Beautiful model work from the 2004 Wonderfest science fiction, fantasy, and horror convention. Some of these are based on pretty obscure shows, I mean who out there remembers ‘Salvage 1’?

Eyestilts
Now when haven’t you wanted to be able to see thing from the perspective of a giant? These clever guys built a device that tricks your brain into thinking that your eyes are about ten feet apart and not the normal 2.5 inches. The effect is enhance the stereo effect and ‘shrink the world’. You can do the same thing with a camera by taking two photos of the same thing (it has to be large and far away) from two points that are separated by a few feet. But looking at photos isn’t the same as seeing it in real time with your own eyes, you lose a lot of the coolness.
Building one of these and putting it near the Grand Canyon or Niagara Falls and charging a quarter for a look would make you rich.

Apple Loves Ya, Now Go Consume!
Big shock everyone, Apple is a for profit company. And while your taking notes, they know their user base very very well… They make it, you want it whatever the price.
So that little iPod Nano that your drooling over may cost you $200 bucks ( thats almost 50 trips to Starbucks people!) from the local Apple store, it may only cost Apple (praise be thy name) less than half that. From a profit margin like that I’d say that Apple is going to be around for quite a while, little change of them running out of money any time soon.
ecoMOD Home
For a school project this is pretty snappy. If I had the chance to buy one of these I would, I wonder what it would be like to live in one. The stress of keeping it clutter free might be overwhelming.
ecoMOD is a student design project at the University of Virginia School of Architecture. The aim is to design a house that is both affordable and eco-efficient. The first design they came up with is modular with an emphasis placed on melding indoor and outdoor space through passive design strategies.
