Controlled Quantum Levitation Wipeout
In quantum field theory, the Casimir effect and the Casimir–Polder force are physical forces arising from a quantized field. The typical example is of two uncharged metallic plates in a vacuum, like capacitors placed a few micrometers apart, without any external electromagnetic field. In a classical description, the lack of an external field also means that there is no field between the plates, and no force would be measured between them.

Disco Breaker HTML5
Microsoft Istanbul and Bedük (a famous Turkish pop star (in Turkey)) have teamed up to create the Disco Breaker experience showcasing IE9‘s HTML5 features.
The trailer is Turkish, but I think you’ll get the drift of how the experience will play out.
It certainly looks like a pretty sweet piece of HTML5 action, but I can’t actually tell because I’m not running IE9.
Oh well.

Sony Holodeck Type Thing
Using a variety of visual tricks, including projection mapping, props, and motion-tracking, Sony have managed to bring to life a sort of crazy virtual “holodeck” experience. The series was produced on behalf of Sony Europe by Studio Output and Marshmallow Laser Feast to promote the PlayStation Store. All three clips were shot in real-time, with zero edits or post-production. Everything you see was an optical effect seen through the lens of the camera. Impressive work, if not a little tenuously linked to the Playstation Store…
Aside from these films as ads, and the overload of projection mapping we seen to still be experiencing, it’s pretty interesting to think about how this kinda tech might soon start to make its way into our homes for gaming and movie consumption.
