“ALT/1977 fantasized about traveling back in time to the late 1970s with a pocketful of modern gadgets and turning the tech world upside down. These mock magazine ads incorporate superficial redesigns (wood grain and LEDs, anyone?) to keep people from getting too suspicious when stuff from the future starts showing up on store shelves throughout the free world.” via Retro Thing and ALT/1977

Third Person Reality

Ok, so I can understand the concept here and the probably social ramifications. I think that if I followed myself around this way I would probably be more apt to misbehave and observe the consequences while feeling removed.
From the creators Vimeo page:
“The virtual communities created by online games have provided us with a new medium for social interaction and communication. Avatar Machine is a system which replicates the aesthetics and visuals of third person gaming, allowing the user to view themselves as a virtual character in real space via a head mounted interface.
“The system potentially allows for a diminished sense of social responsibility, and could lead the user to demonstrate behaviors normally reserved for the gaming environment.”
Makes my geek side think…
check out Eric Testroete’s website that explains how he made his big head.
I also like Sarah McPherson‘s “low resolution”
The kind of product demo I would watch.

Not sure where this was filmed, but I can imagine the kids of the future laughing at this technology as they float away on their hover bikes.
I wouldn’t say this is funny but its cool
