Turn Around [iPhone]

Filip — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 16:20:52 +0000

Simple but lovely little dynamics app; Turn Around, created by coolap. There isn’t much word on the dev or previous work and it appears that the blog has been set-up just for this app. In the app, you tap to add point sprites and they will start moving around and colliding with one another. At an appropriate distance a small sprite may be captured and will keep turning around a bigger one depending on the hierarchy of small vs larger sprites. Demo (lite) version is also available.

Features:
- up to 500 point sprites
- select the color and the size of the sprite
- change the style of the sprites (18 styles)
- show/hide toolbars
- tune up/down the turning speed
- shake to randomize the position of the sprites

See video below + for more information visit the dev site.

Platform: iPhone
Version: 1.0
Cost: $0.99

Crash Photography [Objects, Inspiration]

Filip — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 21:00:32 +0000

Crash Photography is a project byÂ Greg Borenstein, a programmer, musician, hardware hacker, and student at NYU ITP in New York City. Using MatchBox cars and Arduino board, Greg constructed a realtime camera shutter of crash event occurring from two cars colliding. As the undercarriages of cars were conductive enough to set off the multi-meter, as they touch, they set off Arduino to blink the built-in extra strong LED lights. As the camera shutter is left open, LED lights provide sufficient illumination to take a visible picture. The results, as you can see below, areÂ beautiful images of something truly special captured. Whilst one may consider that this could be easily replicated or faked, what is impossible to achieve is the motion blur captured from cars moving.

A wonderful mix of physical and digital, connected to,gether to create something we could have never been able to see otherwise. Just wonderful…

Pixel Snow [Processing]

Created by Julian Vidal, Pixel Snow is aÂ processing script enabling real time snow dynamics by drawing objects and letting snow fall on them. You can adjust density of the snow as well as speed it falls. InÂ additionÂ you are able to create snow vortex (eats snow) and additional snow generators. What may appear as a simple snow generator, once you add a number of objects and generators, can quickly turn into a pretty complex example of collision dynamics.

Don’t forget to press SPACE on your keyboard to enable snow, otherwise it will show as black
