Jeff Han demos his breakthrough touchscreen

Remember that movies like Batman and Iron Man 2 (which sucks) that they use this touchscreen computers?

The future is very near… This guy Jeff Han shows us this glass table that is a touchscreen computer, so no more mouse, CPU or a physical keyboard. This sound kind of cheap right? Well Jeff said that it is :D

I imagine myself using one of this new computers for design and I think will feel like painting a landscape. You will feel more proud of the result :P (Ok I think I need to sleep…)

I'm sorprised how technology is growing so fast!!!

Magazine Art Direction for the iPad

After seeing this video I'm kind of craving for an iPad.

This video talks about the Art direction of e-magazines. I want to go to best buy grab an ipad and interact with a magazine!

So like the song video killed the radio star…e-magazines killed the printed magazine, but I rather printed magazines, because after reading you can make crafts with them :D

Anyway… is so atractive how magazines are creating stuff for the reader to interact with the magazine, I think that they want to make the reader feel more a part of this magazine, with all the "animations".

Also is very cool that magazines are giving job to people that work in web related stuff, so this is giving more work to people :)

In a future I want to read my Nylon mag on iPad :D

Here is the video :)
