Jellyfish are majestic creatures. When displayed with some colorful backlights, the animal’s translucent body and natural bioluminescence can be a visual delight, and they make for popular exhibits at various museums around the world. The folks at Cubic Aquarium know how cool jellyfish can look in your home, so they created a tank with built-in, color-changing LED lights to bring the best out of your new aquatic pets.

It’s also worth noting that, in particular, the Pulse 160 tank looks just like an iPhone laid sideways. Check out those near-invisible bezels!

The tank holds 46 gallons of water and can keep up to 15 large jellies, so you can pretend they’re floating app icons swirling around your screen.

Air France is introducing a new airline for millennials called Joon. Launching in September, Air France said in a statement that Joon will be “aimed at a young working clientele, the millennials (18 to 35 year-olds), whose lifestyles revolve around digital technology.“ How do they plan to do that? Why, with an “innovative and offbeat” experience, of course.

Although there are scant details about any in-flight services that might cater to a more digitally minded group, Air France has released images of what the crew’s trendy-casual and Instagrammable outfits will look like. The blue-and-white colorway with sneakers, ankle pants, blazers, and buttoned-up polos are reflective of the new airline’s chosen buzzy marketing words, including…

When it came time to design their first restaurant, Media Noche, San Francisco entrepreneurs Madelyn Markoe and Jessie Barker found themselves lacking inspiration. Their designer had asked them for ideas and they felt like “deer in headlights.” Ultimately, Markoe says, they came up with a single instruction: “We wanted to be Instagrammable.”

For years now, Instagram has sat at the center of trends in food and beverages. Rainbow-colored “unicorn foods” are often designed with Instagram in mind, and entrepreneurs responsible for popular treats like the galaxy donut and Sugar Factory milkshake often see lines around the block after images of their products go viral. Firms like Paperwhite Studio specialize in turning restaurants into…

Picture a building, maybe even one that you know fairly well. Now picture how it looks from the inside. The more you think about it, the harder it is to get the full scope of the building, right? There’s no way to see all of its constituent parts without sawing the thing completely in half. Or, you could just let computers do the work.

That’s how a company called Oddviz created the psychedelic video you see above of the Sofa Hotel in Istanbul. Using a photography technique called photogrammetry, they were able to cohere every nook and cranny of each room into one complete visualization (and, if you don’t mind grinding your browser to a halt, interactive 3D model) of the hotel using nearly 10,000 photos.
