Google + Life Magazine

Portrait of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs posing with Apple II computer. United States 1981, Photographer: Ted Thai

Wow! Google has teamed up with Life Magazine to digitize 95% of their image bank, most of which has never been seen by the public before.

That's Right, millions of photos stretching from the 1750s to the present day are available on Google Images.

Here are a few of my favorites so far...

Bikini clad actress Jayne Mansfield posing with shapely hot water bottle likenesses floating around her in her pool. Hollywood 1957, Photographer: Allan Grant.
Reproduction of painting in chapel of St. Thomas of octopus attacking a ship, reminiscent of the Norwegian mythological sea monster, Kraken. St. Malo, France, 1920, Photographer unknown.

That's Right,

Human Locator

This crappy still image grab does absolutely no justice to Human Locator's awesome interactive visual system developed by Freeset and designed expressly for advertising.

Drawing on cutting edge computer visualization techniques to track full body movement in real time, it allows consumers to actively participate in and interact with the images.

This would be an amazing way to display a menu in a restaurant or as a map for an information kiosk- check out the demos over HERE!

Have a great weekend.

That's Right,
