I´m glad i found out about percussionlab.com. I think this is by far the best collection of good dj sets i´ve seen on one place in the web. With great musical diversity, this website is rich on content, organized and visually appealing. Again Praveen and Sougwen Chung i blogged about, are involved. All thumbs up!

Ever heard of the website chatroulette.com? It´s a “new service for one-on-one text-, webcam- and microphone based chat with people around the world.”
Casey Neistat did a great film about it. After watching this go see the 24 best chat roulette screenshots. I really had a good laugh..
By the way, i really like Casey´s other productions so don´t forget to check out his vimeo page.
Share one frame of fame. The idea behind oneframeoffame.com ist to produce a music video with the support of the web community. C-Mon & Kypski are producing the ‘More is Less’ music video and are using the help of users and their webcams. By using photographed frames from people all over the world a cool video came together. The music is fun and uplifting and isn´t it a great way to promote an album? I think it is! Almost 6000 Participants and counting..
Now share your frame and be creative!

A really good attempt from Andreas Lutz to navigate through a Website with Hand movement and voice. Unluckily i currently have no webcam to test the movement control but the voice navigation worked ok. It´s not very efficient and a bit tiring after a while i imagine, but a lot of fun and more Websites like this one will surely follow.
Connect your Mic and Webcam and try it here.
Watch a demo of it here:

An amazing project by the University of Washington’s graphics and imaging laboratory (GRAIL). I imagine that in future this could be combined with augmented reality apps for Iphone or other mobile devices to visualize cities and places through the perspective of visitors / web users.
This is what the “thenextweb.com” writes about it:
“A group of researchers with University of Washington’s graphics and imaging laboratory (GRAIL) wanted to see if they could build a piece of software that would search the web for images of a particular place and recreate that place in 3D in under a day.Click here for static views of the reconstruction.

Honda’s U3-X is the Human Transportation Device From the Future!
The Honda U3-X, the automaker’s new personal mobility device, is a boom box-looking one-person unicycle-like scooter for office use, home mobility and travel on sidewalks without interfering with walkers.
This is less a replacement for a walker, as with Honda’s Walking Assistance Device, and more a Segway-style personal passenger vehicle. It uses an electric motor designed to provide free movement in all direction, stop, and adjust speed on the fly using shifting body weight. The trick is the Honda Omni Traction Drive System or the “HOT Drive System”.
