Using cosmic particles, scientists can now see what’s inside the pyramids

Despite having been around for thousands of years, we still don’t know much about what Egypt’s pyramids hold. Because of an archeological imperative to preserve the pyramids, researchers can’t simply bust down the walls to gain access to their hidden chambers, according to the BBC. However, a group of researchers has reached a breakthrough that could grant them an inside look using an X-ray-like technology to scan the interiors of pyramids.

OPINION: The year is 2026 and I am 16 years old. This is a day in my life

On a regular day, I wake up, put on my VR goggles, then I check my friends’ Snapchats. Snapchat has moved on from old-school ‘smartphones’ to VR. Now we watch our friends’ Snaps in 360° video as if we were looking at the world through their eyes. All the celebrities I follow vie for attention with full vlog episodes of days in their lives, but I’m pretty sure most of them are faking it. I heard a rumour that most of them just employ people to film interesting videos of a lavish lifestyle for the attention and then claim it’s coming from their goggles.

I know, It’s probably super weird for you guys to hear this, but Kanye West is one of the most popular vloggers in the world right now. He’s actually grown sick of his egotistic personality and now he strives for realism and honesty in his vlogs.

Limp Body Beat

Weird webtoy by @samrolfes for Adult Swim is a 3D musical sequencer using some odd levitating blobbly ragdoll:

… Its’s drum machine sequencer, which is traditionally a 2D grid where you click on different boxes to make beats, but I took that and made it 3D and is played by flinging around fleshy ragdolls around the environment, colliding into sample cubes that play the various sounds.

You can try it out for yourself here

360 To 3D Easy Photogrammetry - Art Display by walkaboutworlds - 3D model

This is the largest and most complicated room yet that I have tried with my 360 to 3D easy photogrammetry conversion software for Virtual Reality. This is from a single 360 pano given to me with permission to use from http://virtualsweden.se . Working on this revealed a lot of areas where the work flow could be made a lot easier and where I need to handle different shapes better. There is still a lot of work to do, but I am making steady improvements. To follow the progress of this software, follow my facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/walkboutworlds
