Project Live3D
Live3D is a web-based application that allows users to update the geometry and textures in Google Earth to see what the world looks like at this very moment. Users are encouraged to take one of the many outdoor webcam images and embed them three-dimensional space, constructing a scene with up-to-date images.
Live3D can also calibrate camera images and infer the camera's location and orientation. So, without leaving your desk, you can geo-locate and geo-orient a camera (usually to within a couple meters).

TeslaTouch
TeslaTouch infuses finger-driven interfaces with physical feedback. The technology is based on the electrovibration principle, which can programmatically vary the electrostatic friction between fingers and a touch panel. Importantly, there are no moving parts, unlike most tactile feedback technologies, which use vibration motors. This allows for different fingers to feel different sensations.

ShakeMovie
Princeton University researchers have developed ShakeMovie, a system that can quickly produce realistic movies of earthquakes based on computer simulations. The researchers hope that ShakeMovie can help scientists improve their understanding of earthquakes and develop better maps of the Earth's interior. "In our view, this could truly change seismic science," says Princeton professor Jeroen Tromp.
