“Partant d’une idée simple et plutôt pratique, un petit clin d’oeil pour la « Solar Camera Strap », un concept de sangle d’appareil photo intégrant une bande de cellules photovoltaïques souples permettant de recharger ce dernier tout en le transportant. Imaginée par le jeune designer Weng Jie, une idée plutôt intéressante qui peut en outre être déclinée sur d’autres applications.” (via TrendsNow | Solar Camera Strap) 
“Four tower supports are erected at the four corners of the sports venue. Connected to each of these towers is a powerful CNC winch, each in turn connected to a cable that stretches out to the center of the field. The four cables meet and connect at the camera, which weighs in the neighborhood of just 30 pounds. The cables stretching from the tower tops to the camera are not pulled horizontally taut; the camera hangs down, with the cables heading up and away from it at an angle. Additionally, each cable features an integrated fiber-optic cable which carries the camera’s HD signal back to a control room.
"But you can’t blame people for trying to find a new way to answer an age-old question, one that dates from the first time Adam looked across the garden at Eve: Who Dat?"
This American Life “… the camera really changed the way we behaved - it still really disturbs me - we lost our humanity, we let one of our classmates just get trampled on - and they weren’t even real cameras …”

Alex AinslieI'm a recent Cornell CS MEng graduate interested in data, computation, design and their intersection. In 2009 I graduated early with an independent BA in Computing, Cognition & Aesthetics and a minor in French. My honors thesis examined the traces our Bluetooth-enabled devices leave behind in public space. I have spent the past three summers as an intern at Google working on mobile maps and gmail, suggest, query refinements, social search, and most recently goggles and mobile local search. I will join Google fulltime in August 2010. This site was born as a personal photo journal during a semester spent abroad in Paris and has evolved into a curated collection of links, text, and images. |
