Huh? but cool….

Fickle Flickers website offers glimpse into hallucinagen induced japanimation reality world…..

Fickle Swimmers

I stubled accross this site as a link for my previous post and tough it had some outstanding artwork on it. I was amazed to see such good work merging real photos with animated figures. I did not find the artists’ name but you have to click on the ‘profile’ button and then click on the artists rendition of himself….I though it was cute. (I may try and master this move for my daughter).

Not bad for a random stumble-surf-finding…..

Have fun!

Robot Prototypes At Expo 05

expo

Loads of photos and video from the big robot demo at the 2005 Expo in Japan. The site is all in Japanese but don’t let that scare you, just click on the links and be amazed…
Walking robots, drum playing robots, robots that climb trees, robots that swim, robots that fly. Could this be the future? I hope so.

UFO Photos

Smoking on the moon

I happened across this site while looking for info on the TV show UFO, man if you want to see the wholesale coonless that was UFO this is it. Gobs of screen grabs for everything from the Interceptors to SID. It even has photos of people drinking coffee, smoking, and fighting. A little obsessive but for a good cause.

(BTW, the site is in Japanese but you can figure it out.)

Paper Asimo

Asimo

OK, the translation is a bit off… But here you can build a paper display of the Honda Asimo robot. Build it, stick it on your desk at the office and I bet everyone will want to know what it is. (Or just think your weird and keep their distance.)

Olympus Prototype HUD

HUD

A 3.8-inch translucent screen of the diagonal length of 10 cm seems to exist 50 cm ahead of the user. Personal impression when actually worn is that things can be seen through the display and it never hinders the sight, giving almost no annoyance.
