3D-Printed Ears Are Now a Reality in China Mashable Researchers at Hangzhou Dianzi University invented a 3D tissue printer named Regenovo, according to 3D Printer World.
The most amazing part is that it function a lot better than the original Ear you where born with, actually it's so good it can't be compared.
More interesting is that they pronaunce that they will make fully functionally organs within 10 to 20 eyars. Maybe some should start saving up for the next Liver.
The jetpack is the quintessential mode of futuristic transportation – and if all goes well for New Zealand’s Martin Aircraft, you might have the chance to get your hands on one soon. Looking like one of Wile E. Coyote’s wacky gadgets, or a prop from a James Bond movie, the Martin Jetpack is designed to travel at 60mph and it can reach an altitude of 8,000 feet. This week Martin Aircraft performed a series of manned test flights and, if all goes well, they plan to sell their first consumer versions in 2015.
The jetpack is powered by a gas engine and two ducted fans. The thrust lifts it off the ground at 13 feet per second and as high as 8,000 feet – though the test flights are planned to go up to just 20 feet high. The jetpack can cruise for 30 minutes and at a speed of around 60 mph, and is controlled by joysticks. It protects the pilot with the inclusion of a ballistic parachute and a crumple undercarriage, will be able to take off from small spaces and is expected to fly in reasonable weather conditions.

Spanish artist Ruben Belloso Adorna uses simple pastel sticks and crayons to create stunning photo-realistic portraits of real and fictional characters
Painting hyper-realistic works of art with oil paints requires great talent and skill, but drawing them with pastel sticks and crayons seems almost impossible. It appears the word “impossible” is not in Ruben Belloso Adorna’s dictionary, as the young Spanish artist manages to create stunning photo-quality masterpieces using only pastels.

ValueWalk Apple Is Selling All Eight Harry Potter Movies for $10 – Other Movie Bundle ... TIME Updated 11:12AM: The Harry Potter bundle is now $60, though the Lord of the Rings bundle is still at $10.
The Harry Potter bundle is now $60, though the Lord of the Rings bundle is still at $10. These are “limited-time prices” according to Apple’s promotional text in the iTunes movie section, so it looks like there may have been a limit on the number of Harry Potter bundles that could be sold for $10. The other bundle deals may expire soon as well.
I caved. Will I ever watch all eight Harry Potter movies? Who knows? But for $10, I at least have access to them all.
That’s one of the deals that Apple is running through its iTunes store right now, as spotted by a user over in the FatWallet forums.
There are other deals, too – one of the better ones being the Lord of the Rings trilogy for $10.
Much of the world's great artwork is tightly controlled, but the Getty Museum just announced a significant initiative to open things up — its new Open Content Program has made some 4,600 pieces...
Amongst the many freely available pieces of art released by Getty are a number of quite famous images, including work by Claude Monet, Vincent van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Leonardo da Vinci.
If you need inspiration or have to make a 3D prop or inviroment thats historical correct you will find all kind of things, like furnitures, paintings, sculptures and jewelry.
Awesome place to visit for Art lovers and Content developers.
Wow - they got a Kickstarter explotion here with triple their goal -
In contrast, the core technology behind Fuel3D fuses geometric and photometric stereo 3D recovery techniques and is finely tuned to capture high resolution 3D color images. This raw capability provides the opportunity for an object to be captured in true 3D geometry and full color. The technology is also inherently good at capturing other highly textured surfaces, both organic and inorganic.
Once a shot has been taken on the Fuel3D scanner the raw image data is converted into true 3D color geometrical data by our own software, which is included with the Fuel3D scanner. To run the Fuel3D software, you will need a reasonable specification computer (Mac, Windows 7 or higher, 2GB RAM, dual-core processor).
Our software generates a 3D color data file and allows some basic editing functionality prior to export:
Trimming of unnecessary areas Adjusting the resolution for export, in turn reducing the polygon number for easier handlingExporting in commonly used 3D file formats, including .OBJ .STL and .PLY with color
Somewhere in Dreamland was a 1936 film based on the titular song. This film was part of Max Fleischer's Color Classics series.
A young brother and sister carry a wagon with pieces of wood, gathering them for their stove. They pass by three merchants' shops: a tinker's, a butcher's, and a baker's. The children see confectioneries at the window, trying to lick it to taste them. The friendly baker comes out with cupcakes, but they already left. The children reach home, and they are welcomed by their mother (Olive Oyl), with a kiss. Then, they eat dinner: hard bread and flat water. The children eat quickly, with the boy saying "I'm still hungry, Ma." She then cries, because they are very poor, due to the Great Depression. The boy tries to make her feel better by assuring her that he was "only foolin'" and their mother kisses them good night. They get in their pajamas, and they each sing a part of the song, as they fall asleep beneath their very tattered sheets. She turns off the candle light, and goes to bed so sadly.
In their sleep, they enter a land with a welcome sign, an arch of pillows with the word "Dreamland". They walk happily through the wondrous land, which includes an ice cream cone field, an animal cracker carousel, a field of popcorn-making corn stalks, wonderful toys, and two luxurious beds. They laugh happily, and fall asleep, only to wake up the next morning. To their surprise, a large feast is on the kitchen table, provided by the Merchants. They ask, "All for us?" The merchants say, "All for you." They shout in joy, but the boy sticks a fork on his bottom, to check if they weren't dreaming again. The children then laugh as a chorus sings "Somewhere in Dreamland, tonight."
Unlike most Color Classics, which were produced in two-strip Technicolor, with the exception of Poor Cinderella (1934) which was filmed in Cinecolor, this was Fleischer Studios' first film in three-strip Technicolor.
Somewhere in Dreamland is very typical of the style of Dave Fleischer--two angelic kewpie-like children live in terrible poverty but dream of a world of limitless candy and toys. In spite of the overly cute premise and the fact that these children are interchangeable with the children in every other Fleischer cartoon, Somewhere in Dreamland is an adorable film, which excellent animation, especially in the dream sequence. For such an early cartoon, the level of detail is quite impressive--when the kids go to bed, both their pajamas and their blankets are shabby and ridden with holes. It's a shame that cartoons like this are no longer very popular--it's hard for kids today to relate to a cartoon where every body behaves incredibly saintly, and the only villain they have to face is the ever-looming Depression. But Somewhere in Dreamland is a lovely gem that remains a tribute to the inspiring optimism of the 1930's.

Independent Online Here's how NASA will use a 3D printer on the ISS The Verge NASA says it will be ready to launch a zero-G-ready 3D printer into space in June 2014, in time for the fifth SpaceX resupply mission to the ISS.
The ability to fabricate equipment in space could save NASA considerable time and energy. "As you might imagine on Space Station, whatever they have available on orbit is what they have to use," says Niki Werkheiser, NASA's lead on the zero-G project. "And just like on the ground, you have parts that break or get lost."

In conjunction with the release of sci-fi graphic novel Anomaly, an app (for iPhone/iPad/Android) brings the book’s characters to life through augmented reality technology. As seen in the trailer, the user points his or her smartphone at the pages of the book, transforming two-dimensional static characters into fully animated 3D models with interactive features. Additionally, the app reveals plot details and images that cannot be experienced through simply reading the book.

Tintin Car Rally, Brussells, 8th Septmeber 2013
This year, in collaboration with Moulinsart, a rally involving around forty cars and motorcycles that have appeared in the Tintin comics and books, will leave from Place des Palais at 10am and journey around various mythical comic strip places around the city and then on to the Hergé Museum. On their return to Place des Palais, around 3pm, the most authentic of the cars will be officially named “The Tintin magazine car”. The cars will remain on show for the rest of the day.
Badger's Star Trek treatment was among the many high points of last night's Breaking Bad return, so Vulture was kind enough to commission an animation.
Review: See human anatomy in 3D with Zygote Body PCWorld Zygote Body is an amazing 3D simulation of the human body, complete with every layer, organ, and vessel.
Zygote Body is an amazing 3D simulation of the human body, complete with every layer, organ, and vessel. Using your keyboard or mouse, you can slowly peel away or add the different parts of the human body, and learn more about them by searching for an organ or clicking the one you're interested in.
Even if you don't study science, Zygote Body is an excellent way to get the bigger picture of the human body.

It’s a Vimeo staff pick with more than 170,000 views. It’s been hailed as a “bone-crushing 6 minutes of awesome” by Adweek and “so spot-on, you’ll want to watch it twice” by Crushable. Slate calls it the “epic movie mashup to end all movie mashups” and Canada.com dubs it the “greatest, most epic movie trailer ever made.”
Thing is, it’s not actually a movie trailer. It’s lots and lots and lots of movie trailers. And instead of being an advertisement for a Hollywood film, it is, in effect, an advertisement for a 24-year-old Belarusian video editor named Vadzim Khudabets.
