IFA-Links

Sony hall at IFA, by HolgerESony hall on IFA by HolgerEI went to IFA last week and apart from the vacuum cleaning robot (cute!), the 3DTV screens by LG and Samsung (no link found) and the vast Sony hall, I especially liked the science part of the trade fair. I talked to two scientists from DFKI Saarbrücken and tried the Wii fit board they hacked to surf Google Earth. Fun! In general, I think it’s a big chance for IFA to strengthen this part to be ever more successful in the future. Here, Matthieu and Simon demonstrate their invention:

Interaktives Musikvideo von K.I.Z.

Es steht ein Haus in Neuruppin und es sieht ziemlich düster aus. Dreckiges Linoleum, Hängelampe und den elektrischen Bratenschneider auf dem Tisch. Drin sitzen K.I.Z und rappen über Mordfantasien. Man kann das Haus mit Mouseclicks durchlaufen und Schrecklichkeiten entdecken.

Produziert wurde dieses interaktive Musikvideo von der Webproduktionsschmiede Kubikfoto, die noch einige andere tolle Projekte im Netz haben, die sich mit klickbaren Foto- Videowelten beschäftigen – oft mit einem schön morbiden Touch.

Uniqlock: Japan’s stylishest and viralest screensaver

I’m loving this screensaver and its blog widgets! According to Netxtweb, it’s one of Japan’s most successful online campaigns ever. And the music’s really OK, you can turn it on, if you like.

When downloaded, it automatically adopts to your time zone, so the whole thing is really simple (video plus displayed time), together with the blog widgets it spreads around the blogosphere and in the end is an advertising tool for Uniqlo, Japan. What they do? Cashmere pullovers.

Future Hobnox Tools: Online audio editing

Hobnox Audiotool ScreenOh my god, I just had a look at some screens of the upcoming Hobnox-Tools and I so much want to play around with that thing. There will be different virtual music machines, like a Roland 303 or a 909 and a bunch of effects which you can plug together. The amazing thing about it is: the sound engine is not build upon samples but the whole synthesizing process is emulated in flash!

As André Michelle, one of the developers writes: “The underlying audio engine is based on dynamic digital signal processing to provide very complex audio compositing in Flash. The graphical user interface is based on an unlimited sized desktop to layout your choosen devices as you wish to operate.” And here is another post by Joa, one of the flash developers.
David (Echolot.tumblr) has some more insights about how the whole Hobnox thing is going to continue.
