Sometimes you stumble upon a gem, the video above is such an example. Take 5 minutes out, put on your headphones on, sit back and watch.
The movie was created using After Effects and Photoshop, uploaded and directed by Manu Somot.
The movie above illustrates Kisa Naumova’s work to recreate 27 floors of the Leeds School of Contemporary Art and Graphic Design.
Kisa used a series of architects’ drawings, traced out in Illustrator, and subsequently run through custom made scripts to automatically build the prims in exactly the right places, at the right sizes and rotations. Once in place tweaks were made by hand allowing the building to be completed in 2 days.
The process of importing site plans to automate the building process is intriguing, it points to the future whereby blue prints will be automatically imported and constructed in virtual space.

Touch tables, touch tablets and touch phones are all well and good to explore the emerging interfaces and applications of computing but if you spend most of your day immersed in digital geography you really need something more ‘earth’ shaped.
Step forward Microsoft with the first demonstration of the ‘Touch Sphere’, the movie below shows it in action.
Of note is the short demo of the system with a image of the earth. We have already cleared space in the lab ready to house it…
Thanks to Kirk for sending us the heads up, take a look at Todd Bishop’s Microsoft Blog for more details.
