This little video appeared on the blogs a couple of days ago, remember we posted up the Neurosonics Audiomedical Labs Inc. video a wile ago. Well it’s only turned itself into a live stage show, with the help of some clever holograms. Not many details yet as to when we can see this but it looks like it would be a hell of a show. Only one beatboxer mapped as yet, Beardyman. But more are to come for sure, and rest assured I will be first in line for tickets for this show.

Some photographs of the VitraHaus, by Swiss architects Herzog & de Meuron, which has opened at the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany.Looks like a stack of houses… love it.

Astronaut Astro Soichi on board the international space station (ISS) orbiting the Earth has posted some photographs on Twitter.
