Konstruct for iOS creates generative augmented reality art with your voice

If you have an artistic temperament, but you weren't blessed with steady hands or an eye for color, Konstruct might be the app for you. Not only does the iPhone app let you produce generative art using words, warbles and whistles, but it also uses augmented reality to bring your artistic creation to life.

To get started, you first need to print out the Konstruct marker and place it wherever you'd like to create your AR sculpture -- it could be on your living room wall, or on the floor of your bathroom, it doesn't matter. Open the app, point your iPhone at the marker, and start making some noises! Once you're done, you can save your creation, or simply wipe the slate clean and start again.

The volume of your voice affects the size of the shapes that are drawn on the screen, and you can move your head around to alter the path of your 'brush' -- but to change the shape of your brush or modify the color palette you have to use a menu. Without knowledge of the app's internal workings, it's hard to say what the actual difference between whistling, talking and singing is -- and judging by the developer's affinity for whistling in the demo video (after the break), the app probably doesn't perform that much analysis on your input.

Still, Konstruct is just a prototype! A later version could do away with menus and rely entirely on the location, tonality, quality and amplitude of your voice -- and judging by the the words of the developer, James Alliban, there is definitely more in store for Konstruct: "The idea of transforming entire cities into user generated virtual art galleries really appeals to me. I see Konstruct as an early prototype that will hopefully be realised in this form in the future."

Download Konstruct for free from the App Store (iPhone 3GS and 4 only)

Dovizioso: The competition is very strong, but I believe we can achieve this aim

New Ducati's rider Andrea Dovizioso arrived at the Wrooom 2013, the traditional Press Ski Meeting that takes place at Madonna di Campiglio. On his press conference to the media, Dovizioso talked a lot about the main goal on Ducati. 

Ducati needs to reduce the gap to the other factory team, Yamaha and Honda. It's difficult but not impossible. Dovizioso said that the first year will be challenging and he should work harder.

Andrea Dovizioso

"It's an honour to be here at Wrooom. It's all organized perfectly, and it's a great opportunity to get to know the Ducati staff better and meet many new friends. I was convinced to join Ducati in my first meetings with Filippo Preziosi because he made it clear that there are interesting plans for the future and that we can start to build something important together. We have the help of budget, technology and passion, all the ingredients necessary to attain our goals. Obviously, it will be up to us, the technicians and riders, to take the right path on where to improve the bike. If we work well, I'm certain that it will be possible in the future to fight for wins and the title. The competition is very strong, but I believe we can achieve this aim. It won't happen right away, but we can do it. There's no magic wand, so we have to-and we want to-keep our feet on the ground and work methodically. If it's possible to achieve good results, I'm sure that we will. The first year will be challenging, but we mustn't allow ourselves to be pressured to immediately get good results."

20 Things That Happened on the Internet in 2012 in One Glorious Image

Because the Internet has such a short memory and moves at such a breakneck pace, it's hard to remember what happened on it in any given year. Like was Rebecca Black a 2012 thing or a 2011 thing? (Hint: it was 2011) But if you consider yourself an advanced Internetter, you should have no problem figuring out the 20 things that happened in 2012 that are depicted in this image. Right? More »

Ronda Rousey does a pretty good ?Honey Boo-Boo? impression (VIDEO)

Even if you don't watch the TLC show "Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo," you've probably seen some highlights of Alana, the pageant princess turned into television sensation, and her family. It turns out that UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey does a pretty good impression of Honey Boo-Boo.

Rousey even gets in a dig at "Cyborg" in the end, most likely referring to Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos, not her husband Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos. (Too many Cyborgs.) Rousey has called out Cyborg in the past, but the former Strikeforce featherweight champion has maintained that she can't cut down to bantamweight.

Before Rousey can worry about who she'll fight next, she has to face Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 for the ultimate grand supreme bantamweight title.
