Impressive iPhone App of the Day: After 2-1/2 years of development, Quest Visual has finally launched “Word Lens,” an iPhone app capable of translating signs in real-time.
QuestVisual founder Otavio Good explains:
It tries to find out what the letters are and then looks in the dictionary. Then it draws the words back on the screen in translation. The translation isn’t perfect, but it gets the point across.
This is fucking amazing!

Mind-Blowing Kinect Hack of the Day: Oliver Kreylos of UC Davis takes Kinect hacking to the next level by transforming the sensor device into a (nearly) fully-functional 3D video camera (taking into account the obvious spatial limitations of the static box).
Make sure to check out this supplemental video in which Kreylos compares the sizes of 3D objects to their real counterparts to show that they match.
