Computational Thermoforming
Research from the Interactive Geometry Lab is method of producing digital 3D objects with thermoforming technique:
Differently from industrial techniques, which target mass production of a specific shape, we propose a combined hardware and software solution to manufacture customized, unique objects. Our method simulates the forming process and converts the texture of a given digital 3D model into a pre-distorted image that we transfer onto a plastic sheet. During thermoforming, the sheet deforms to create a faithful physical replica of the digital model. Our hardware setup uses off-the-shelf components and can be calibrated with an automatic algorithm that extracts the simulation parameters from a single calibration object produced by the same process.
How To Be More Organized While Designing UI
Tristan Minor:
After working 4 years in the field of digital design I got obsessed with tidying up and sorting information. This lead to the creation of a systematic approach for designing user interfaces.
It is an object-oriented, programming-inspired approach, a collection of various ideas that are universal. Use it for working with your favourite design software or for coding.

Microsoft has created Star Wars-style holographic communication
Microsoft’s I3D research group has figured out how to create a live hologram of another person to be placed in another room. A massive array of 3D cameras in one room captures an entire person’s movements and speech in real time, then projects them into another room where a HoloLens user can see them and interact with them.

colofilter.css
Those colorful filters uses css blend modes and were heavily inspired by Spotify new 2015 ads
This technic is called “DuoTone”, and today, with the power of CSS we can play around with some blend-modes properties, to get some cool visual results.
