Yes! 50 Scientifically Proven Ways to Be Persuasive

2009-05-22T15:11:00.002-05:00

Incentive programs need a good start: A car-wash place gave one group of customers a free car wash after 8 washes, and everybody got their first stamp after their visit. Group B got a free car wash after 10 car washes, with 3 stamps on the card. Both groups needed to make 7 more trips to get a free wash. 19% of the Group A returned, while 34% of the Group B did.

I don't know if this is real or a demo reel of someone's video effects skills. Pretty cool if real. Note the huge factory in the background of the last shot. Looks like something out of Wizard of Oz or Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Webcam Brings 3-D to Topps Sports Cards

2009-03-09T14:47:00.001-05:00

"Beginning Monday, collectors who hold a special Topps 3D Live baseball card in front of a webcam will see a three-dimensional avatar of the player on the computer screen. Rotate the card, and the figure rotates in full perspective. It's called "augmented reality," a combination of a real image with a virtual one."

Turning the Place Over by Richard Wilson

2009-03-08T15:58:00.000-05:00

The most daring piece of public art ever commissioned in the UK, Turning the Place Over is artist Richard Wilson's most radical intervention into architecture to date, turning a building in Liverpool's city centre literally inside out. One of Wilson's very rare temporary works, Turning the Place Over colonises Cross Keys House, Moorfields. It runs in daylight hours, triggered by a light sensor.

Turning the Place Over consists of an 8 metres diameter ovoid cut from the façade of a building in Liverpool city centre and made to oscillate in three dimensions. The revolving façade rests on a specially designed giant rotator, usually used in the shipping and nuclear industries, and acts as a huge opening and closing 'window', offering recurrent glimpses of the interior during its constant cycle during daylight hours.
