A few days back Apple released native support for HDR photos on iPhone 4. Now a San Fransisco based studio by the name Soviet Montage Productions have created the first HDR video using two Canon 5D mark II DSLRs and a beam splitter to capture the exact same subject on both the cameras. The team said, "The cameras are configured so that they record different exposure values, e.g., one camera is overexposed, the other underexposed. After the footage has been recorded, we use a variety of HDR processing tools." The output is simply astounding on all levels! sovietmontage.com via vimeo.com Permalink | Leave a comment  » - wythtech

The concept of 'Multi-touch' in gaming began with the iPhone and gradually moved on to other devices, finding its place in the industry. This is the next level! UMass Lowell Robotics Lab student Eric McCann hacked a version of the control scheme - “DREAM” (Dynamically Resizing Ergonomic and Multi-touch) that was developed by Mark Micire, to create a version that runs on the Surface and provides all of the functionality of a physical joystick (for games) through multi-touch interaction. By simply placing five fingers on the table, the joystick is dynamically re-sized and oriented to the user's hands automatically on every hand placement. It can also be moved to any position of the screen by dragging the index and middle fingers. The video below demonstrates Microsoft's Flight Simulator and Valve Corporation's Portal controlled exclusively through hand interaction on the tabletop. via youtube.com Permalink | Leave a comment  » - wythtech

Betaworks, a technology incubator in New York is teaming up with The New York Times to introduce a social news service, News.me. John Borthwick, chief executive office at Betaworks said, “We’re building something wonderful and amazing in the social news space." Mr. Borthwick’s company has helped nurture services like TweetDeck, a popular desktop client for Twitter, Web tools like Bit.ly, a URL shortener and Chartbeat, a real-time Web analytics service. It has been in the works for the last six months and is expected to be out sometime later this year, Mr. Borthwick said. It will initially debut as an iPad application, although a Web version may be introduced at some point. A cryptic placeholder for the service went live, yesterday. Mr. Borthwick would not say exactly how the service would work, but he hinted that its name should give some indication. via bits.blogs.nytimes.com Permalink | Leave a comment  » - wythtech
