Mozilla Tilt: A New Way of Visualizing the DOM http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/9881/tilt-hacksmozillaorg-demo

Tilt represents a new way of visualizing a web page. I can it being a great tool for new developers to understand the DOM and the box model in particular. This tool creates a 3D representation of the document, with the purpose of displaying, understanding and easily analyzing the DOM. It is a firefox extension using a WebGL implementation to provide a rich user-experience, fun interaction and useful information, while taking full advantage of 3D hardware acceleration.

The implementation consists of a Firefox extension containing a 3D representation of a web page, as both a fun visualization tool and a developer-friendly environment for debugging the document's structure, contents and nesting of the DOM tree. Various information besides the actual contents will be displayed on request, regarding each node's type, class, id, and other attributes if available.

TRON: LEGACY is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), a rebellious 27-year-old, is haunted by the mysterious disappearance of his father Kevin Flynn (Oscar®- and Golden Globe®-winner Jeff Bridges), a man once known as the world's leading video-game developer. When Sam investigates a strange signal sent from the old Flynn's Arcade—a signal that could only come from his father—he finds himself pulled into a digital world where Kevin has been trapped for 20 years. With the help of the fearless warrior Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-or-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe—a universe created by Kevin himself that has become far more advanced with never-before-imagined vehicles, weapons, landscapes and a ruthless villain who will stop at nothing to prevent their escape. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™ and scored by Grammy Award®-winning electronic music duo Daft Punk, TRON: LEGACY hits U.S. theaters on Dec. 17, 2010 in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D.

Sony 360-Degree Display Prototype http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/7885/sony-raymodeler-a-360-degree-autostereoscopic-display-prototype

Sony's 3D ambitions don't end with 3D TVs and the PS3. This cylindrical concept can be viewed from all angles, and will be at Tokyo's Digital Contents Expo this Thursday. The prototype is about 10.6-inches tall. It only supports a 24-bit, 96 by 128-pixel stereoscopic color image right now, but you don't need glasses to see the 3D effect. I just hope this can bring us one step closer to hologram-like TVs.

TEDxEdges - Open Titles http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/7708/tedxedges-open-titles

Sneak peek of new Adobe Photoshop CS5 technologies http://mitchmckenna.com/items/view/5800/sneak-peek-of-new-adobe-photoshop-cs5-technologies-wwwcs5org

The video shows a selection of features that are being developed by Photoshop Labs, including Painter-style brushes, a new warp tool and more. Do you see the 3D elements that have been thrown in? The wire frame, the joints (the kinematics!), the simulation of a paint brush's tip... it's really quite crazy.
