THE LOST AND FOUND

A lot has been written about Daim’s 3-D Graffiti, now some Media Arts and Design students are teaming together to transform a Nintendo Wii console into a spraycan. Wiispray, a prototype which remains under heavy development, is part of a final thesis design project by Martin Lihns at Bauhaus-University in Weimar, Germany.

Wiispray aims to bring its gamers all the thrills of a real-life spraycan without the limitations. It simulates real-life spraycan characteristics and comes with a range of different caps and colours. No word yet on who the sponsor is, but I bet Montana wants the entire pie.

I think Marc Ecko just got schooled.

You might need to turn down, or mute your volume during the video.

Whether it’s total hippy mumbo jumbo or scientific fact, I think people will be freaking out about this more than they did over the whole Y2K fiasco.

Don’t say we never dropped science on you…

“A tiny chemical “brain” which could one day act as a remote control for swarms of nano-machines has been invented.”

And above we have a neckband that intercepts nerve signals, allowing someone to translate thoughts into words without emitting a sound. Hence, this would allow someone to use a phone without actually speaking and, in theory, even take notes without writing. I thought it would be at least 50 years before I’d be able to take notes with my mind… this shit is crazy.

“A neckband that translates thought into speech by picking up nerve signals has been used to demonstrate a “voiceless” phone call for the first time.

With careful training a person can send nerve signals to their vocal cords without making a sound. These signals are picked up by the neckband and relayed wirelessly to a computer that converts them into words spoken by a computerised voice.”
