“Diminished Reality” removes objects from video in real time!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you didn’t exist? Perhaps something a little less deep — what if that hub cap on the car wheel were different? What if the building didn’t have some garish box jutting out of the side? Thanks to some researchers at Germany’s Technische Universität Ilmenau, now we can answer at least two of the three questions above. (Sorry, we can’t help you with questions regrading your existence at this...

But hey, it’s motivation for myself to get out there and get crafty. Be sure to check out Chris’s other nerdy toom foolery on his Flickr...

LEGO Recreates: Inception the movie.

On a slightly lighter and less repulsive note than the Real Piggy Bank, someone has taken everyone’s favorite geek toy (Hint: LEGOs) and crafted them to depict arguably one of the best summer movies (another hint: Inception). Actually, it wasn’t just one scene, but several, created by Flickr users Profound Whatever and Ochre Jelly’s. Once you get bored of Inception-only themes (how dare you), be sure to step through the rest of the duo’s LEGO...
