Flat design has all the key attributes that make a site as functional as it is beautiful. It recognizes that a sense of familiarity is important to the user experience, but it creates this sense in a way that fits with the medium. At the same time, it's able to adapt to new discoveries, trends, and ideas. Flat design brings us a step closer to a new paradigm of digital design, where the functionality and aesthetic are in complete harmony.

La vectorisation d’une image n’est pas un truc magique ni extrêmement complexe, c’est tout simplement la transformation d’une image en formule mathématiques (vecteurs) dont l’objectif est d’éviter la pixellisation d’une image. Rien compris? Normalement une image est constituée de pixels, qui sont des petits points carrés qu’on va pouvoir visualiser si on agrandit une photo. Une image vectorielle est constituée de lignes, de cercle de courbe issu de formule de maths. L’avantage d’une image vectorisée c’est qu’on peut l’agrandir à souhait et elle gardera toujours la même forme, sans cette pixellisation ennuyeuse.

Meta is building truly immersive augmented reality with gesture tracking and visual overlays, with help from pioneer Steve Mann. Via Gary Hayes

Quote " If you’re a little disappointed at the limited feature set of Google’s Project Glass, there’s a new pair of glasses that might bring all your augmented reality dreams to life. A company called Meta is building a fully hackable headset, complete with visual overlays and gesture detection. Even more exciting, the company has just announced that Steve Mann, a pioneer in wearable computing technology, is joining the team as Chief Scientist. Meta blew past their Kickstarter goal of $100,000 in five days. Developer kits quickly sold out in the $550 and $650 pledge tier, which is less than half the price of the $1500 Project Glass Explorer Edition. The Meta developer kit includes see-through augmented reality glasses, a depth camera and a software developer’s kit, which includes sample applications and documentation. Meta works with Unity3D, the same graphics rendering engine supported by Oculus Rift, allowing users to pick up and manipulate their own 3D digital objects." Delete the scoop?
