Random Video Findings

While looking at YouTube's most-viewed videos for the month, I came across two that I'd like to share.

The first one is of a guy who took a photograph of himself everyday for six years and made a video from them. The photos are shown in rapid sequence to some nice piano music - you can see how the guy ages over the course of six years. It's pretty neat idea, I think. Check it out.

The second link seems to be some sort of demo or advertisement for a new technology developed by Philips. Basically, the technology gives garments the ability to emit light however one desires. The only problem, in my opinion, is that the array of LEDs used to emit the light isn't too densely packed. This means the display is at a low resolution, which limits detail. Let me counter my own complaint with the fact that many garments probably tend to soften whatever light is shown through it. This is going to remove details, defeating whatever high resolution is used. So, basically, yea - I can't complain, 'cause I've defeated my own argument, I guess. Perhaps the density of the LEDs should be chosen depending on the garment? This would surely increase cost, but with increased detail there would be increased attention which may be beneficial, depending on the context of use. Ok, ok, no more digression. I've read articles about the technology in the past, but I'm sure most people would prefer to see it in action rather than read about it. Check it out.
