Calorie Bombs Hidden on Chain Restaurants’ Secret Menus: A man walks into Chipotle and tries to order the “quesarito” (a burrito wrapped inside a quesadilla). The woman behind the counter tells him she doesn’t know what that is and that it doesn’t exist, but if it did, it would be available between the hours of noon and 1pm. Welcome to the world of secret menus at chain restaurants: The corporate offices can deny their existence until they turn blue in face, but exist they do. Perhaps the most famous secret menu item is In-N-Out Burger’s “animal style” fries, which come with melted cheese, grilled onions, and a huge ladle of Thousand Island dressing. You won’t see these items listed anywhere, but if you ask in the right way at the right time, you might get lucky.

Anyone who’s traveled to popular touristic sites knows the feeling of being caught in the crossfire of countless camera lenses—the annoyed (and annoying) jockeying to capture the perfect shot…which in most cases looks exactly like everyone else’s.

Prototype Real / Digital Info Interface System
Using projection and gestures to create interactive relationship with information - video embedded below:
Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a next generation user interface which can accurately detect the users finger and what it is touching, creating an interactive touchscreen-like system, using objects in the real word.
“We think paper and many other objects could be manipulated by touching them, as with a touchscreen. This system doesn’t use any special hardware; it consists of just a device like an ordinary webcam, plus a commercial projector. Its capabilities are achieved by image processing technology.”
Using this technology, information can be imported from a document as data, by selecting the necessary parts with your finger.
