Kid = Never ending Demand For NEW Toys! This equation holds true in all homes, however designer Frantz Lasorne has an excellent project for us that gives a second lease of life to the existing toy collection. Called Augmented Reality, the project combines the joys of virtual reality, imagination and tangible toys. Using Augmented Reality Tangible User Interface (AR TUI) via head-mounted glasses, loads of imagination and old toys, a new environment is created that allows a child to live his fantasies.
Google Voice is a service that gives you one number for all your phones, voicemail that is easy as email, and many enhanced calling features like call blocking and screening, voicemail transcripts, call conferencing, international calls, and more.
Google Voice is currently available for GrandCentral users only, but will be open to new users soon. In the meantime, please leave us your email address and we’ll notify you as soon as Google Voice becomes available. To learn more about Google Voice, check out our feature videos.

If you’re a camera of photo geek, you might know of Vincent Laforet. In case not, he’s a pretty cool photographer that’s ventured a bit into video. His latest project is a some surf footage. Shot with a RED ONE with an adapter for EF lenses and a Canon 5D II. Putting a 500mm/f4 on the RED gives you aprocimatly 1600mm (field of view calculated for 35mm), pretty darn long. Also some parts are shot from a RC helicopter as well. The RED ONE delivers amazing HD footage of up to 120 fps.
