JB's Friday 5

Hello Friends,

The week is almost done, look what you have achieved. Go you!

#1 – Paper Airplanes

I feel like paper planes aren’t nearly as common as they used to be, and I am going to change that! This site details some of the best paper planes ever created, and gives you the instructions to replicate them yourself. So raid the printer and get folding.

#2 – Big Nose

This is a pretty cool piece of tech. A giant nose that can sniff whatever you put under it and then print out a description. All run on a tiny little raspberry pi computer.

#3 – E-Reader Glasses

You might have seen the announcement of the Apple Vision Pro VR/AR goggles. Well these aren’t them. On the low tech end of the spectrum these glasses are just an E-Reader built into some glasses so you can block out the real world and you can fully immerse yourself in your fantasy book world.

#4 – Capcom 40th

Capcom (the company behind titles like streetfighter and mega man) turns 40 this year and have put together this awesome little site. It has all kinds of interesting bits and pieces but the coolest parts are the playable retro games.

#5 – Unhinged UI

User interfaces generally have some thought behind them, these conceptual UI “Features” might have too much thought behind them.

O.K.

That’s it.
