Perks of the Silicon Valley job

So we have all thought of that "Google" job, that position at one of the fastest growing, most high tech position, situated in the centre of the tech kingdom. Or moving out to Pixar or Dreamworks to pursue a career as an animator working on the next cinematic classic, but.......

What are my perks?

3D assets into legacy photography - quickly


This looks fantastic, A quick photographic matching tool for inputting 3D objects / animations directly into photographic scenes. This tech needs to be extremely easy to use, as you could see this being used as an API for consumers to use to use and postion 3D content within real world environments. This could be coupled with some AR API tech to develop better realtime model matching tools.

We have seen elements of this before a few times, however I do like the way Kevin has created the lighting matches and shadow cast algorithms. These additional levels of detail allow the final result to look far better and far more real than any other system has been able to generate.

Ifttt.com - coding without coding!

I have just set up some coded links with:

"if this then that.com" - ifttt.com



I love this site, its a really simple tasker-based site, that allows users to create links between the thousands of the sites and accounts we have online.
Things like:



Facebook > Dropbox

Where you can quickly set up a script to download any tagged photo of you and put it into your dropbox.

Weather > Email

Where the site will check for a particular state of weather on your favorite weather site, then email you when this is active, ie. If it starts raining!
