For more Info about this project, please visit: http://cameraculture.info/news/ For biographical Info on Ramesh Raskar, One of the Top Innovators under 35, please visit: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2011/profile-raskar-0929.html A paper "How to see around corners" published in Nature (International Weekly Journal of Science) can be found at http://www.nature.com/news/how-to-see-around-corners-1.10258 Why you should listen to Ramesh Raskar: In 1964 MIT professor Harold Edgerton, pioneer of stop-action photography, famously took a photo of a bullet piercing an apple using exposures as short as a few nanoseconds.

​

This TED talk on Femto-photography (1 trillion frames per second) is a real mind-bender. I love having my mind bent. ​

4 - The Lincoln Tunnel at 190mph

Former Formula One driver David Coulthard drove the Red Bull Racing Running Show Car through the 1.5 mile Lincoln Tunnel, which connects New York and New Jersey. Coulthard hit incredibly high speeds, no doubt setting the record for the fastest-ever commute through the tunnel.

I haven't driven through the Lincoln Tunnel for about 10 years, and that was in a UHAUL. So, yeah, this is a bit of wish fulfillment. ​

2 - Motion Capture of Flying Robots Is Pretty

'Flight Forms' revisits early 90's animation ideas in architecture in the Robotic Simulation environment of Sci-Arc. Inspired Muybridges studies, moving bodies in space our intitial starting point was a 'drone' that can independently fly. Based on its motion, nature of behaviour, momentum we have created a 3d visual catalogue, a motion libarary. This collection of motion than got placed in the robotic simulation environment where the flight path were used in controlled way to generate forms. Using multiple film and masking tricks the drones were populated to formations operating in sychronous flight... www.petervikar.com Project by Al ATAIDE & Peter A VIKAR Studio Marcelo SPINA SUMMER 2012 / SCI-ARC ROBOT HOUSE Research Fellows: Brandon KRUYSMAN, Jonathan PROTO Special thanks to: Haejun JUNG, Nazareth EKMEKJIAN, Talin EBRAHIMI, Laylee SALEK, Ida HAMMARLUND, Astrid, Grey CROWELL, Kai REAVER, Andrew ATWOOD MUSIC BY MOUNT KIMBIE - RUBY / RICHARD WAGNER - RISE OF THE VALKYRIES SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF ARCHITECTURE LOS ANGELES, 2012

Quadrotors, micro-drones, all other sorts of flying robots are terrifyingly amazing. And this video studying and visualizing flight paths is gorgeous. The look like vertebrae ​. Eery.
