Sony glass tile prototype - YouTube
november 2011
Experimental prototype system from Sony in 2007 of a cellular display with glass tiles each representing a content type that can be laid on it. Upon doing so, the square of display under the tile becomes a specific kind of interface that can be interacted with, such as a video player, possibly with a physical attachment to the glass tile. When several are laid down next to each other, content can be moved "between" them.
A very unusual and interesting idea. It's a shame it never took off at all.

Rendering Synthetic Objects into Legacy Photographs on Vimeo
november 2011
"We propose a method to realistically insert synthetic objects into existing photographs without requiring access to the scene or any additional scene measurements. With a single image and a small amount of annotation, our method creates a physical model of the scene that is suitable for realistically rendering synthetic objects with diffuse, specular, and even glowing materials while accounting for lighting interactions between the objects and the scene."
