Microsoft’s first game for Surface

March 6, 2008 | 1 Comment


Microsoft have developed the first game for Surface. The game is called Firefly and the concept remind me of Hungry Hippo’s whereby the user has to catch the firefly’s and bring them towards them until they can trap them in their glass jar. Sarcastic Gamer give their first-hand review of the game in this video.

Goodby, Silverstein & Partners have launched a really nice site for Adobe to support the launch of Creative Suite 3. Adobe Cards starts with a single card with a scrollbar along the bottom of the screen, offering you to move the bar to “take as much as you want”. As the user moves the scrollbar, the cards animate into a really stunning animation sequence.

I absolutely love this site. Visual Complexity was founded by Manuel Lima, an interaction designer who is currently Senior User Experience Designer at Nokia Design. Manuel describes the site as a resource space for anyone who is interested in the visualisation of complex networks. I can guarantee you won’t be able to put it down for at least 10 minutes.

So this week CES 2008 has been running in Las Vegas and Jeremy Gutsche has compiled this really nice round up of the top 20 gadgets to come out of the conference in this Trend Hunter report. Personally I want to play with the BigStage software to turn myself into a 3D avatar as my Wii avatar just doesn’t cut it anymore in comparison to this.

Digital paint brush

December 4, 2007 | Leave a Comment

“I/O Brush is a drawing tool that explores colours, textures, and movements found in everyday materials by “picking up” and drawing with them. I/O Brush looks like a regular paintbrush but has a small video camera with lights and touch sensors embedded inside. Outside of the drawing canvas, the brush can pick up colour, texture, and movement of a brushed surface. On the canvas, artists can draw with the special “ink” they just picked up from their immediate environment.” This is a really great innovation and I am waiting for the consumer product version to launch.
