EXAMPLES CONTEMPORARY TECHNOLOGIES

1. MULTI TOUCH GESTURE
by Gabrielè Meldaikyte

INFORMATION FROM DESIGNER

There are five multi-touch gestures forming the language we use between our fingers and iPhone screens. This is the way we communicate, navigate and give commands to our iPhones.

Nowadays, finger gestures like tap / scroll / flick / swipe / pinch are considered to be 'signatures' of the Apple iPhone. I believe that in ten years or so these gestures will completely change. Therefore, my aim is to perpetuate them so they become accessible for future generations.

I have translated this interface language of communication into 3D objects which mimic every multi-touch gesture. My project is an interactive experience, where visitors can play, learn and be part of the exhibition.




2. REAL LIFE INSTAGRAM

Traditional photography with actual cameras has gone way of the handy camera we all have on our smartphones. It also seems we can’t avoid slapping a filter on it via some photo app and sharing it on every social network out there. Instagram is the leader of the pack when it comes to photos, filters, and sharing and London-based Bruno Ribeiro decided to take the idea into the real world with his series of photos called Real Life Instagram. Because we all know how difficult it is to disconnect the digital world from the every day, mundane analog one.




3. Desktop Fireworks

INFORMATION FROM DESIGNER

‘Desktop Fireworks’ is a digital art piece about how I can deliver some positivity in a stressful work environment. ‘Desktop Fireworks’ looks like an ordinal set of office stationary, at glance. However, it has alternative special hidden functions for surprises. Having spent time working stressfully, 'Desktop Fireworks' enables you to celebrate. By pressing the big Emergency style button, A tape cutter, a mug releases an orchestra of light, small desktop drawers play music and bubbles, bookends and small notice boards releases confetti. Those continuous automated entertaining elements create surprises and give personal celebration at the end of stressful days. Psychological stress affects many people. The causes can be varied. An unexpected delightful surprise can uplift moods and emotions. 'Desktop Fireworks'; is an alternative office stationary.

In Japan, high suicide rates due to work stress are one of the biggest social problems. My father, Kenichi Sayuda committed suicide in 1995 aged 37 because of work related stress. Since then, I have been naturally fascinated by stress relieving solutions. In addition, our daily lives have strong contrast in the day – work- and night -play- traditionally. There are words of ‘Hare’ (sacred) and ‘Ke’(secular), which we often use to describe our cultural contrasts in daily life and unusual days. I would like to represent the strong contrast in the daily life in the office, and opposite exciting elements for entertainments such as fireworks, which is popular in Japan as summer night festival. Those two opposite elements always need to live together, particularly in hard work societies. Therefore I hide my entertainment elements inside practical modern office stationary and create contrasts and surprises to uplift human emotion.

5. oPHONE DUO

WEBSITE
MOVIE

caption

INFORMATION FROM DESIGNERS

The oPhone is a revolutionary device that, in combination with our free iPhone app “oSnap”, allows you to send and receive electronic aroma messages. Think of it as a kind of telephone for aromas. With the oPhone, you can now bring complex scent texting into your mobile messaging life, and share sensory experience with anyone, anywhere.

How it Works

The oPhone DUO is able to diffuse over 300,000 unique aromas thanks to the small, inexpensive circular cartridges we call oChips, that fit inside the device. The oPhone DUO works with 8 oChips and each oChip contains 4 aromas - so the oPhone DUO works with 32 primitive aromas. They last for hundreds of uses, sort of like link cartridges, but for aroma. You can swap them in and out and capture any scent for which we have designed an oChip. And while we are starting with oChip families (what we call "aromatic vocabularies") around specific foodie and coffee experiences, we will soon be diversifying these in exciting ways.

Using oSnap with oPhone is like using an aroma palette with a paintbrush and canvas. You will want to try your hand at it, or as we say, "aroma doodle". And with the oPhone, you'll quickly get the hang of how it all works.

6. THE BROOKLIN BLOCK

INFORMATION FROM DESIGNMILK
original article

The Brooklyn Block has taken an item of clothing (a scarf) that can be pretty boring, and turned it into something beautiful with an interesting story to back it up. They shoot video around Brooklyn neighborhoods, take the video and process it into code that generates specific patterns. Those patterns are then printed onto scarves, reflecting the textures, layers, and colors that are from that neighborhood.

Process
1. Videos of locations across neighborhoods in Brooklyn are processed in code to generate specific patterns. The generated pattern is then printed on a scarf thus reflecting colors, layers and textures of that neighborhood.

2. The video processed in code would generate the following pattern.

3. The generated pattern is printed on the scarf that represents colors, layers and Textures of DUMBO




7.PROJECTEO

INFORMATION FROM DESIGNERS

HOW IT WORKS?

Projecteo is a miniature slide projector that turns your Instagram images into your own personal slide show. Order your personalised wheels on our website and we deliver them straight to you!

We develop your Instagrams on to a single frame of 35mm Kodak film which is set into a custom wheel. Each wheel holds nine images and are easily switched in and out. Multiple wheels are stackable for easy storage.

A Projecteo unit is about the size of a matchbox (46 x 38 x 27 mm) and is $25.99, extra wheels are $8.99 each.

It’s best to use Projecteo in a dark space and project onto a light coloured surface between 4cm and 50cm.

THE DESIGN STORY

The spark for Projecteo came from a Rollei P35 projector in a London market. Our curious inventor took it home, looked inside and realised the mechanics could be miniaturised. By using Instagram images Projecteo brings back the nostalgic warmth of old slide projectors to the photos we take now.

Imagine if playing air guitar actually resulted in an audible, stream of guitar music. Well, that’s what AirType is. It’s a keyboard-less keyboard that will change the way we type, especially when it comes to your tablet.

AirType is a set of cuff-like devices that attach to your hands, and makes the letters you want by learning your finger movements. It’s no different than typing on a keyboard. Like your mobile devices, it’s small and easy to transport as well.

10. PIXELLATED 3D-PRINTED SHOES
by Francis Bitonti

INFORMATION FROM DEZEEN
original article

Francis Bitonti, who designed the 3D printed dress for Dita Von Teese, has 3D-printed a capsule collection of pixellated footwear. Each platform shoe has a slightly different form. To create the shoes, Bitonti used a mathematical model that generates cellular structures called Game of Life, devised by British mathematician John Conway.

"The shoes are all procedurally generated," Bitonti told Dezeen. "Conway's Game of Life is used as a foundation for our algorithm. This is what lets us get so many different configurations and is what we used to 'grow' our collection.

The shoes were designed using software developed with digital technology company Adobe, which generates variations from the algorithm."Adobe entering the 3D-printing industry is a very exciting thing to see," said Bitonti. "This will help more people get started using the technology. The technology is becoming ubiquitous. It's very exciting to see this happening now."

Once the form is created, the shoes are built pixel by pixel on a Stratasys 3D printer that gradually blends different colours of filament as the pieces are built up in layers.

The soles are a dark purple, moving up through blue and green tones to yellow and orange at the top. Each of the women's shoes features a wedge heel and an upper that hugs the top of the foot, leaving an open toe. The pixellated formation of the stalactite-like footwear differs from pair to pair – one set features a separate sole and heels, while the bottom and top of the heel are disconnected at the back of another pair.
