I saw a few months ago but never actually noted it down until I wanted to show it to someone this evening. Imagine going to a website and never clicking. Trust me, it’s harder than you would think. German Artist Alex Frank designed and developed a website to test your surfing habits whereby the entire navigation of the site goes against your natural instinct and encourages you not to click, instead by moving your cursor you can unveil the layers within the site. Pretty impressive.

Qik live streaming

January 17, 2008 | 1 Comment


I have been watching Charles Frith’s antics in Beijing through his Qik streams, and have been yearning to test this technology myself, and now I can. Qik allows you to stream videos live from your mobile browser directly to web. It is really simple to use and the quality is surprisingly good. One of the best examples of this technology being used so far is to report on current events a la MacWorld where Qikkers streamed the latest product demos from Apple at the event. SMS Text news have also demonstrated it’s great capabilities as a shopping assistant in this post. It’s still in Alpha phase, but i’m really looking forward to seeing this grow over the next few months and for those who are interested, you can follow my streams here.

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.

Pre Vu have launched a new talking CD case. The talking case allows you to send someone a video or music CD (or anything the size of a CD) with that extra bit of “you” attached—your own voice giving a personal 60 second greeting.
