Explore The World’s Largest Digital Photograph

Photographer Jeffrey Martin has successfully created the world’s largest photo. Taken of the city of Tokyo over the course of two days, the work is panoramic and measures a staggering 600,000 pixels.

For those looking for ways to behave greener at home, then Living Lights from the boffins at Electrolux will surely do the trick.  Living Lights is a system designed around a self-sustaining hanging plant ecosystem that generates its own power, yep an ‘earth battery’.   The Future is certainly looking a little brighter with thinking like this.

Leap Motion is a new technology device that enables the operator to control sounds, music, atmospherics and shapes on any connected device via gesture.
