Look. Donʼt touch. The New Samsung Smart TV

Posted: 29 May 2012 09:53 AM PDT

Smart is as smart does! In this day and age of gesture control, face recognition and smart interaction, it is quite flippant for us to expect anything else from Samsung. Which is why their new commercial highlighting these features, had me in splits! Guys, if it's Victoria's Secret model Angela Bellotte dressed in skimpy clothes and waving, do you really think she's calling out to YOU! Well yes, maybe…

Nah, she's just watching her new Samsung Smart TV! She's using both motion control and voice control to activate her TV, but the guys across the street think she is waving to them personally, ha! Can you spot all the celebrity cameos as the story unfolds in the video below? I spotted some!

Samsung's 2012 Smart TV is part of the next-generation of televisions hitting the market, which are entirely interactive. Smart TVs feature Smart Interaction, Smart Content and Smart Evolution.

Details

  • Control entertainment in new ways with Smart Interaction

Floating Island on the Move

Posted: 29 May 2012 09:24 AM PDT

The Solar Floating Resort is an example of what the distant future might hold when it comes to architecture, our reliance on renewable resources, and dealing with overpopulation on land. Covered completely in a photovoltaic skin, the resort is 100% self-sufficient and non-polluting.  On top of that, the floating palace is actually a modular system that divides into much smaller components that can be moved and assembled almost anywhere.

Mauricio Affonso’s FAN table is made from over 400 birch slats and a folding geometric base that make it possible to transform the design into an unlimited amount of custom sizes and shapes ranging from circle to square. It’s a super-functional and attractive design that’s adaptable to any situation.

The Human Signal

Posted: 29 May 2012 08:00 AM PDT

There are times when rescue workers and policemen have to work in darkness or low-light conditions. To make themselves visible and even to the extent of working as a human traffic signal, we have here the Tex-vest concept. The jersey is equipped with LEDs in green, red and yellow, depicting the traffic signal colors. Using specific hand movements the arrows and colors can be manipulated. I like the fact that it is interactive, viable and can help police officers regulate traffic.

Tex-vest is a joint research project between the Berlin Weißensee School of Art (KHB) and the Textile Research Institute Thuringia-Vogtland e.V. (TITV)

Designer: Jaka Plešec

An Evergreen Cooker Hood

Posted: 29 May 2012 07:35 AM PDT

Zephiro is an elegant cooker hood designed by Emo design for Falmec. Functional yet simple, the hood is equipped with e.Ion technology for filtration. This technology is an ionization system that reduces odor by eliminating organic molecules (bacteria, viruses and allergens) suspended in the air. The main advantage of this system is that it eliminates the use of exhaust tubes or vents for the hood. This not only supports clean architecture, but also enhances the hood with ceiling suspension.

Emo design explains, "Zephiro is equipped with a visual feedback that indicates air quality. The sensor detects impurities and when necessary it switches on the hood purifying the air. The e.Ion system works with controlled bipolar ionisation neutralizing polluting agents in the air and transforming them into water and Co2. The ions influence positively human biochemestry causing improved moods, concentration and other important health advantages."

Available in: white and black
Materials: glass, stainless steel
Typology: Cooker Hood
Dimensions: L 660 x W 460 x H 335
Producer: Falmec

Designer: Emo design for Falmec

Literal Gas Lamp

Posted: 29 May 2012 12:01 AM PDT

The Gas Lamp (which isn’t a gas lamp at all!) is a straightforward approach to the pendant that uses the iconic design of the propane gas tank as a shade. It’s a vivid reminder of the evolution of lighting that will compliment industrial and outdoor spaces alike.

Designer: La Firme
