off a 360 degree 3D display created by researchers from the Graphics Lab at University of Southern California. More details can be found on their website and in their SIGGRAPH 2007 paper.
Read about Buckminster Fuller - architect, inventor, innovator, designer, futurist.
Evolution at work Bacteria make major evolutionary shift in the lab.
User Designer has been very quiet because I was on holidays and attending the Advanced Visual Interfaces 2008 conference, where I presented Perceptual Usability: Predicting changes in visual interfaces & designs due to visual acuity differences. Yet again AVI was an enjoyable conference with lots of friendly faces. Unfortunately its only on every two years.
While in Italy I headed to Pompeii and unexpectedly stumbled upon a 2000 year old bistable optical illusion mosaic in The House of the Faun. Wow. I hadn’t realised the Romans and Greeks used optical illusions in their art. Below is a photo of the mosaic:
