Five, even six would be ok, but if take another one of those creatures into the field I’ll be cleaning actuators and lookin’ at these links all night. Where’s my grease gun? Futuristic Graphic User Interfaces – I’m eating this stuff up. Cool futuristic UI design and how to make them using good ol’ Photoshop.…

It is here folks. Yes, very soon, a fate better than sandy shorts and blistered skin will wreak havoc upon Orlando, Florida. The 3D modeling mass of SolidWorks users will join their compatriots in the massive gathering of SolidWorks related products, information and technology lovingly known as SolidWorks World 2009. It’s time to prepare, bribe…

Have you ever seen pictures that move? I hear they call it ‘Video‘ or something. I also hear that there are some snazzy ‘video’ demos of the new SolidWorks 2009 functionality at a place called ‘the YouTube’.

Sounds kind of personal to me, but I checked it all out and I think you’ll like what you see. In fact, I’ve been told I can ’embed’ them into this post. Now that sounds dangerous, but I’ll dare to do it anyway, just so you can have a peek at what’s in ’em.

After this, be on the lookout for more moving pictures from the mysterious YouTuber only know as FFequals66.

Of all the things you could use to get from point A to point B, the best and most obvious choice for the future, I’m convinced, will be the Jetpack. Martin Aircraft Company is making sure of this with the first mainstream jetpack to hit the market.

Efficient personal transport is certainly a hot commodity these days. News and video have been circulating about this fancy contraption, but what we’re most interested in is how and with what it was designed. But first some gritty details.

I see you wavin’ your hands around like your folding laundry, but that imagery floating around you is just all kinds of freaky… OHhhh, those are holograms and your moving them around with your knuckles and those sensors in your hands. I shoulda known.

It’s here. Obscura Digital is using their multi-touch technology along with the Musion Eyeliner 3D holographic system to get an on-stage interactive display that will boggle the senses.

The first and obvious use for this is presentations that will keep you more entertained than any motivational speaker could ever hope to. A bit to involved for the like of us CAD people ya think? There’s no haptic feedback and there would be the whole projector, software, IR setup that could get a bit pricey. Still, it’s a move closer to moving 3D stuff around in free space without the need for a mouse and keyboard. Video after the break.
