Restless bats is a set of 5 table tennis paddles made by Troika. These paddles were created for an event at Barbican Art Gallery in London to celebrate Ron Arad‘s restrospective. The event was a table tennis tournament with a twist, you should use these paddles based in Arad’s desings.

The paddles are a collection of 5 sets but there are two very interesting. Rover, a paddle build from original Rover P6 V8 Car parts. Ping Pong, a paddle with leds which shows PING in one way and PONG in the other when you swing it.

The series of animations appear to be physics tests quite possibly for a game… Or maybe a film? Ubisoft CEO Yannis Mallat has recently made some pretty interesting statements about the convergence of film and video games. It is only a matter of time before the boundaries between the two become seemless.

Aircord labo‘s last experiment is amazing. They have developed a pyramid screen which with a special film so when an ipad is placed on the top a 3D illusion is created so you can see the object in the physical space .
