Transparent Plane Will Be Flying Around In 2050
The futuristic concept for travel in 40 years time has been unveiled in London by planemakers Airbus - and it'll terrify those who already have a fear of flying. Passengers will be able to see everything to the sides and in front of them. So blindfolds might be handy come take-off and landing time.

Same Places In Different Seasons
The same place but in a different season, the same thing but at a different time… I thought it might be an interesting idea to see how the environment changes, colours differ and details hide or show up. Light and colours can give the same place an altogether different mood according to the seasons. Every season has its pleasures!

Interactive 360º 3-D Holographic Displays
The Graphics Lab at the University of Southern California has come up with a cheap way to create images in 3D space (as opposed to planar space) by using a spinning mirror called a light-field display. Basically high speed video is projected onto a quickly spinning mirror, which then "reflects a different and accurate image to each potential viewer." The system uses an algorithm to figure out the correct shading and occlusion for the image.Animal Fails

10 Common English Language Errors
Because English is such a complex language, it is fraught with traps that we all frequently fall into. With this list I hope to clear up at least a few of the confusing words we use every day. This is a list of some of the more common errors people make with English.
