Zen Tools by Giulio Parini
After taking a shower and when the bathroom becomes filled with steam, use the zen tools to decorate and play with the foggy mirror. Cool idea from here

Don't depend on rollovers
Look at a site on an iPad, iPhone or in fact any touch device and you will notice the rollovers no longer work. Yes this is pretty obvious, touch has no hover state, but it means that if you are relying on this to let users know that they can interact with something it's not going to work on a touch device and you users will become confused and frustrated.
A good example of this is Light box. On a touch device those little arrows that indicate you can click on the left and right of the image no longer appear. So users who have never seen this before don't know they can interact with the image to see more. Another example is mystery meat navigation, suddenly this becomes impossible to understand and requires wild guessing to navigate.
As more interaction takes place via touch devices we can no longer depend on rollover states to inform users of how they can interact. Sure we can still use them, but just don't depend on them.

Blurring reality and fiction: Theoretical Block by Aron Lorincz
Theoretical Block by Aron Lorincz from Dezeen on Vimeo.
I love the concept behind this, this kind of subversion of reality.

Wimbledon Mobile App
Nice integration of augmented reality, although the app looks a little complicated - feature bloat?
