MTV and Sony Experia launch a new phone line by the slogan ‘Made of Imagination’. Key element of this campaign is that nobody can live without music. Creative producers are invited to send in music videos with their home made instruments.
The Lapka is expected to be available in the last quarter of 2012. It combines four sensors with an iPhone app. The sensors can measure if food is organic, but also humidity, electromagnetic fields and radioactivity.
No excuses when you cannot remember how many beers you have drunk… This opener will count for you.
Serve dishes in an original way with this silicon leaf plate. The leaves are designed by Noa Tamure for the Museum of Modern Art in New York and are dishwasher-, oven- and microwave-safe.
Ever wondered how a bowling alley works? At Powerzone Lovers Bowling in Amsterdam it’s all visible from the street. The walls are transparent so the white lanes, UV-lights and colourfull LED lights spread a futuristic glow to its surroundings. There is a laser-game area as well.
This coming August 25th, VVV Texel (tourist information) will send the first Message in a bottle 2.0: a buoy will be thrown in the water and will be tracked through GPS. Everybody can send messages to this buoy through social media. The finder will receive all the messages and will win several prices, including a full-serviced trip to the Dutch island Texel. Where this buoy will be dropped, is still a secret and where it will reach the shore, is totally depending on the weather conditions. A nice example of cooperation.
LYFE Kitchen is an organic fast-food alternative with great ambitions. The founders of LYFE, an acronym for ‘love your food everyday’, are former McDonald’s employees and want to open hundreds of restaurants in the next five years. McDonald’s former chief operating officer Mike Roberts and former chief of communications officer Mike Donahue opened a prototype restaurant on Hamilton Avenue in Palo Alto. They improve the cooking process and the logistics to save every second possible. When customers order they receive a coaster with a RFID tag. By this tag a runner can locate the table with the order. The restaurant offers organic brussel sprouts as alternative for french fries. Watch the video for about the kitchen of LYFE.
Zhu Jingzuan, student Fashion & Art Design, has developed a scent photo printer for the annual Student Design Workshop of Sony China. The Dongua University student received the “Most Fun” award for her creation. The food scent duplicator has three core elements; a camera, printer and aroma sensor. This ‘nose’ analyzes the scent and picks the closest aroma-ink to add to the photo. Sony finds the idea very interesting but doesn’t think to have a the prototype in production any time soon. See the articles by Design Taxi and China Daily for more information.
