What's New

*** IMPORTANT! ***[For current Closet 1.x users only]Some users have reported an issue where calendar events are not being migrated over. I've fixed the issue, submitted the new update to Apple, and requested an expedited review (which may or may not happen). To avoid losing any calendar data I would hold off on updating until the 2.0.1 update is released.I'm deeply sorry for this issue.********************Totally redesigned and rebuilt from the ground up, integrating over 4 years of feedback from the community.• iPhone 5 & retina support (finally).• High-res photo support for your items.• Bulk import for photos.• Bulk camera capture for photos.• Add items, outfits, and notes to the calendar.• Add notes to your items and outfits.• Add tags to your items and outfits.• Add content quicker by accessing common options from the new main menu.• Search/filter your categories, items, and outfits.• Add subcategories.• Rearrange items and outfits into any order you wish.

The future of interfaces often looks just like the present, but in neon.

When Ubisoft announced Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon on April 1, everyone assumed it was a joke. Retro, 16-bit style, and a plot set in the "futuristic year 2007" all indicated a prank built on nostalgia for videogames from the 1980s. But the game appears to be real, retro-futurism and all.

To design Far Cry 3, the artists had to create a computer interface that would look futuristic in the 1980s, even though the story is set six years ago:

Of course, the 80s wasn't the only era for ridiculous sci-fi interfaces. The Awl has a great piece on how Minority Report's interfaces, which seemed so futuristic in 2002, were just a fancy packaging of already-existing technology.

Here are some other cool interfaces from science fiction:

Magi, a trio of supercomputers from the anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, are shown here in the process of being hacked. If only cyber threats were that easy to spot!

This image comes from the anime miniseries AD Police, a cyberpunk detective story made in 1990.

A computer that prints out what looks like electrical schematics on receipt paper.

Here is a image of a backlit keyboard from 1988's Akira.

All these animated .gifs come from the "Futuristic User Interface" tag at VisualPunker's tumblr. There are plenty more to check out.

No início do ano a Microsoft impressionou muita gente ao revelar o IllumiRoom, um conceito que pretendia aumentar a imersão nos games ao levar as imagens para fora da TV. O primeiro vídeo mostrado era digno de nos deixar de queixo caído, contudo, aquilo era apenas a ponta do iceberg e se você quiser ficar realmente boquiaberto, dê uma olhada na nova demonstração divulgada pela equipe de pesquisa da Gigante de Redmond.

Com pouco mais de cinco minutos de duração, é difícil descrever todos os momentos que me fizeram esboçar um sorriso e já perdi as contas de quantas vezes assisti o vídeo, que de acordo com a empresa foi gravado em tempo real e não possui nenhum tipo de efeito de pós-produção.

Talvez o mais incrível seja a maneira como as imagens projetadas se encaixam naturalmente com aquilo que é exibido na TV, nos fazendo esquecer que existe uma estante ou diversos objetos no lugar, aumentando consideravelmente o campo de visão e principalmente, servindo para deixar os jogos aparentemente muito mais divertidos.

Veja por exemplo os trechos em que o “cenário” em torno da TV treme devido a uma explosão, as balas voando pela sala ou mesmo o jogo de corrida que nos dá a sensação de estar nevando a frente do jogador, inclusive com os flocos de neve se acumulando diante da estante quando ele dá ré ou se movendo em sua direção conforme o carro é acelerado.

Enfim, se essa tecnologia se tornar real e quem sabe, já for adotada pelo sucessor do Xbox 360, que está prestes a ser anunciado, eu não tenho a menor dúvida de que irei querer ter algo assim na minha casa. O único problema será adquirir uma mesa de centro para colocar o projetor =]

O plasma é chamado popularmente de 4º estado da matéria. É o estado físico do fogo, dos relâmpagos e não tem nada a ver com sangue. De curiosidade científica virou tecnologia de monitores de tela plana, mas por ser extremamente quente plasma costuma ser trabalhado apenas no vácuo.

Agora um grupo da Universidade do Missouri conseguiu o que chamaram de Santo Graal da Física: desenvolveram um gerador de plasma que produz anéis de plasma ionizado, lançando-os em pleno ar. Esses anéis utilizam a energia do próprio plasma para gerar um campo magnético de contenção, que sobrevive por 60 cm.

Literalmente é um canhão de plasma. Veja o vídeo:

Essa tecnologia é a base de dispositivos para geração e transmissão de energia, e como o projeto está sendo bancado em parte pela Marinha dos EUA, há boas chances de ira pra frente, mas mesmo como está já é uma bela demonstração de que não há problema de engenharia insolúvel se você aplicar dinheiro suficiente.

Time Travel in Movies Mr. Dalliard This flowchart contains spoilers!

This infographic by Mr. Dalliard documents the nature, logic, and scale of time travel in film. Most of the terms are straightforward, and then there's the "Novikov self-consistency principle." Developed by a Russian physicist between 1975 and 1990, it asserts

that if an event exists that would give rise to a paradox, or to any "change" to the past whatsoever, then the probability of that event is zero. In short, it says that it's impossible to create time paradoxes.

Neat! Next up: finding a physicist to explain why the first three Terminator movies all follow different time travel logic.
