Flight Artists
High-Speed Animal Flight Videos Show Hidden Aerial World
With good lighting and a little luck, amateur videographers can use inexpensive digital cameras to transform blurred flight into breathtaking glimpses of animal behavior.
In that spirit, a Dutch program called Vilegkunstenaars, or Flight Artists, sent high-speed video tools to amateurs around the world. The challenge: Capture nature in flight.
Over the course of a year, the contest drew 460 amateurs who uploaded more than 2,400 slow-motion video clips shot with their complimentary cameras.
I’m a tad envious of them. The prospect of having a professional-grade camera … (cue Homeresque power-drool)

New toy!
This is a hexbug larva, and yes, it looks a bit like a baby Ceti eel from The Wrath of Khan. It’s autonomous, so the redirection is happening on its own. What’s going on?
Little flashy infrared LED, with a sensor below it. (I used my IR webcam to film these shots). It’s intermittent, which I assume is to screen out any DC signal from background light and detect pulses in the same pattern.
Here’s the underside, where you can see the locomotion details. Not sure of the sex, though, or what happens when it grows up.
Random Video
This video shows why humans are terrible at generating random sequences. Why flipping a coin is different & introduces the concept of frequency stability.
'Tain't Funny, Mogees
Mogees is an interactive gestural-based surface for realtime audio mosaicing.
In this video we show how it is possible to perform gesture recognition just with contact microphones and transform every surface into an interactive board.
Through gesture recognition techniques we detect different kind of fingers-touch and associate them with different sounds.
OMG, that’s awesome.
The Roar of the Aurora
The video was shot at Kirkenes and Pas National Park in northern Norway — yes, northern Norway, around 70° north latitude.
