3D concept for iPhone and iPad

I see great potential in this new free app for the iPhone and iPad. Just like the augmented reality app String, this actually shows 3D effects without use of glasses or special paper. Possibly a great tool to use for designers (architects?) or animators! Check it out here!

Arts graduates find jobs & satisfaction

Here is a good article about the perspective of the job market and outlook for graduating art students. I find it interesting that, statistically speaking, artists find more success and happiness when pursuing a career in the arts, breaking the old notion of "artists are a dime a dozen." As a graphic designer, it's somewhat true that one third of us are satisfied with our work but the average annual income for artists are satisfied with their position, which I find surprising. The following excerpt intrigued me:

"It's clear that we need to be doing a better job of preparing our students for the business realities that they face after graduation...every call for curricular reform has to address the zero-sum realities of what we must squeeze into a curriculum and what we can afford to leave out."

Digital Pottery Wheel

So this is a very interesting concept; making pottery without touching real clay. Unfold design studio shows how the concept works and it even has a 3D printer that produces the pottery with real clay! I definitely see a possibility for augmented reality collaboration.
