Now, when you find the bucket, you must do this. Jump in and out 5 times. At that moment, you’ll find yourself in a land of small shrubs, which smell of bread pudding and shoot these links into your eyebrows. Tyler Edlin Mr. Edlin creates worlds. Worlds that play hopscotch with your subconscious and then…
It’s not projection so much, as it is a video which run across hundreds of screens mounted to the side of the Beurs van Berlage exhibition and concert hall in Amsterdam. But it’s mapped perfectly to the facade of the 4 story, 19th century structure. This was put up in May, but if you haven’t seen it yet… here it is.
Smart Components automatically put features into parts when you mate them into assemblies. They take a little bit to set up, but the results simplify a lot of repetitive modeling and external references. Then there’s the issue of working with them in Large Assemblies. Nothing tells how to man-handle them…

Not so for the researchers at UC San Diego. While they’re not researching researchable research, they’re building cool tech to make it easier. In a recent adventure, they went to Wal-mart, bought a Samsung 3D TV and set it up in the lab with a mirror projecting back into the screen and a Novint haptic feedback controller. The results are a heads-ups VR display that allows direct interaction with the image.

This video shows the yet unreleased SpaceClaim 2010, and an actual sheet metal part with 10,000 holes. An order of magnitude less, but still impressive. I’m a little more convinced, but can’t wait to spin up SpaceClaim to see the pure hole-punchin’ power it’s capable of.
