Here’s a first: playing a 3D version of Tetris on a water-based display. That’s right, “researchers at Carnegie Mellon University have found a way to create three-dimensional images using a projector and layers of water droplets.” Video after the break.

The water drops in curtains, while the projector switches up what’s being displayed on each layer, creating volumetric 3D that, because it exists in actual 3D space and not on a screen, doesn’t even need glasses.

That’s right, this incredible LEGO robot plays the game of Tetris autonomously. The setup “consists of a camera, a TI DM6437 DSP board, and a three-finger NXT robotic hand (that presses the keys on the computer keyboard).” Video after the break.

To create this incredible, Tetris-inspired building projection, Obscura Digital “modeled the entire space in 3D and then created media for it in 3DSMax.” Continue reading to see all seven HD projectors in-action.

Never mind the marketing purpose, this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I think of it as using 3d graphics gear to make the real world look like video games, instead of using 3d graphics gear to make games look like real life.

That’s right, “if you happen to be wandering the streets of Sydney, you can find these oversize, illuminated Tetris block sculptures floating over your head as you walk through the narrow corridors of Abercrombie Lane.” Click here for first picture in gallery.

Further exploration revealed that Giant Tetris (aka “One More Go One More Go”) is actually part of an outdoor art exhibition called Live Lanes – By George! which runs through January 31, 2009.
