MIH Watch
It is the official watch of the Musée International d‘Horlogerie (MIH), the international museum of watchmaking, which is situated in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland. The watch is unlike any you may have met in museum shops. The MIH Watch personifies the mission of the museum, which is to convey to a broader public the importance of horology, and of mechanical watchmaking in particular.
The MIH Watch is not being produced by a watch brand on behalf of the museum, nor does it already exist under some other name. It has been designed from the ground up and incorporates a mechanism that you will not find in any other watch. The MIH Watch has a mechanical movement and its casing is fashioned from high-grade titanium.

Mario AI
You can see the path it plans to go as a red line, which updates when it detects new obstacles at the right screen border. It uses only information visible on screen.
At the “close call” situation: In this version of Mario, when you’re jumping while sliding on a wall, you jump backwards and upwards away from it. That’s what the AI did twice to get out of the hole. via http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~rb1006/projects:marioai
