Two 17-year-olds from a Northside school in Dublin have created a new facial recognition system that website owners can deploy to allow their users to log in without having to remember passwords.
Viv.ie was created by students Niall Paterson and Sam Caulfield, who are studying for their Leaving Cert this year at Scoil Ris in Marino. The technology works by taking a picture of your face and then analysing it against a database of registered users.

Robots and 3-D printers aren't yet used by mainstream consumers but when I find one effort that combines the two, it's a 'nerdgasm' to the extreme. Take a peek at this video showing off a robotic hand that was created from a 3-D printer.

“Magic and Storytelling is an interactive presentation about the history of storytelling augmented with virtual magic in real-time. It was produced and created by New York based cyber illusionist Marco Tempest in collaboration with onformative and checksum5. When Marco asked us to work on the art direction for Magic and Storytelling we were fascinated by the challenge of combining not only several new technologies, but also giving the whole presentation a homogenous and magical look. In order to achieve this we developed a variety of different particle systems.” Via k3hamilton

The University of California at Berkeley has been on the forefront of disabilities services since the inception of the concept. The institution’s Disabilities Students Program was started in 1970 with the charge of ensuring that all students have equal access to education. In recent years the program has adopted a library of assistive technologies as a part of the DSP’s accommodation strategy to employ solution-based technologies whenever possible.

Grâce aux outils de prototypage rapide à commande numérique, à du matériel et du logiciel désormais facilement bricolables, demain, un grand nombre de personnes seront en mesure de concevoir et fabriquer des objets de leur choix, passant rapidement de l’idée au modèle numérique, du modèle au prototype, voire du prototype à l’objet tangible. C’est l’essence même du projet des Fab Labs (Wikipédia), ces espaces de travail, ces ateliers de fabrication ouverts et accessibles à tous. Mais pourquoi s’en tenir aux objets physiques et à la matière programmable ? La complexité de la matière numérique montre qu’on gagnerait certainement à étendre le concept aux données, aux statistiques, aux algorithmes… Et faire de la matière numérique un objet d’appropriation commun, comme les Fab Labs le proposent pour le monde physique.

Documentation of our workshop at Resonate Festival in Belgrade 2012. We taught a one day intensive workshop on how to record a unique type of video using Kinect paired to a digital SLR using the RGBDToolkit.
Ce qui me plait dans cette technique, c'est l'absence de profondeur. La possibilité, couplé à la kinect, d'éliminer la profondeur et d'isoler les portraits, les avant-plans... Après... la “crazy flying camera”.... ça me saoulait déjà il y a 20 ans, je reste assez constant sur cette manière de filmer. C'est un nouveau jouet technologique, et on recommence à se l'approprier, en refaisant les même aneries... Il n'empèche... I' y a joli potentiel poétique à développer...

Singularitarians generally believe two things about artificial intelligence. First and foremost, they say, it’s just a matter of time before we have an AI system that will quickly become superhumanly intelligent. Secondly, and a lot more ominously, they believe that this system would sweep away humanity, not because it will be evil by nature but because it won’t care about humans or what happens to them and one of the biggest priorities for a researcher in the AI field should be figuring out how to develop a friendly artificial intelligence, almost training it like one would train a pet, with a mix of operant conditioning and software.
