Apollo Robbins takes things from people’s jackets, pants, purses, wrists, fingers, and necks, then returns them in amusing and mind-boggling ways.
Phillip Trotter's insight:
Understanding how our perception system and sense of time and space work are increasingly key to how we design great user interfaces and user expereinces. Apollo Robbins is one of my favourite entertainers - a magician pickpocket, who in the National Geographic series BrainGames - explains how our perception and attention can be manipulated and managed to distract and misfocus. Great article by Adam Green in the New Yorker on his background, work and approach to what he does. If you like magic and interested in human perception its well worth a read.

Elliptic’s Windows 8 Gesture Suite gives the users a touchless version of the gestures they already know from a touchscreen and allows the user to interact in an even more natural and intuitive way without having to touch the screen. Ultrasonic touchless technology uses up to 95% less power than current camera image-based gestural systems, making it an attractive option for device manufactures around the world and fora variety of applications.

New vision control api from 3GearSystems turns two Microsoft Kinnect devices into finger precise visual control system. Interesting approach and results look impressive. SDK is now in public beta - will be a charge for commercial use for companies with 100K+ turnover. Their demo video is well worth watching. Click on the image or title for more info.

Books used to be simple objects. You pick one, open it, read it. But what is a book today? Or a magazine? We don’t know …
Phillip Trotter's insight:
Davide Casali is an awesome user experience designer. Together with Alessandro Morandi and Marco Columbo he created the BakerFramework - one of the best open source ebook publishing platforms available - (if you don't know it and build book or magazine apps for ipad - then check it out - it is awesome). His blog is http://intenseminimalism.com/ is always worth reading (especially his design analysis posts). If you are tracking evolution of publishing design, interested in user experience design or want a better handle on understanding where ebook publishing can evolve - then spend 10 minutes reading this post. it is worth it.

I was 13 years old when my local public library got a copy of Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson's 1981 book "The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation". I borrowed that book as often as I possibly could, I learned to sketch and animate from it and used to practise drawing the characters and forms within it. The book effectively documents the principles that Disney Studio's helped develop that define compelling animation. There is a great article on UX design in Smashing Magazine explaining how the concepts in the book relate to modern user interface design. Worth reading. Click on the image or title to learn more.

Nice zoomable user interface on the tree of life showing species, how they relate and ecological risk for branch of tree.

It is going to be interesting finding out how much of this is hype and how much of this is reality. Initial videos are intriguing. A startup called Leap Motion has announced the development of the Leap 3D motion control device that is sensitive down to 1/100 of a millimeter – that’s 200 times better than other sensors (i.e: Kinect). At this resolution, the Leap software is able to resolve the motion of individual fingers, allowing for intuitive gesture controls like pinch-to-zoom, highly accurate virtual drawing, and manipulation of 3D models.

The output of DARPA’s capstone ISR processing program will help analysts in multiple industries (not just defence and military) to make sense of the huge volumes of intelligence-rich information available to them from existing sensors and data sources. It will be worth tracking the BAE team and DARPA reports that are made public over the period of the program at conferences to gain insights into display modalities used and types of data fusion techniques employed to see implications and opportunities for civilian applications.
