Google Glass x-Ray bodyscanner-app

Google is working on a “special app” for the new Google Glass (project Glass): a body scanner (“x-ray app“). That should be possible, the people, seen through the glasses, take virtually with semi-transparent clothes to something more closely. The principle is simple. Google can now detect and identify faces. It’s the same course with clothes. Software analyzes the garments and filter them out virtually. What remains of the person, as God created it.

VW – Like a boss.

Perhaps you have heard about the clever “Like a boss” campaign. Searching for “ultimate business car” the Google image search showed an amazing image campaign. First two pictures were a car – followed by the sloagn “like a boss.” The fifth picture shows the VW-Logo.  The campaign-video says: “Google didn’t flash us. We flashed Google – Like a boss”. Ok, funny thing. But how does it work?  The following describes it. Read on »

Google Glasses in art

There are many Google Glass parodies out there, but have you ever seen Mona Lisa with Google Glass? Leonardo hasn’t invented the glasses, but if he would live these days he would be certainly earlier with the glass than Google. Art itself is a kind of augmented reality. Here are some pictures of famous art masterpieces – with photoshoped glasses. Hope you enjoy :-) Read on »

Douglas Adams Doodle (Don’t Panic)

The answer to all questions ist … Everybody knows it – but did you know who gave the answer? It was Douglas Adams who wrote the novel “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy“. Douglas Adams was born on 11 March 1952. Google celebrates his 61st birthday with an interacive funny doodle. Doug Adams was an English writer, humorist and dramatist. Unfortunately Adams died in 2001. The doodle illustrates some scenes of the hitchhiker-novel – you have to click “no Panic” Button :-) Read on »

Google Glass infographic

I made an infographic on about “how Google Glass works”. As an artist I’m interested in visual perception, visual eyetests and glasses. So I checked out the patent (No. 212686, Aug. 2011) for Google’s Glass and made an infographic that explaines in an easy to understand way how it works. In conclusion it’s not a usual glass but more a kind of a projector that projects an visual layer over reality (augmented reality)  - directly on the retina. The main element is the semi-transparent prism. Of course Google Glass is an technically masterpiece because it combines a lot of stuff (camera, phone, CPU incl. GPS) in a very small enviroment. Here the infographic: Read on »

George Ferris Doodle (Valentin’s Day)

Google honors the inventor of the “ferris wheel”: George Ferris. He was born on Febr. 14th 1859 in Illinois, USA. Fortunatelly it’s Valentine’s Day today. So Google combines both, Ferris Birthday and Valentine’s Day – and the result is an interactive parship-slot-machine. If the user clicks the stop button two anaimals (human types) stops and a picture or short comics strips shows how their partnership would be. Really funny concept :-) Read on »

Frank Zamboni Doodle

Google honors Frank Zamboni with a cool interactive doodle on the homepage (only an Jan. 16, 2013). Frank Zamboni was born 111 years ago (Jan 16th, 1901). He was an inventor. He becomes most famous for his invention of an ice resurfacer, with his surname being registered as a trademark for these resurfacers. In the 1970s, he invented machines to remove water from outdoor artificial turf surfaces, remove paint stripes from the same surfaces, and roll up and lay down artificial turf in domed stadiums. His final invention, in 1983, was an automatic edger to remove ice buildup from the edges of rinks. Read on »

Happy Holidays from Google

Happy Holidays – from Google with a nice doodle (logo) – and from me. I wish you a Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Google shows on the homepage a nice doodle. It shows a lot of toys – seems to be all toys of the world that are on their way to Google-land. Looks a little bit like the Little Nemo Doodle. Of course I will show you in the article the last year’s Christmas-doodle. And – because many people like it – I present some german stamps – the “Christmas-stamps”. Enjoy :-) Read on »

Grimm’s Fairy Tales (Doodle)

Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm (Brothers Grimm) were German academics, linguists, cultural researchers, and authors. But they became worldfamous because they collected folklore. They are among the most well-known storytellers of European folk tales, and their work popularized such stories as “Cinderella“, “The Frog Prince“, “Hansel and Gretel“, “Rapunzel“, “Rumpelstiltskin“, and “Snow White“. Their first collection of folk tales, Children’s and Household Tales, was published in 1812. Google celebrates the 200th birthday of  Grimm’s Fairy Tales with a really nice doodle on the homepage. It shows the story of “Little red riding hood” (also known under “Little red cap“) as an interactive comic-style doodle. Read on »

Major changes in Google’s image search

The last weeks I observed many changes in Google’s image search. I usually focus on german image search but I also noticed some irritations on movements in the english / international image-search. Today I want to explain what happened in Germany – perhaps it may help to analyse other Google’s image-search versions. It’s allways like lost in the fog: are changes in the image search caused by changes to individual pages? Or has Google changed something fundamental to the algorithm? In Germany we have an “Image-Search Index“, called bidox. It oberserves the Top-100 positions of 5000 main keywords. Thanks to Ingo Henze for this free service. (What i describe in this article has nothing to do with the “porn-filter”!)
