  • A robot designed to scratch your itch? Oh, and here's a palm laser so that you can be like

  • Iron Man.

  • VSauce, Kevin here. This is Mind Blow.

  • A multi-touch LCD wall was rigged to play Fleet Commander - a real-time strategy game

  • developed at the electronic visualization laboratory. It's a Star Wars game and watching

  • these kids play it reminds me of Ender's Game.

  • Watching this Tetris Master reminds me never to think I'm good at Tetris again.

  • And watching this might make you barf. It's the steepest RollerCoaster in the world. It's

  • located in Japan and has a 43 meter drop with a 121 degree freefall.

  • To cool off after the ride visit the Japanese Frozen Aquarium. It showcases 450 specimens

  • of marine life frozen in ice and illuminated with blue light.

  • "Hey, I'm wearing an episode of the Simpsons." You certainly are, sir. You certainly are.

  • The world's largest photo is on display at the Culver Center of the Arts. The 32x111

  • foot photo was taken with the world's largest camera... Which is an abandoned aircraft hangar

  • with a 6mm hole in the side that functions as the aperture.

  • Perhaps the most complicated way to take a photo is with this Rube Goldberg machine.

  • It took about 6 months to put together but the results are well worth it...Check it out...

  • After all that work, relax in the Hammock House. It's a five story hangout spot in Vienna

  • meant to serve as an oasis of relaxation. And outside of it is umm..this...

  • Here's some levitating water. It's not a video effect. This real, steady stream of water

  • has a strobe effect on it to make it look like individual floating droplets.

  • And this is Flashed Face Distortion Effect. The pictures of these women are not altered

  • in any way. But if you stare at the cross in the middle as the faces flash, their images appear to

  • stretch and distort in a freakish manner.

  • Finally, an

  • epic animation referred to as Little Nemo, from exactly 100 years ago.

  • I'm gonna leave you with

  • a riddle.

  • There are two animation and three video game references in this video. The first person

  • to name them all will be our genius of the week. So good luck and, as always,

  • thanks for watching.
