AUDI AG presents new technology magazine in Encounter series



How will we get around in 2050? What can cars learn from fish? Through spectacular images and fascinating stories, the Audi Technology Magazine takes an in-depth look at these issues and more. Taking center stage are the people behind Audi technology: the inventors and creators, the technology experts and meticulous perfectionists.



The auto industry is currently facing what will likely be the greatest technological change in its history. “I have been in the automotive industry for over 30 years, and things have never been as exciting as now, or so challenging,” says Michael Dick, Member of the AUDI AG Board of Management in charge of Technical Development. Connected cars, electrification, increasingly efficient combustion engines and lightweight design – these are the challenges facing Audi development engineers day in and day out. They are also the main themes of the Technology Magazine.





“The passion of each of our employees is – and will continue to be – the sustaining force behind our proverbial ‘Vorsprung durch Technik’,” Development Chief Dick stresses. The Audi Technology Magazine presents the people behind the technology, their day-to-day activities all the way from high-tech to handcraft, and their visionary ideas. In the first issue, for example, readers will discover how developers are reinventing Audi’s core area of expertise, all-wheel drive. And what engineers are learning from schools of fish.



Even the medium itself is high-tech: augmented reality (AR) blurs the boundaries between print and streaming image, between photo and video. A number of images in the magazine feature an AR logo. When readers scan these images with the camera in their smartphone or iPad, the mobile device identifies the photo and automatically launches the corresponding video. Images go from static to streaming, and portrait pictures become interview scenes.



“We are making technology come alive. Our ultimate goal is to create a publication that is accessible to everyone,” says Toni Melfi, Head of Audi Communications. Charts, animations and infoboxes guide readers through the magazine, and a glossary explains complex technical terms for laypersons. An Audi Technology Portal DVD is also included with the magazine. The portal provides in-depth information on numerous Audi technologies, presented in multimedia format.



The Audi Technology Magazine is the third edition from the Encounter series, which also features the Audi Sustainability Magazine and the Audi Environment Magazine. The Technology Magazine will continue to provide regular reports on new developments and technologies of the Audi brand.



Information and videos on Audi Technology Magazine are also available on the Web at: www.encounter.audi.com

A variety of photos from a blog about Hollywood celebs of 1920-1960 and their mansions and homes

The movie set for the Hunchback of Notre Dame 1924

President Taft, 1909 tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood
 it's a two door... not very commonly seen, and looks small

This horse and buggy were abandoned when the horse died. No one ever came back for the buggy, or to dispose of the horse carcass.... that is mighty strange

"Van Go" the most talked about van in years, and Coby, the publisher and photographer of one of the few awesome independant magazines




 It's a 2 year project, and this year was it's debut. Not just the coolest van we'll see for years to come, it's also a travelling office so Coby can display and sell hie magazines and t-shirts at car shows
None of the woodwork inside has any right angles. It's very smooth and pleasant to contemplate it's looks and use

 I've got 3 or 4 of these, and they are worth the money, just terrific photography. The one on the lower left is made up of photos taken at Fremont dragstrip between 1960-1964 by his dad, and stuffed away in a showbox in his dad's garage for 40+ years. That is family treasure.

Coby was given the front AND back of the newest issue of Rod and Kulture. effing awesome! Run out and buy a copy quick, you'll love it, and the photos throughout the magazine are far better than anything I've taken, quite a few are professional photos taken in studios. Perfect work. Enjoy!
