WGSN-Homebuildlife has posted a video on their blog that shows speciality glass brand, Corning’s vision for the future with specialty glass at the heart of it all – of course. Email can be accessed through mirrors, the morning news broadcasted from the kitchen table and refrigerators with digital photo frames. However, while watching it, I’m [...]

Crammed with lots of functions such as a 8.0MP camera, dual pico projectors, wireless charging and mini USB. I like the embedded Bluetooth/Infra-Red dongle that can be pulled out and used as a remote control to pan and zoom the screen. Source: Trendland
Continue reading Seabird by Mozilla Labs I love the work of Bompas & Parr – true experimenters and inventors of food-related experiences (they once created a walk-in cloud of breathable gin and tonic!). For an exhibition on Surrealism at London’s Barbican Art Gallery, they launched ‘Occult Jam’. Turning the everyday, domestic pot of jam into a surreal object. Three flavours made with fruits [...]

Continue reading Peak Bath With increasing health-related food worries (including too much salt consumption), the timing of the Kakujio couldn’t be better! Salt presented just like sugar cubes – in pre-measured dosages. Designed by De Meyboom Lab (Yasuhito Hirose and Ryohel Yoshiyuki), it was submitted for the Muji Award 02 competition where it won the Judge’s prize. This is [...]

Cool but those cubes look like a huge amount of salt!!!!!
Yeh if that’s anything like sugar cube sized… that’s a lot of salt.
Is that Muji?

Though I didnt really like the placement for the projected keyboard, I would rather have it below the phone as single keyboard.

Intesting concept presentation, love the CG – makes it seem like it’s almost there. However, just like the gesture-based interaction in Minority Report, there are still so many problems to overcome.
