Love this! A proposal/concept to improve/simplify the alphabet as we know it. First presented in 1950, by Bradbury Thompson, it seems to remain, however, just an(other) idea.
From the source:
To remedy this, Alphabet 26, a plan based upon the logic of consistency, proposed that of the 19 letters that have dissimilar symbols 15 letters should use the uppercase designs [black letters below] and 4 letters should use the lowercase designs [green letters]. The other 7 letters already have identical symbols [blue letters].
The departing premise for such a solution, was the idea that, being the alphabet one of the ultimate objects of (human) design, it clearly/seemingly violates the principle of constancy/consistency, by having two different ways of representing the same symbol/sound.
In other words. Having, actually, 2 alphabets, instead of one (and 45 symbols to represent 26 letters).
High quality, high-def, 360º cycloramas/panoramas made for Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. By Yanick Dusseault.
The, now defunct (?), Project Looking Glass still holds (the good) promise of a more 3D(ish) desktop environment.
Tentative, hybrid, Manhattan representation/projection, that does away with the horizon, by curling/curving space to yield the best result, from the vantage point of the beholder.
A visualization/mapping technique that "screams" to be used in other/different contexts.
Modular electronics for the masses. Bringing this approach to the physical world allows for easy(ier) assembly/programming, and thus, effectively, lowering the entry barriers for the uninitiated.
Plus.
All the modules are also open source.
Now almost anachronistic and/or "superseded" (in a way) by the tactile input interfaces of today, it remains, however, an alternative input method with potential (future and present?) niche applications.
Dubbed Haiku, an ongoing open-source effort to keep BeOS, and all its design virtualities/philosophy, alive (albeit indirectly).
Beautifully designed timepiece, specifically made for each different latitude and longitude. Based on Franz Ritter's gnomonic projection map.
By William Andrewes.
Football kits of yesterday and today, painstakingly rendered by talented designer. The level of detail/quality is usually awe-inspiring.
