You can view the video, watch a short documentary about how it was made, interact with the video in 3D, download some of the data, and download an iGoogle theme and gadget - all at http://code.google.com/radiohead.

The band was making a new video, but they weren't using any cameras, just lasers and data. As you might imagine, we were intrigued.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/no-cameras-no-lights-just-data.html"><DIV>The song is called “House of Cards,” from Radiohead’s recent “In Rainbows” album.  In this new video, there were no cameras on set. Instead, two scanning technologies were used to capture 3D images. <A href="http://www.geometricinformatics.com/" linkindex="4"> Geometric Informatics </A>scanning systems produced structured light to capture 3D images at close proximity, while a <A id="tapp" href="http://www.velodyne.com/lidar/" linkindex="5">Velodyne LIDAR</A> system that uses multiple lasers was used to capture large environments such as landscapes. In the video, 64 lasers rotating and shooting in a 360 degree radius 900 times per minute produced all the exterior scenes.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/no-cameras-no-lights-just-data.html"><DIV>Whether you're a music fan or a developer (or both), we agreed with the band that it would be great to give you a deeper look into how all of this was done, and even a chance to play with the data yourself, under a license that allows remixing.</DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/0913493C-57CA-4985-B1F9-3B4BDB0237DC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
