Cirque du Soleil, ETH Zurich, and Verity Studios have partnered to develop a short film featuring 10 quadcopters in a flying dance performance. The collaboration resulted in a unique, interactive choreography where humans and drones move in sync.
See it is 2014 – Fly cars are here.
SkyRunner is a dune buggy and a power parachute in one. After almost three years in development, it is on track to hit the market later this year.

The 2015 way to reveal a car?
This is the demo of the projection mapping and content for the launch of the volkswagen golf at the New York International AutoShow, this year. It's a lot of fun, makes me wish cars had led skins.
The seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf debuts at New York International Auto Show making its first appearance in the United States with an exciting light show revisiting previous Golf generations. The latest version of the Golf is bigger, more spacious, lighter, and more fuel-efficient.
PL01 Concept Tank
Polish landforces could be driving these some time soon. It seems to have borrowed ab it from from the tanks in Tron, or maybe not?
These patrol tanks were created by Kevin Flynn, of Encom, for the video game, Space Paranoids. Unfortunately his work was stolen by Ed Dillinger then annexed by the Master Control program. Now they serve in a virtual world ruled by the MPC where they hunt down renegade programs. The tanks were featured in the 1982 movie Tron.

Fashion lookbooks can be boring.
THIS LOOKBOOK IS A SUPPORTING MATERIAL FOR DORI TOMCSANYI'S 2014/15 AUTUMN/WINTER CAMPAIGN. WE THOUGHT WE WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A TWIST IN THE DRY WORLD OF LOOKBOOKS.
ALL THE DRESSES OF THE COLLECTION ARE SHOT IN A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT POSITION, SO WHEN FLIPPING IT COMES TO MOTION AND GIVES THE VIEWER THE ILLUSION OF SKIING.
BUT IF THE VIEWER WANTS TO SEE THE CLOTHES SEPERATELY THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO GO THROUGH THE BOOK PAGE BY PAGE, LOOKING AT THE DRESSES SEPERATELY. IF THE BOOK IS OPENED, THE SAME LOOK IS VISIBLE FROM THE FRONT AND FROM THE BACK, ON THE TWO SIDES OF THE PAGES, THAT GIVES YOU A WIDER PICTURE OF THE LOOK.
THE IDEA OF THIS FLIP_LOOKBOOK HAS POPPED INTO DAPHNE'S HEAD YEARS AGO, BUT THIS WAS THE COLLECTION THAT ACTUALLY MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO FINALLY PRODUCE IT. THIS MAKES US EXTREMELY HAPPY, SO WE HOPE IT BRINGS JUST AS MUCH JOY FOR YOU AS IT DID FOR US!

Business Card Speaker for iPhone5
I have always loved when business cards do something more. Leave it to the Swedes. Pause LJUD&BILD, in collaboration with akestamholst, created a fold out business card on 330 gram Plike Stock, to provide a 17% increase in volume, when used with an iPhone.
A House as Portable as Furniture
Architect Camino Alonso wanted to create a small, portable, prefab homes, but she didn't want it to feel like a shipping container. Camino, along with her husband and siblings (also architects at their firm Ábaton), created ÁPH80, a tiny home that ships like furniture, but has the style and usability of a smartphone.

The 16th President of RISD
John Maeda was welcomed into the Art Directors Hall of Fame in 2008, at the time I was just joining the ADC board. It was inspiring to be part of an organization that was able to recognize the career of a creative person who is comfortable at the intersection of Design, Technology and Business. Now just 6 years later it is amazing to see what John has accomplished at RISD, bringing technology to the design/education space and what he will do in at EBAY, in the technology/business space.
Searchlight - A Technical Projection Study.
Urban Screen is a group of 8 contributors based in Bremen, Germany who have backgrounds in Architecture, Music, Stage Design, and Media art. They create custom made large scale projections of urban surfaces. This video documents an experiment that they are working on called Search Light. The projector is on a gimbal that is connected to a realtime 3d map of the room, allowing for amazing dynamic projections and for experimentation around artful and purpose driven use cases.
Amazon Prime Air - Drone Delivery
Prime Air is a service that Amazon is developing who's goal is to get customer's deliveries to them in 30 minutes or less. The R&D team at Amazon is working on using drones to deliver small packages, up to five pounds, which accounts for 86 percent of the items sold on amazon.
Amazon is working with the FAA to advance the rules and regulations to make this possible, which they say will take some years, with a goal as early as 2015. They also mention safety as their top priority.
UPDATE:
Wired debunks this Cyber Monday Hoax.
GoldieBlox - Go Girls!
It's sorta sad that the Beastie Boys are going after Goldie Blox for use of their song. Goldie Blox is a Small company, now, and it's likely the 7.2 millions plays will spern people to buy "Girls" from the Beastie Boys.
To think that it took until 2013 for this to happen. Thank you Debbie Sterling. The work that you are doing here is the most important kind. Creating a generation of future citizens that are interested in how things work. Making it desirable and competitive amongst the sexes, is truly inspiring. To see a future where there are rooms of engineers that are equal parts male as they are female will ensure a future that has less disease, less poverty, less war, and higher standards of living for all. Girls! Let's do this.
As the legal battle ensues between the Beastie Boys and Goldie Blox, I suggest that you buy from both sides of the argument.
ExFEARiential !!!!
This is really well done. great job John St!
Beautiful Lego
Lego's were a huge inspiration to me as a child. Playing with legos gave me an understanding of geometry, color, composition, and even engineering. Lego seems to be a company that despite innovations in technology has managed to stay relevant and capture the imaginations of children and adults alike. I recently ran into an article pimping a new book by called Beautiful LEGO, by Mike Doyle.
