Even though I don’t like sushi, the Super Sushi (Lego) created by LEGO fan, and a former LEGO Ambassador “Big Daddy” Nelson is super tasty.

AKQA’s website for the US Postal Service (USPS) uses augmented reality to allow users to work out what size of packing they need, saving money and reducing extra packaging. Users simply print off a 3D barcode from the USPS website and position it in front of a webcam. The Flash Augmented Reality Toolkit recognises the barcode as a placeholder and renders a model on top of it. The user can place their package on the printout and adjust the options to suite. Is this the first real world implementation of augmented reality that is actually useful and beyond a simple gimmick? I believe so.

What do you do when trying to increase awareness of the new AC/DC album? Naturally a viral is a cool way to kick things off and generate interested right? Facebook or YouTube would seem the natural habitat for such a campaign, yet think of the audience, how many have access at work? Hence the leftfield approach by the guys at Sony who choose Excel as the vehicle for the viral. Using a cool ASCII video written in VB script can only be called cool! With a million downloads and an unknown amount of email forwarding Excel has become cool.

Nearly fifty years on, Joseph Kittinger’s jump from the edge of space is still nothing short of inspirational and demonstrates how we can push the boundaries. Joseph Kittinger jumped from 102,800 feet and fell with a drogue chute for stability, reaching 614mph during his 4 1/2 minute descent.
