DARPA and Boston Dynamics have done a good job here.

Don’t forget to watch it fully, the video only gets better as it progresses.

Scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries. Natural magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries as scientists from NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory excitedly describe their discoveries. The secret lives of invisible magnetic fields are revealed as chaotic, ever-changing geometries. All action takes place around NASA’s Space Sciences Laboratory, UC Berkeley, to recordings of space scientists describing their discoveries. Actual VLF audio recordings control the evolution of the fields as they delve into our inaudible surroundings, revealing recurrent ‘whistlers’ produced by fleeting electrons. Are we observing a series of scientific experiments, the universe in flux, or a documentary of a fictional world?

Wow!

Using tilt motions, the player moves a character through rooms that appear inside one of several cubes on a table. Each room is logically connected by a series of doors, though some doors lead nowhere (traps). The player has 2 minutes to find the exit of each cube, leading the character into the entrance of the next. Work is also being done to use invisible markers such that the cube itself appears entirely white to the naked eye. Project page: julianoliver.com/levelhead

Now…just strap some sort of explosives to these little puppies and you’ve got yourself the makings of a great action movie. “Snakes on a…???”

A slow-flying Japanese toy of some sort.
