I'll admit QR codes were a bit of a mystery to me until recently. I've seen the funny little codes in magazines and advertisements, and I understood that if you had an app on your phone you could scan them and get...somewhere.
Les clés de l'actualité, un jour, une actu ! "Tu connais le monde des jeux vidéo où l’on se balade parfois dans des décors qui ressemblent à de vrais paysages alors que tout est virtuel.
"New AHRC film looks at how creative innovation can translate to new products. Arts and humanities research generates innovative ideas with real-world applications and commercial potential. One example of research that is realising this potential and contributing to economic growth is an AHRC-funded Knowledge Exchange project at the University of the West of England.
In this film we see how researchers at the Centre for Fine Print Research, Led by Professor Stephen Hoskins and his team, have developed new methods of creating ceramics using 3D printing technology and worked with Denby Potteries to test designs and develop prototype models in ceramics.
The team hopes to bring ancient tradition into the 21st century, joining together old and new hand-in-hand in a project that continues to push boundaries in this area of ceramic research." For further information, please go to: http://www.uwe.ac.uk/sca/research/cfpr/ ;
Voici un nouveau concept, le QR qui ne se scanne pas.
Colorier ou remplir les zones importantes d'un QR n'est pas une pratique courante, mais pour le coup, ça le rend complément inactif. Ce n'est pas la peine de sortir son téléphone pour faire un test, c'est techniquement impossible.
Petit cours vite fait, les petits carrés dans les coins sont indispensables pour décoder un QR, si elles sont présentes c'est qu'elles ont des fonctions précises pour faciliter la lecture du QR Code (motifs fonctionnels ou function patterns).
Printers that create artificial limbs, cheap drugs and replacement organs could radically change medicine in poorer countries. But can this technology deliver?
Autodesk once made tools just for engineers and architects. Now it wants to help everyone make anything.
Carl Bass is president and CEO of Autodesk, a publicly traded software company worth $7 billion. But he’s also an amateur woodworker, and he takes his hobby seriously. Last fall, for example, when searching for just the right wood to take back to his workshop, Bass and two fellow enthusiasts—his CTO, Jeff Kowalski, and a Berkeley, California-based carpenter named Gene Agress—flew to Portland, Oregon, to meet with one of the world’s most secretive dealers in rare timber. The dealer picked up the three men in an Audi SUV, then sped into the countryside, mentioning along the way that the vehicle was, in fact, bullet-resistant.
Le tag 3D, appelé “bleam”, est donc la nouvelle génération de tag 2D (QR code, flash code…). L’application Ubleam, disponible sur Iphone et Android (et bientôt pour Blackberry et Windows Phone) permet de scanner les bleams. La question qui se pose est :
Qu’est-ce que le bleam apporte de plus que les tags 2D ?
California’s first 3D printer retail store opened this past weekend. That brings the grand total of 3D printer retail stores in America (and maybe the world) to two.
I LOVE AURASMA! Use your own free channel to connect images with 3D images, videos and pictures. A revolutionary application for teachers and librarians!
Two MIT students created an ultra-compact machine with a detachable head.
A pair of MIT mechanical engineering students has developed the first truly portable 3D printer, which fits neatly into a metal briefcase.
PopFab—designed by MIT CADLab's Ilan Moyer and Nadya Peek of MIT's Centre for Bits and Atoms—can impressively be set up in just a few moments. In the embedded video you can see the students pull out a retractable arm, fix it in place, then connect up a laptop, along with the printing head and attached material source. The pair then sit back and watch the device spring into action, etching out the fish design being fed to it by the laptop.
DUS Architects of Amsterdam has launched the world's largest 3D printer, the KamerMaker, which is capable of fabricating room-sized structures from bio-plastic.
Remember Tony Stark's augmented reality lenses from the Iron Man movies -- the ones that separated civilians from hostiles, so the Iron Man knew whom to target?
..."The value of a 3D printed model lies in its ability to communicate an idea. With social media all around us these days, the amount of visual stimulation has increased dramatically, and people’s attention spans have been brought down to 140 characters. As a designer, if you cannot get your point across in a very short window, you will lose the focus of the meeting. An accurate, detailed scale model, as provided by a high resolution 3D printer, has the ability to communicate a ton of information in the blink of an eye, and can therefore be incredibly valuable for both designers and architects alike."

Augmented reality is being increasingly embraced as an effective tool for education, and its creative use is exploding. You may be wondering, what exactly is “AR” or augmented reality? And, how do we use this type of technology in education?
