Beacon
Beacon
Gear  |  Projects
What's this, the big lamps on the floor? A project uses an array of emergency beacon lights. Beacon is a kinetic light installation with a mind of its own. An array of emergency beacon lights interacts with visitors, tracking their movement through the space, creating an immersive and playful experience. By Chris O'Shea and Cinimod Studio.
"The installation exploits a transfer of technologies from existing industrial products. The beacon lights have had their internal parts replaced with custom hardware, enabling the rotation of the reflector and lamp brightness to be individually controlled. Thermal imaging cameras have been adapted to track the participants' movement through the space.
Beacon is orchestrated in real-time by a bespoke control system, which uses tracking information from the cameras to coordinate an interactive and highly responsive behaviour." Electrical Design and Engineering by White Wing Logic.

NavJacket - Integrtaed Navigation System With LCD Display on Sleeve
NavJacket
Gear  |  Sport
The NavJacket(EUR 1200) has integrated GPS and a database of the 600 ski resorts in Europe and the U.S and a small display is embedded in the sleeve. The GPS and control keys are in the upper left shoulder, It is not only a navigation system, but also record where you went skiing, share points of interests, an accurate measure of your speed and "friend finder" function(if several people wear this jacket). I like this function!
"The NavJacket guides you through the montains using a guiding arrow located in the sleelve area. It obtains its routes and points of interest(POIs) via a Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone. You can create the routes yourself, or donwload them from navjacket.com. Once the jacket has loaded the routes and the waypoints into its memory, you can also use the Navjacket without a mobile phone. Simple select routes or POIs on your sleeve and the arrow in the sleeve will guide you to your destination. You can also select statistics you wish to view and record your own route or tag your favorite sport with one push of the sleeve - mounted button."

ThisWay Bicycle by Torkel Dohmers
ThisWay
Gear  |  Concept
"ThisWay" bike concept by designer Torkel Dohmers, really Cool! It is built of flax fiber and carbon fiber and includes a solar rooftop panel for assisted recumbent cycling. It has built-in LED lights front and rear(powered by its rooftop solar panel), and also a "luggage connector" at the rear that you can plug-in your luggage(briefcase, helmet box or rack for shopping bags).
"A comfortable pedal powered bicycle with weather protection. Emphasis is on automotive qualities in the design, to attract non-cyclists who currently rely on cars and motorcycles. Another selling point to attract more potential cyclists (particularly here in Europe) is weather protection - ThisWay has a roof.
Built from composite materials (carbon or flax fibre) and some hydro-formed aluminium, this vehicle is very lightweight (approximately 11-12kg). It has built-in LED lights front and rear, powered by a rechargeable battery obtaining its power from roof mounted solar cells. For minimum maintenance ThisWay's built-in belt drive is well protected and all cables are hidden within the frame.
The car-like ergonomics offer a riding position lower than a traditional bike to keep a low centre of gravity and optimal aerodynamics.
The design has simple controls for ease of use; a single hand brake lever and hub gears type Torpedo Duomatic providing Low and Hi gear.
The rear of the frame has a "luggage connector", where the user can plug-in his/her luggage (e.g. briefcase, helmet box or rack for shopping bags). The design also benefits from flexibility and comfort for riders of different sizes; the crank set and seat is adjustable in length and height. A "hybrid" version (pedal power/electric motor) is possible and additional battery pack plugged-in into the luggage connector will extend the range further.
Although this design is more expensive to manufacture compared to its traditional rivals, it is still just a fraction of the price of a car and virtually zero in running costs..." Click 2 enlarge!

Inside-Out Teddy Bears
Inside-Out Teddy Bears
Gear  |  Toy
The inside-out teddy bears, by Kent Rogowski. I love them!
"Bears, is a series of portraits of the most unusual sort: ordinary teddy bears that have been turned inside out and restuffed. Each animal's appearance is determined by the necessities of the manufacturing process. Simple patterns and devices never meant to be seen are now prominent physical characteristics, giving each one a distinctly quirky personality: their fasteners become eyes, their seams become scars, and their stuffing creeps out in the most unexpected places. Together these images form a topology of strange yet oddly familiar creatures. They are at once hideous yet cuddly, disturbing yet endearing, absurd yet adorable, while offering a metaphor for us all to consider. These bears, which have lived and loved and lost as much as their owners, have suffered and endured through it all. It is by virtue of revealing their inner core might we better understand our own."

People Replaced by Drawings
People Replaced by Drawings
Gear  |  Pic
"The pictures are simple enough: the people in the photos have been digitally removed and replaced with drawings. Yeah, I know: anyone can trace a drawing. But so what? I am doing it, and you're not.
Maybe the pictures illustrate the idea that we all want to remove ourselves from life, and replace ourselves with fictional, self-created versions of ourself. We want to fictionalise our own existence, and impose order and narrative where there is none. Or maybe it's just tracing. Either way, I hope you enjoy the pics." by themanwhofellasleep.
