Jason Fried has a decent take on the new Apple personal party glasses, the Vision Pro, in terms of it being (so he reckons) about seeing things. It’s about the point of view (POV). You could see how a sculptor sculpts because you’re looking with him. From his

It’s that time of year again. The leaves begin to slowly brown and you feel hints of a shiver as you see them begin to lay there dead and shrivelled on the pavement. It’s the same time of year where I’m confronted with having to pay for

If there’s one thing that intrigues me, it’s how different things work in different parts of the world. Let me illustrate this with elevator and waiting room etiquette. If you live in the US or the UK, and you step into an elevator or into a waiting room,

Meta’s Horizon Worlds didn’t really go anywhere. Microsoft recently scuttled AltSpaceVR and cut the hamstrings of HoloLens and even Disney got into the hack and slash game with apparently ditching their whole Metaverse department. Things aren’t looking good in the VR and mixed reality world at the

I had the good fortune (and Alpine connections probably) to get to talk to Pascal Mueller the founder and brains behind Procedural who make one of the crazier bits of design software I’ve gotten my hands on CityEngine which you can use to design cities from the street and

The Pervasive Monuments project is in full, almost incomprehensible swing, and the swirling mass of ideas, issues and things to consider seems to multiply by the second. We’ve been looking at is the notion of a monument, or rather, a digital or “pervasive” monument as not just a static
