Swedish developer Martin Ström, filmmaker Ruben Broman, and photographer Erik Wåhlström have teamed up to create a unique filter system for your iPhone images, using a real-world 1-inch CRT monitor. InstaCRT takes a typical iPhone camera image and instead of applying a software filter, it sends the photo to a machine in Sweden where it's projected onto a 1-inch CRT screen (from a VHS camera)...
We've seen three dimensional virtual workspaces before, but Project T(ether) is one iteration that has actual potential to be applied in the real world. Created by the Tangible Media Group at MIT, Project T(ether) utilizes an iPad and motion capture technology to produce a virtual environment for object creation and animation. The rectangle attachments found on the gloves and iPad are tracked by Vicon motion capture cameras — the same used by companies like Industrial Light & Magic for CG animation — to enable object and visual perspective manipulation in real-time. The 1:1 mapping is achieved with the help a server that transfers the data captured by the cameras to one or more spatial displays. A consumer-level version of Project T(ether) is likely a pipe dream, but its potential as a tool for 3D animators seems like a no-brainer.

Google+ doesn't get much respect right now, thanks in part to reports that sign-ups are high but engagement is low. These reports don't seem to phase Google's VP of Product Management for Google+, Bradley Horowitz. Rather than worry about matching...
