Cool Shit #8
Here’s an update on weird interesting innovative stuff we have found on the Internet.
Dialogue — This texting editor mimics the texting experience and automatically converts the contents to a screenplay or fountain script. You can arrange the scenes in your screenplay in any order you want, toggle scenes off and on by swiping them and export only the things you want in the order you want.
Closca Helmet — A sleek, adjustable, foldable bicycle helmet designed to keep you safe and enhance your urban style.
Abaci —This app calculates various sizes of text to be used in print and digital applications (e.g. brochures, websites, emails, reports) that are complementary to each other and based on the famous proportions of the Fibonacci sequence. The golden proportions offered ensure that what you use will then be inherently pleasing to the eye.
Steve Smith’s video for Moaning — 90s MTV would be proud.
OriginX — Chances are you can’t buy this new Hultén but why not admiring it? It has a modern computer with a MAME emulator for running classic games, with USB access for easily adding your own ROMs. Inspired by the original Pong arcade cabinet, Hultén’s spin is built from a walnut housing with an aluminum control panel and facade. ❤
Mapbox Time Map — In this time map, Mapbox preserves the direction of each point, relative to the user. But the visual distance from that center point is determined by the time it takes to get there, whether driving, biking, or on foot.
Inside Music — This is a simple experiment developed by Google Developers that explores the idea of stepping in a song. It features the music of Phoenix, Natalia Lafourcade, Perfume Genius, Alarm Will Sound, Clipping, and Ibeyi.
Electric Spray —A low-cost and versatile sensing technique that enables touch input on a wide variety of objects and surfaces, whether small or large, flat or irregular. This is achieved by using electric field tomography in concert with an electrically conductive material, which can be easily and cheaply added to objects and surfaces.
Norman — An open-source WebVR tool to create frame-by-frame animations in 3D.
