LevelHead: A 3D Spatial Memory Game
Demo video of new conceptual game ‘levelHead’ by Julian Oliver. 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

500 Years of Female Beauty
Watch a mesmerizing continuous morphing of some of the most recognizable female faces over the past half-millenium.

It’s certainly fascinating to watch the development of current conceptions of beauty over the years.

The Human LCD
From South Korea, these are boys cheering for their soccer teams. But this isn’t done (as in the States) by holding up cards, this is done using the colors of the clothes they are wearing.

Amazingly precise!
