Posted: March 15th, 2010 | Author: Dana Pascu | Filed under: Misc | Tags: , , | 2 Comments »

We’re all really proud of our second Augmented Reality project at Kinecto so I must share the next video with everyone.

My non-romanian readers should note that this AR code is found only on the Avon Romanian anniversary book so all you can do is check-out the demo:

Avon is world leader on the beauty product direct sales market. It has more than 45,000 employees and sales exceeding $10 billion in more than 100 countries, through 5.5 million representatives. In Romania, Avon is operating for 13 years. It is market leader on the direct sales segment since 2002.

Super Mario Trends for 2010

Posted: February 9th, 2010 | Author: Dana Pascu | Filed under: Misc | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

A group of five students at Politecnico di Milano, Italy has studied 5 of the biggest global trends, communicating them through this video by french team member Octave de Gaulle.

“A trend book proposal made for Politecnico di Milano Pssd Course, Presenting the results of the research, this video use Super Mario World’s language to introduce you 5 trends! For those who like Pixel Art, NES and f***** frame/frame work!”

I find it awesome and it’s too bad we can’t play it for real :)

Ranting about the Apple hype

Posted: January 27th, 2010 | Author: Dana Pascu | Filed under: Misc, Trend | Tags: , , | 2 Comments »

I know from the start that lots of people are going to hate me for the next paragraph. I’m asking nicely: Please don’t.

Today a new Apple product was launched. Its name sounds like a hygiene product. For the next days I won’t be able to walk into any room where there won’t be people talking about it. I sincerely lost my confidence in all those who adopted it instantly just by seeing a photo and reading some mediocre technical specifications. There are already some voices defending it like it’s some kind of a “fragile infant”, not being able to take any criticism.

That’s why I have to express my lack of compassion for the Romanian fellows I know and to whom Apple has worked its mastery of the hype machine once again:

“You will bow down at our altar, and you will buy. You will bow down at our altar, and you will buy. You will bow down at our altar, and you will buy. You will..”

Here’s some coverage from Zelist Monitor, unfortunately available only in Romanian:

“Apple” si “iPad” in ultimele 7 zile:

“Ipad” la 2 ore de la lansare:

“iPad” la 16 ore de la lansare:

De ce e viata ca o pizza

Posted: January 26th, 2010 | Author: Dana Pascu | Filed under: Life, Misc | Tags: , , | 6 Comments »

  • Merge foarte bine cu berea
  • Fiecare isi pune in ea ce vrea
  • Cateodata ti-e pofta dar e prea tarziu in noapte
  • Uneori trebuie sa dai la o parte ce nu-ti place
  • Trebuie sa-i dai ceva si aluia care ti-a dat-o
  • Cate-odata nu primesti ce iti doreai
  • Cu cat o imparti cu mai multi cu atat te-alegi cu mai putin
  • Indiferent cat costa nu poti renunta la ea
  • La sfarsit nu ramai decat cu cateva bucati de paine uscata. Daca esti destul de disperat sa le mananci, ramai doar tu si o cutie maro.
  • E imposibil de returnat pentru ca primesti inapoi fix acelasi lucru.
  • Iti face foarte bine doar daca esti norocos, mergi la sala si cu n-ai prea multa imaginatie
  • Trebuie sa treci de jumatate ca sa te prinzi daca iti place

Si lista poate continua..

What is love?
