A common principle of studio photography, and fine art before it, is the use of “key” lighting to illuminate the subject. Often, the key light is placed at a 45-degree angle above and to the side of the subject. This goes back to the days of Rembrandt, whose art showed fading light across the face and a triangular highlight on the cheek of the opposite side. In this photography studio, FT Architects has built this “Rembrandt Lighting” right into the architecture, by creating a large soft box of light angled down toward the studio’s center....

The Microsoft Project HoloLens has been revealed after five years of development under the codename “Project Baraboo”. It’s an idea that was born in a brainstorm session during Microsoft Kinect development, and it’s one that its inventor was given the opportunity to run with. Creator Alex Kipman could now be a household name in product dev circles, as this “moonshot” of his own is now receiving global interest.
