Polaroid Cacher from Adrià Navarro on Vimeo.
The Polaroid Cacher is a camera that allows you to take traditional instant pictures of your digital experiences. It’s an ambient device, part physical and part digital, meant to address the fleeting nature of online interactions.
We believe that our daily online activity –conversations, discoveries, games– is as meaningful as our activity in the physical world and, as such, should be preserved the same way we try to capture every important moment in our life. Especially because most of this experiences will be soon forgotten, lost under layers of information, databases and outdated services.
Given the powerful association of instant photography with memories, people and nostalgia –rather than with photographic quality– we designed our camera as a fictional Polaroid product. One that captures digital media in a traditional analog format, as means to create tangible, durable mementos of our digital life.

RGBDToolkit - Workflow for Kinect + DSLR Filmmaking
Code released to combine a digital SLR camera with a Microsoft Kinect to create higher definition visuals with depth data. The effect is similar to the holograms seen in Minority Report.
An example of it’s usage has been previously covered on this blog with an interview with Golan Levin using the technology.

The software is available (for Mac and Windows) at it’s official site here, and you can follow developments at the project’s own Tumblr blog here

Light Drive by Kim Pimmel
Stop motion form and colour, using light painting techniques.
Lighting: Kim Pimmel
Sound: Tron Legacy trailers
I’ve been interested in taking my Light Study photo series and evolving them into motion pieces. I shot a lot of footage for a VJ gig for FITC San Francisco. So I edited together those stop motion sequences, mashed up some audio from the Tron Legacy trailers, and out came Light Drive.
