Sexy Women - Playboys Most Famous Centerfold - Lenna Sjööblom

[harmony]

This thread is more for historic reasons, rather than a discussion of top shelf beauties
I would have thought Bo Derek would be up there as the most famous of Playboy models
But it is Lenna Sjööblom, who featured in Playboy, November 1972, who has become the most famous centerfold model

The original centerfold image was digitised by researches at the University of Southern California Signal and Image Processing Institute (SIPI) in 1973
Alexander Sawchuk, the assistant professor of electrical engineering was looking for a new image for a research paper.

It was at this moment — according to legend — that a colleague walked in with the November 1972 issue of Playboy
Seeing the predicament that the researches were in, he tore a 5.12-inch strip from the top of the centrefold and fed it to their scanner. As it had a resolution of 100 lines per inch, the resulting image was the perfectly cropped head and shoulders image 512 x 512 pixels in size.

This image has since been used widely in imaging processing circles
That’s because the nature of the image makes it amenable for testing a wide range of image processing algorithms.

The image contains a mixture of detail, colour, shading, focus, textures, reflections and flat regions that allow testing of multiple algorithms
These algorithms range from edge detection to denoising and even include shrinking the image down to the size of a human hair

Lenna was a guest at the 50th annual Conference of the Society for Imaging Science and Technology in 1997 where she gave a presentation about herself
Because of the ubiquity of her Playboy photo scan, she has been called the "first lady of the internet"

Another interesting piece of trivia is that Lenna's issue (November 1972) was Playboy's best selling issue ever and sold 7,161,561 copies.

Bo Derek

By 1984, Bo Derek was already the star of men's fantasies worldwide, thanks to her previous Playboy shoots and her breakthrough role in 10, alongside Dudley Moore.
It was when she posed as a cowboy sucking a cigar that men realized they'd be okay with a little role reversal and they'd love to be her "damsel in distress."

Issues: March 1980, August 1980, September 1981, July 1984, December 1994

Elle Macpherson


In 1994, Macpherson showed off the reason why her nickname is "The Body."
The cover showed the model in pantyhose and only "Elle" and Playboy in print.
The pose was a tribute to a famous photo of Brigitte Bardot from the '60s.
Issue: May 1994

Teri Weigal, and a 'virtual sex' DVD ?
You can select the camera angle and positions ?

Futuristic stuff
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is on board.

Brother A, it wont be long until we have 'virtual sex DVDs' with virtual reality headsets


Wearable & Affordable

The Oculus Rift delivers a high-end virtual reality experience at an affordable price. The Rift is also designed to be as comfortable and lightweight as possible for long play sessions.

The Rift resembles a pair of hi-tech, blacked-out scuba goggles, and comes with built-in headphones, a 3D visual display that stretches beyond the human field of vision, and a game controller to help navigate the virtual world
What made the device unique when it first emerged was that Luckey had all but eliminated latency while retaining high-quality graphics

Though the Rift will at first appeal mostly to gamers, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg outlined the broader potential of VR when he announced the $2bn acquisition in March 2014

“Imagine enjoying a courtside seat at a game, studying in a classroom of students and teachers all over the world, or consulting with a doctor face-to-face – just by putting on goggles in your home,” he wrote
