Multi Touch Screen Turntables

I was really taken with this degree show project by Gergwerk. It’s an interesting and well developed interface that uses touch screen technology to emulate the traditional dj turntables. What’s great is the way the interface is so visual and very tactile (despite being a flat screen!). I can see a new era of djs who create new and interesting mixes with devices such as this in the future.

Google Art Project

A truly mind blowing site that you can easily spend a whole afternoon on, Google Art Project takes you on a  virtual tour of some of the great museums collections of the world. You have the option to view individual works of art in detail, which before was only possible if you where there in the museum with a magnifying glass. I have just been on a virtual tour of the Palace of Versailles and felt like I had been miraculously transported to there. Only a visit to the museum itself would give a comparable intimacy to the setting and the works of art.

Fancy a Qwiki?
