Disney Imagineer Builds First Step Towards Actual Holodecks [Video]

This is a video about Lanny Smoot, the first Disney Imagineer to be inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame. The first part tells us all about his career at Disney and some of the inventions he worked on. However, the last part is what is truly interesting. Watch as Lanny introduces us to the HoloTile floor, an omnidirectional “treadmill” that can support multiple people at once. As you’ll see, this could be the first step to a true Star Trek type holodesk experience.

Professor Brian Cox Decodes the Intricate Beauty of Snowflakes in Beautiful Stop-Motion Animation

https://youtu.be/jjI_mqcM_4w?si=3_ZOiR02e676wrzT

Renowned physicist Professor Brian Cox recently lent his voice to explain the complex science behind snowflakes in a stop-motion paper animation for The Royal Society. Explaining their unique beauty, Cox revealed that gravity guides their descent, electromagnetism shapes their hexagonal forms, and symmetry captures the human brain’s fascination.

Highlighting the universal laws governing snowflakes’ structure, Cox drew parallels with celestial bodies, emphasizing the inherent connections in the cosmos. The pleasing symmetry of snowflakes, each being radially symmetrical, resonates with the human brain’s appreciation for order and balance.

In a surprising revelation, Cox debunked the myth that snowflakes are white. Clear in reality, the multitude of edges within their intricate designs scatters light, creating the illusion of a pristine white appearance.

Behold the Abomination That is The Furby Chaos Bag

Prepare to be disturbed as Spanish bag and accessories designer Enrique Puente unleashes his latest creation upon the world – the Furby Chaos Bag. Furbies, with their uncanny ability to straddle the fine line between adorable and monstrously ugly, have become a cult favorite for those who appreciate the unsettling charm of the uncanny valley. Puente took this fascination to a whole new level with the creation of the “Furby Chaos Bag.”

Crafted in tan bull smooth leather and white shearling, with contrasting white stitching and black edges, reusing old Furby toys; mixing saddle-stitched and machine-sewing techniques.

As far as I’m concerned, this bag is an abomination, and for once, I consider this a good thing! Watch as the Lovecraftian creation talks and pulsate to the rhythm of multiple beating Furby hearts.
