A Creation Worth Seeing – 3D Video Projection On Buildings

By Michael Claridge On October 20, 2009 No Comments

Now this is an amazing creation.  I have watched this more than a dozen times and it never gets old.  Fast forward to a day when all city skylines are layered with amazing visuals like this.

I applaud NuFormer Digital media and their high-skilled 3D video mapping projections. These 3D projections can be custom-made to fit any specific building by a battery of powerful projectors that display amazing 3d video.

Create Useful Creations That Could Even Save A Life Someday

By Michael Claridge On October 20, 2009 No Comments

Now here’s a creation that looks to be quite useful – that is if you are a rescue worker.  It’s called the Braun Post-Disaster Emergency Foot Protective Accessory.  It’s a big name for something with a big purpose.  It is for rescue workers who are on scene of disasters like earthquakes.
 
Due to the rubble, and dangerous topography after such calamities, the feet of the rescue workers are most vulnerable and susceptible to injury and infection. Shards of glass, nails, debris etc. can hamper the mission and walking over them always poses a threat.
 
Enter the Braun Post-Disaster Emergency Foot Protective Accessory:  These handy contraptions fit snugly over the workers shoes and protect their feet from accidental nips and cuts.   Thanks to its sturdy structure the rescue worker can complete the job confidently, knowing their feet are protected.  It’s a two-part thing with a steel and silica gel insole and an over-the-shoe strap-up.

I’d like to comment on one other thing that I noticed about designer Huang Zheng and his creation.  Too many people think that in order for you to qualify as a creator, or for your creations to qualify as being creations that they must necessarily be something big in scope.  Meaning they have to have huge appeal, with broad recognition.  That simply is not the case. 

The Braun Post-Disaster Emergency Foot Protective Accessory isn’t something that has mass appeal, neither is it something that is universally useful, but it qualifies as a creation (quite well done I might add) and Huang Zheng qualifies as a creator.

The fact that you create qualifies you as a creator, and what you create is unarguably a creation.  Stop selling your creations short, and give yourself, the creator, some credit.  Once you get started creating you never know what useful and handy creations with big purposes that you will create.

Jump Rope Creation

This is a different kind of creation – but quite phenomenal.  I particularly like the way they used the different sizes so well.  They have worked hard.  Countless hours of practice have gone into this, and it shows.


Subdivided Creations or Creations of Subdivisions?

I came across a very basic site by the New York artist Ross Racine.  He creates aerial views of fictional suburbs.  His creations are not photographs or scanned images but are each drawn freehand directly on the computer and then printed on an inkjet printer.

iPod to iPiano, iMazing!

By Michael Claridge On October 13, 2009 No Comments

The .mp3 is to music what .dos was to Bill Gates, and Steve Jobs took the ball and ran with it.  My hats off to the creators of the entire iPod family.  This new design for the iPiano is crazy cool. 

My older brother had the dream of becoming a concert pianist.  One of my fondest memories of growing up was the countless hours of fine piano music that I heard as he practiced in our living room.  There is nothing like live piano music. 

Take the iPiano that can display your music, turn your pages, and if your not a concert pianist it will even teach you how to play!  If that’s not cool enough the iPiano stores and displays your electronic music scores – no more fumbling for sheetmusic under your piano bench. It’s all displayed on the center screen, and it’s even a touch screen at that. And if you’re into composing music, this little beauty can record what you play as well!
