Last week was really busy, with tight project schedules and a 24h coding marathon at Codebits. Nonetheless, there’s always time to share the latest fresh inspirations:

First, another great idea by FarFar, with Nokia presenting the next step in workload management. Just upload that boring document you have on your Documents folder and be surprised.

Speaking of mobile, and for not accusing me of a Nokia bias, there’s Samsung Omnia, a video exploration on what a mobile device has to offer, at 42goodthings.com. Also created by a Swedish agency, Projector.

Having a great time? Then grab a Heineken beer, and take a good look around the bar to know the signs.

It could be easier to understand, so i wouldn’t had to put up with the annoying voice off. The Oddcast custom video is nice though. Work by Unit9.

After the digital inspiration, a few more video bytes on creativity, starting with Lit Studio’s Interactive Mirror (not sure how it would work out on a Monday morning)

Interactive Mirror from Alpay Kasal on Vimeo

and ending with an essential talk on creativity and play by IDEO’s T shaped men, Tim Brown.

The gap between real and virtual has been narrowing the past few years, with hardlinking technologies like QRcodes and RFID connecting objects to the network. Another common strategy is to emulate the physical world, using a web cam and processing the data input to create augmented experiences.

One of the best examples of this reality bridge is the latest Virtual Mirror by Ray-Ban.

On the website, access to the Virtual Mirror section, and download the application powered by FittingBox, and have virtual eye wear room, were you can try the glasses that fit you best.

The 3d technology brings the retail experience to your desktop and, as Igor notices, it’s too bad that no e-commerce functionality was integrated on the application. Nonetheless, it’s a great showcase of the technology. Now that we’ve managed to get hearing and sight, there’s 3 more to go: taste , touch, and smell. Interesting times we live in.
