Seeing Spaces by Bret Victor

REally interesting talk from Bret Victor on the futur of Maker spaces as a Seeing space .a must watch IMO

Seeing Spaces from Bret Victor on Vimeo.

-What if we designed a new kind of "maker space" -- a space that isn't just for putting pieces together, but also for seeing and understanding a project's behavior in powerful ways? - seeing inside - seeing across time - seeing across possibilities "I think people need to work in a space that moves them away from the kinds of non-scientific thinking that you do when you can't see what you're doing -- moves them away from blindly following recipes, from superstitions and rules of thumb -- and moves them towards deeply understanding what they're doing, inventing new things, discovering new things, contributing back to the global pool of human knowledge." Presented at the EG conference on May 2, 2014. Art by David Hellman. Bret Victor -- worrydream.com more info

Minus-8 timepieces. bold watches.

2013-12-15T23:14:00.000-08:00

Minus 8 timepieces have come to embody a bold exploration into anintensely simple presentation of time.

Newly launched brand Minus-8 is a true celebration of industrial processes and solid design .
the 4 models are bold and honest, a sweet mix of design precision, raw elegance and true craftsmanship.

Minus 8 draws its name and lifestyle inspiration from the industrious and creative spirit spilling over into the world from the Pacific Time Zone (- 8 hours from GMT).

MINUS-8 : MARK 3 Designed in California, USA

TIME IS RELATIVE

In the International Date System, the West Coast of the United States carries the label Coordinated Universal Time Standard -8 (CUT - 8). The MINUS 8 brand, consisting of products designed in this West Coast culture, is proud of its position on the world stage and takes its name from this international nomenclature. Time is relative. We are only aware of its passing if change occurs. The MINUS 8 watch references our dependence on change through a series of subtle color shifts, each step only visible in the context of the others. This color shift is achieved through the process of Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD.) PVD is an industrial coating process which is inherently time dependent. A raw stainless piece is placed in a vacuum chamber where a hard coating accumulates over time. More time in the chamber produces a thicker coating and a more opaque color.

- See more at: http://www.astrostudios.com/projects/view/minus-8/#sthash.eQwLl3QF.dpuf
The Mark 3 is our starting point because its initial presentation reveals the brand’s central design ethos—bold simplicity. As the face transitions from right to left, the unique stainless steel, PVD coated split case design creates a powerful line of demarcation between the busy past and a simplified future. An elemental three-hand movement stresses its fundamental point-of-view, while the inclusion of a reprogrammable NFC chip embedded in the silicone wristband allows the user to extend a single-minded function from the watch into our digital life.
The CONCEPT 24’s face architecture explores the layers that separate us from the essence of time and presents us with the fundamentals—three-hand movement, 24 hour scale, month, date and weekday. It’s housing utilizes a completely original design strategy that stacks individual PVD coated/colored stainless steel layers to create an internal/external gradient effect and visual flow down to the watch face. The impact is bold, and simple. CONCEPT 24 takes the idea of deliberate functionality one step further by adding an integrated, programmable NFC chip into the silicone band so wearers can automate a single task in their digital life

Intel North Cape :A detachable Tablet done Right.

2013-12-11T14:39:00.000-08:00

Windows 8 crosses the boundaries from traditional desktop computing to mobile touch user experience. Intel’s latest Fourth Gen Intel® Core™ Processor supports both the high performance requirements of traditional PC experience and the low power and weight requirements of mobile touch applications.

Intel and ARTEFACT embarked on a journey to build “North Cape,” a premium consumer-focused 13” convertible computer, whose ingenious features and capabilities would illustrate the potential of detachable tablets in the future of home computing. The focus of the project was to optimize the device both for touch and productivity, without adding cumbersome mechanisms or interactions. Our ultimate goal was to enable a seamless transition between the modes, in order to create a truly differentiated experience.

Ara by Motorola meet Phonebloks: Open hardware platform for Smart Phone

2013-10-29T10:54:00.000-07:00

-Ara is developing a free, open hardware platform for creating highly modular smartphones. Led by Motorola’s Advanced Technology and Projects group Project ARA want to do for hardware what the Android platform has done for software. "Our goal is to drive a more thoughtful, expressive, and open relationship between users, developers, and their phones. To give you the power to decide what your phone does, how it looks, where and what it’s made of, how much it costs, and how long you’ll keep it." The design for Project Ara consists of what we call an endoskeleton (endo) and modules. The endo is the structural frame that holds all the modules in place. A module can be anything, from a new application processor to a new display or keyboard, an extra battery, a pulse oximeter--or something not yet thought of! The ARA team et with Dave Hakkens, the creator of Phonebloks.The community he's been building will be necessary for Motorola to turn Ara into a success story. more info
