Violet has produced a friendly Wi-Fi bunny named Nabaztag that works with the internet to bring users weather updates, air quality and traffic reports (Parisian, that is), e-mail alerts and pick up signals from other networked bunnies. The Nabaztag is a spoken and musical messenger that personalizes information intake as its tummy lights up.



In the Mod is a website that takes a selection of well-known artworks and breaks them down according to the hundred of thousands of colours used. These are then distilled into a more manageable palette for designers and developers today. These colour analytics take into consideration the frequency of colours used and allow one to create variations by using linear algebra.






Retrievr is an experimental service that allows users to search through Flickr image files by drawing a rough sketch of the image one is searching for.
