Highlighter Cartridge Troubleshooting from Bloom Farms on Vimeo.

If you are familiar with vape pens and vapor pen technology you have probably experienced an occasionally cartridge or battery malfunction. Nothing is more frustrating then not having your vape pen work when you need it.

At Bloom Farms we have a 100% guarantee on all of our products. If you have a malfunctioning cartridge or battery we will replace and exchange it at the place of purchase, no questions asked. The problem is that it is not always convenient to return to the store. In an effort to help our patients on the fly we have created this trouble shooting tutorial.

This video can help you trouble shoot common problems with replacement cartridges and batteries for not only Bloom Farms but any other brand that utilizes similar 510 thread technology. AbsoluteXtracts, O.pen Vape, and many more brands can be fixed using this same simple technique.

Programmable Droplets for Interaction from Tangible Media Group on Vimeo.

Description: We present a design exploration on how water based droplets in our everyday environment can become interactive elements. For this exploration, we use electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) technology as the underlying mechanism to precisely program the motion of droplets. EWOD technology provides a means to precisely transport, merge, mix and split water based droplets. We integrate EWOD devices into a range of everyday objects and scenarios to show how programmable water droplets can be used as information displays, interaction medium for painting and personal communication.

How We Killed The Green Screen from Michael Plescia on Vimeo.

But, green screen is an awesome tool, right? Not for one filmmaker.

Watch the story of why and how @MichaelPlescia had to reinvent filmmaking and visual effects and co-found an entire company in order to make his groundbreaking feature film, The Mop Liberator, even a possibility.

Are you at NAB right now? Come see #ARwall, the first viable alternative to green screen process for yourself. Use your own phone with the technology or selfie in front of ARwall, we are currently live-demoing the tech at NAB Las Vegas with #AMD at booth #SL8224 through April 12th, 2018!

See how Michael Plescia's vision for The Mop Liberator lead to the creation of a technology allowing the filmmakers to film their imagined cyberpunk world completely in-camera without a single green screen using ARwall, a visual effects compositing technology that combines bleeding-edge mixed reality screens with the oldest (and maybe best) tricks in the filmmaking book! Delves into the inception, development process, and production screen tests of the first ever real-time, in-camera, real-light, real-lens, perspective-adapting, mixed-reality, rear-screen, compositing technique.

No green screen. No post-production. When the light hits the sensor. It's a finished visual effects shot.

I trained a #GAN on 150 art collections around the world, and now this is what it thinks of me from Memo Akten on Vimeo.

I trained a #GAN on 150 art collections around the world, and now this is what it thinks of me. Also see vimeo.com/215514169

This is custom software feeding live (preprocessed) webcam input into a pretrained (deep learning) model, which is producing the output. Source code, model and more information coming very soon.

The model is a pix2pix conditional adversarial network (phillipi.github.io/pix2pix/). I used the tensorflow port github.com/affinelayer/pix2pix-tensorflow.

For training data, I scraped and preprocessed images from about 150 art collections around the world from Google Art on wikimedia commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Google_Art_Project_works_by_collection

Mataerial Introduction from Mataerial on Vimeo.

MATAERIAL is the result of the collaborative research between Petr Novikov, Saša Jokić from the Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (IAAC) and Joris Laarman Studio. IAAC tutors representing Open Thesis Fabrication Program provided their advice and professional expertise. During the course of the research we developed a brand new digital fabrication method and a working prototype that can open a door to a number of practical applications. The method that we call Anti·gravity Object Modeling has a Patent-Pending status.

Riding Light from Alphonse Swinehart on Vimeo.

In our terrestrial view of things, the speed of light seems incredibly fast. But as soon as you view it against the vast distances of the universe, it's unfortunately very slow. This animation illustrates, in realtime, the journey of a photon of light emitted from the surface of the sun and traveling across a portion of the solar system, from a human perspective.

I've taken liberties with certain things like the alignment of planets and asteroids, as well as ignoring the laws of relativity concerning what a photon actually "sees" or how time is experienced at the speed of light, but overall I've kept the size and distances of all the objects as accurate as possible. I also decided to end the animation just past Jupiter as I wanted to keep the running length below an hour.

The World's First Raspberry PI 3D Printer from Owen Jeffreys on Vimeo.

This video briefly outlines the building and testing of a unique, home-built, 3D printer which uses a Raspberry PI as its "brain" or CPU.

If you Google (or Bing!) Raspberry PI 3D printer you will find several people who claim to have made "Raspberry PI *Powered* 3D Printers", but if you examine them in detail, they are not actually *powered* by the Raspberry PI at all. These people use the standard firmware which comes with the 3D printer and replace the PC interface with the Raspberry PI - hence the PI is not controlling/powering the printer at all, but simply sending buffered GCODE commands to the pre-built printer and acting as a neat user interface to display print progress etc. This unique 3D printer is not like those; the PI actually controls every part of the machine including, but limited to the motors, heaters and temperature sensors. The 800MHz PI runs the time-critical (virtually real-time), dedicated program with great ease making it possible for a 3-dimensional, plastic (ABS or PLA) model to be printed layer by layer.

This 3D printer was designed and built as an individual, level 3, engineering project, chosen by me as I owned a PI and wanted to do something useful and unique with it which would help people who dismiss the PI to realise that it is capable of a lot more than they could possible imagine. It was a very challenging task covering a whole range of engineering fields. Almost every part of the 3D printer was made from scratch, including, but not limited to, the circuit board, the aluminium framework, the drive system and the C++ program to run on the PI.

The PI can be hooked up to a HDTV or laptop to display the print progress and other useful information, or it can run completely stand-alone. The 3D printer runs at around ¼ speed compared to a typical, hobby 3D printer (e.g. RapMan, Cube or Touch), taking around 25 hours to print a 60mm high chess piece – the speed only limited by the stepper motor choice and gearing.

It took approximately eight months to complete and would not have been possible without the help from family, friends, teachers and instructors. In particular, the help from an exceptional teacher and project supervisor, Laurence Hyett, was invaluable and very much appreciated. Although this 3D printer works, the project is not entirely complete - there is still room for improvement. One such improvement which is underway is to modify the interface board used to connect the PI to the 3D printer from a hand-etched, double-sided PCB to a compact “shield” which will stack neatly on top of any PI. Faster print speeds and a twin print head are also being considered.

Any common 3D CAD package can be used to create a 3D model which can be sent to the PI to be printed, alternatively a 3D model from a collection of many thousands can be downloaded from Thingiverse for free. The test piece in this video was designed by me using a professional 3D modelling package widely used in the CG film world, but there are a number of cheap or even free packages which are just as good. I'd personally recommend "Blender" for those that are interested, as it is a completely free, open source, community contributed project which is unbelievingly powerful (personally, I'm not sure why it is free, but that's another story!)

Thank you for the interest in my project, I hope you enjoy the video. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to comment. Please accept my apologies for the poor quality time-lapse chapter of this video, but I could not bear to leave my DSLR unattended for 25 hours, so I used a cheap webcam instead.
