Dancing in Movies
Found at sploid.
View at youtube for the complete list of movie clips.
This is such a great tease, you’ll want to go watch your favorite dance routines in their entirety.
from the page
Dancing on the silver screen has been happening since film was invented. From the big time musicals to the small quirky dances that pop up now and then. There are so many examples of dancing we could only fit 246 films in this cut, so a part 2 might be on its way for the 100+ clips we had left over. We hope you enjoy it as much as we’ve had making it and the Bee Gee’s ‘You Should Be Dancing’ never gets old.

Gravity – 3D Sketching
More at Gravity Sketch.
from the page
Gravity is a tool for creatives to quickly sketch their ideas in 3D space using immersive augmented reality.
A pen and a pad specifically designed for sketching in the augmented environment. Free from any screen or computer, Gravity allows you to focus on what really matters, developing your ideas in an intuitive way.
As you start to draw, objects will take shape in front of you. Through the landing pad controls, you can adjust the plane in which you sketch, giving volume to your creation. With augmented reality glasses, Gravity reinvents how you and your collaborators visualize and contribute to each other’s ideas.
The project started with a strong belief: the tools that are commonly used for drawing, designing and making things in 3D limit people’s ability to bring their ideas to reality. Through numerous prototypes, tests and iterations, we created Gravity as a simple and engaging tool that will shape a new wave of 3D creation.
