Magnetic Rings

Gear  |  Projects
This is a project of making a magnetic ring, by Laurent Milon.
"This project is part of my diploma, which focused on creating shapes that would evade the limits of nowadays' industrial process, for they would be generated partly thanks to natural process. In this project, I tried to understand how a cheap material, iron powder, could be freezed and made attractive thanks to molecules of other precious metals..."

Swarm of Micro-Helicopters Could Create a Giant 3-D Display

Gear  |  Projects


Mechanical fireflies could help create a new kind of 3-D display, say researchers at MIT.
The project, called Flyfire, a project initiated by the SENSEable City Laboratory in collaboration with ARES Lab aims to transform any ordinary space into a highly immersive and interactive display environment. Each helicopter contains small LEDs, and acts as a smart pixel, the motion of the pixels is adaptable in real time. The Flyfire canvas can transform itself from one shape to another or morph a two-dimensional photographic image into an articulated shape.
“Each of the helicopters then acts as what we call a smart pixel,” E Roon Kang, the MIT research fellow who is leading the project, told Wired.com. “By controlling their movement, we can have the pixels flying through the air.”

Nuit Blanche, City of Paris Mirror ball, 1000 mirrors, 7.5 meters in diameter. "La Maîtresse de la Tour Eiffel" is the title of an installation by Michel de Broin.
The spectacular view of the starry sky has long been a source of delight and curiosity, but the abundance of artificial light in urban areas produces a glow that covers the stars in the firmament. The largest mirror ball ever made was suspended from a construction crane 50 meters above the ground to render the starry sky to the citizens of Paris for one night in the Jardin du Luxembourg during the Nuit Blanche event

Sleep Suit

Sleep Suit designed by Forrest Jessee. The suit acts as a transportable and adjustable cocoon that allows for constant air flow in a variety of different positions and environments. The sleep suit provides for a sound 30 minute nap.
The project attempts to challenge the idea of personal space in relationship to the human body and its surrounding environment. It is inspired by Buckminster Fuller’s practice of Dymaxion Sleeping, which involves four 30-minute naps over a period of 24 hours, and the material requirements for such conditions.
Architecturally, the very close relationship between the human body and the suit acts as the generator of form as well as tool to negotiate between the occupant and his or her surroundings. The structure of the material, a structural pleat, is used as a means to create feelings of connected and disconnectedness as well as provide varying levels of support for different parts of the body. By thinking of the cut pattern as sections of the body, the structure can act as a semi-permeable outer skin.

You have to Rock back and forth moves the game paddle left and right.  An LED display on the front lets you see how the game is going.
"The project uses the Lilypad Arduino platform to control game play, run the display, and communicate between devices. Patches of conductive fabric on the shoulders, hips, and cuffs of the shirts are used to create a serial connection between the Arduinos. An accelerometer attached at the back of the neck allows each player to control their game paddle by rocking their partner back and forth."
