Today Massive Attack releases their new album! Great news and the album has been spinning all day long on my Spotify. In UK – a super nice company called UnitedVisualArtists is worth checking out, they did some animations for Massive Attack’s live show 2008.

It’s weekend –  so I chill. I listen to Galaxy and enjoy just being.  Regarding just being.  Read this:
“When mind knows, we call it knowledge.
When heart knows, we call it love.
And when being knows, we call it meditation.”
Being simply is.  So… enjoy the music!

LM3LABS – have truly interesting interactive technologies that is worth checking out… and today they reorganize to be clearer in their offer to the market. I have followed LM3LABS for quite some time and really like their products and services. Good luck guys!

And…of course  - MIT – has a very futuristic bus shelter called the EyeStop. Public transport will be so much more fun in the future…

Virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality. Interactive presentation technology is moving fast. It seems to me - that Germany is ahead of things – already at the edge of new technology with new companies popping up and doing amazingly creative work. So: another new innovative company from Frankfurt gets my total attention (and love) - NewMedia Yuppies (what a great company name! haha I wanna be your Yuppie!). They work with Frauenhofer Researchers and Instant reality.  Well worth checking out these links!

But ok, I do love Germany and their innovative companies. Also:  a New Zeeland company called MindSpace Solutions, have some innovative people and products as well. Check out this amazing AR binocular technology! It rocks my socks!
