aperture is a facade installation with interactive and narrative displaying modes. Consisting of an iris diaphragm matrix, the facade's surface with its apertures' variable opening diameters is enriched by a dynamic translucency, that creates new imagery as well as a new channel for communication between inside and outside.

Multi-Touch

Multi-Touch-based devices reminds you of the movie 'Minority Report' where we saw Tom Cruise grabbing, stretching, swiveling and sliding virtual objects across interactive wall monitors.

Multi-touch sensing enables a user to interact with a system with more than one finger at a time and is already used in Apple’s iPhone for scrolling and picture manipulation.

Instructional Videos

With so many buzz words like like Twitter, Web 2.0, RSS, Wikis, WordPress, PodCast, Delicious etc. making the rounds of Internet it has become increasingly difficult to keep pace with whats happening around. How do one understand them and use it to their own benefit.

There is a different world altogether with people using these technologies and have benefited from it. But for us its still a new word, a new technology, a new concept.

Well to make these concepts simple we have instructional videos posted by some really intellectual people with an open heart.

Most of the videos are posted by CommonCraft guys.

There is youtube too which is widely popular. But the above sites focuses more or teaching.
