Technology Is Not So Scary
Forget the Silver Generation being weary of the onslaught of technology; people my age are sometimes stumped by it too. With manufacturers churning out futuristic, beyond imagination stuff; coping up with the functions and features on gizmos Enter Space Jam (not the movie!), a multi-user shared environment that makes communication between the tech-savvy and the not-so-savvy, easy. The setup actually just includes a camera sensor and a projector, the rest is just more technology conjured up by the designers.
Understanding Space Jam:
Everyday objects, such as a sticky note and a picture frame, act as input devices for the virtual world while the digital information is blended into the real environment through the projector and the camera.People, who have little knowledge about computer, not only can communicate with their family members through digital technologies, but also share their life with friends on the social networking sites. Friends and family can send the messages or photos with their favorite digital devices. Using the projector, the messages and photos can be displayed on the wall.They can leave a message to their family members by writing a physical sticky note, placing it on the wall and adding a tag, which indicates the person to whom this message is sent. The camera captures the content on the physical note, identifies the receiver, and the assigned date. Image recognition method is used to recognize the note from the wall image and cut the note image. The note image is then sent through Internet or MMS to the designated person on the assigned day.They can also browse digital photos by hanging a physical picture frame on the wall, just like the way they have been doing for years. They can hang a set of the photos by placing a pair of tags in a diagonal position on the wall. The photo slideshow is then displayed by the projector according to the position of these two tags. The tag on the top indicates the photo album they choose, while the tag on the bottom functions as the control button which is used to play, pause and resize the photo slideshow. A combination of recognition technology and multimedia software will handle photo browsing. The recognition module detects the triggered start/stop events of the photo browsing and notifies the multimedia software to operate the photo display.
The project was funded by INSIGHT center in Taiwan.
And the project leaders are Hsien-Hui Tang (design) and Wen-Jong Wu (IT)

Incredible Humans: 10 Medical Oddities that Will Make Your Heads Spin
The process of growing from a few cells to a fully formed adult is a harrowing one, full of millions of years of evolutionary tricks that help us develop unscathed. Despite everything, there are still mistakes; one missing gene or chromosome, or one too many, and a child’s development can be skewed in a very odd way. It’s remarkable that human growth and development goes so smoothly, despite the numerous opportunities for errors. Here are 10 cases where things went wrong:

It’s pretty easy to assume your child will emerge with two fully formed legs, but sadly, this isn’t always the case. From one leg to four, there are scores of children with rare genetic defects, or people who have incorporated all or most of a twin into their own bodies. The most famous (and recent) example is Lakshmi, who was born with four arms and four legs, and thought by many to be a reincarnation of a Hindu goddess.

Pituitary glands secrete hormones that tell our bodies to grow. When the gland secretes excessively, you have someone who grows as if they’re an adolescent well beyond puberty. Gigantism requires that a person’s height be several standard deviations above the tallest 1% of the population. Robert Wadlow, the tallest recorded man to ever live, was 8 ft. 11.1 inches tall at the time of his death at the age of 22, and his growth had given no indication of slowing down.

Ectrodactyly is a condition where digits or limbs are either fused or missing. Often called “Lobster Claw Syndrome” a lot of victims of this congenital defect have become sideshow performers, billing themselves with monikers such as “Lobster Boy.” The fused limbs can have surprising functionality in certain cases, but often require the use of a wheelchair.

Dede Koswara has an extremely rare genetic defect known as Epidermodysplasia Verruciformis that renders his body incapable of fighting off various strains of HPV, which is present in 80% of the world population. Dede has become an internet sensation, and is often described as half tree / half man. There have been several made for television documentaries about his condition and his attempts to treat it, but no treatment has been entirely successful.

There is a tribe of people living in Zimbabwe known as the Vadoma, that have become known as the “Ostritch People” for the prevalence of electrodactyly in their population. Many of the tribe members are born with fused toes that appear ostritch like. The tribe maintains a consistent population of such births due to their relative isolation. Those with this condition are not handicapped, and are well integrated into the tribe.

Its the disappearing room: a clever fold-up luxury kitchen that contains all of the essential elements for cooking and dining, hidden behind matte wood and metal doors in the wall.
