NewsBlobs is an interactive environment based on real-time visualisation of Google News feeds.

Each news item is a living organism whose appearance and behaviour is driven by its own attributes, such as relevance, recentness and topic. It aims to represent the most recent and relevant news stories around you, in a visually informative and engaging manner.

NewsBlobs uses a natural interaction system based on the Kinect device, emancipating news feed reading from the desktop and chair.

I designed and developed NewsBlobs with my good friend Daniele De Matteis.
