Final Service Industry Poster

A poster I propose for my zine magazine. (A0 Print poster BLACK+WHITE only)
It's basically about how somebody from the past in the 1950's would feel concerned about the service industry of the future, and also how we from the present can appreciate how much better the service industry was in the 1950's. I was so heavily influenced by Russian Constructivism with the layout of this poster.

KINECT! HACKED WHY POST HERE?

Perhaps it seems strange posting this news here, but with my thirst to be cutting edge, to be dynamic with design.

I can see the future of being able to use a kinect in a installation which with the use of processing language and visuals we will be able to interact on a new level with the art we are viewing.. much more interactively than matt pikes Nokia, ambient media installations. 

the Kinect is 150pound kit which is able to 3d map environments, on XYZ! it is able to perceive depth which has until now been impossible for the consumer market.

Originally developed by Israeli military technology, it was brought to the consumer market.

Apple wanted to tie this up in so much privacy and DMCA etc rights that the company who produced it then moved onto Microsoft. I CANT WAIT ONEDAY TILL THIS IS HACKED FULLY SO WE CAN PAINT, USE THEM IN INSTALLATION ART, AND INTERACTIVE DESIGN. 

NEWS SO FAR WITH REGARD TO HACKED DRIVERS!

LibFreenect - Open Source PC Drivers for Kinect

>> Marcan released the first Open Source Drivers for Kinect:
[QUOTE]
Horribly hacky first take at a Kinect Camera driver. Does RGB and Depth.

main.c implements a simple OpenGL visualization. Hopefully it should be mostly self-explanatory... You pretty much just open the USB device, call cams_init(dev, depthimg, rgbimg), and your depthimg and rgbimg callbacks getcalled as libusb processes events.

TODO:
- TONS of cleanup. I mean LOTS.
- Proper buildsystem (CMake probably)
- Determine exactly what the inits do
- Bayer to RGB conversion that doesn't suck
- Integrate support for the servo and accelerometer (which have already been reverse engineered)

BIG TODO: audio. The audio chip (the Marvell) requires firmware and more init and does a TON of stuff including the crypto authentication to prove that it is an original Kinect and not a clone. Who knows what this thing does to the incoming audio. This should be interesting to look at.[/QUOTE]

CUSTOMER SERVICE is down the drain!

Disappointed with how everything is becoming a wash of digital assistance from online robotic customer service rule based solutions, to ticket machines, to having to check out your own grocery, take your own trolly back. I wanted to highlight this problem from the perspective of the 1950's when customer service, and the whole customer is always right perspective.

Vintage Watches.

It may be no secret I LOVE WATCHES!
People say... oh you don't need a watch in this day and age due to being able to tell the time on your phone.. I totally disagree! Watches are something which in my family, and I hope for generations to come in my family will be passed down, and handed from son to son.

Right now.. Im really keen on owning a vintage stylised watch.. and for that the are only two types of watch which are sticking in my mind....

ORIS - the brand has had huge success while sponsoring sports events around the world and have released a watch called Oris Vintage 70's Limited Edition.

Beautiful Watch clearly representative of the 70's period.

OKEAN(OCEAN)
A russian branded watch, which was used on the first space missions, beautiful and also iconic of the early 70's design period.

Both Watches have very beautiful period designs and priced closely around each other (900-1400$)

I really don't know which one to purchase. Any IDEAS?

If you have one of these watches and would like to donate it to me.. please get in touch;)

How weird was people from the 1950's ?
