So you’ve got a budding Pablo Picasso at home, too young to understand the difference between a canvas and your living room wall. You’ve been through some painful hair-pulling experiences every time you see your child “expressing” his art using your newly painted walls before. Well you really don’t need to bother with protecting your walls anymore from your bundle of joy. Just use the KLEXL Interactive Painting concept, a projector that allows digital wall painting by means of an IR tracking camera by Dario Jandrijic of the University of Wuppertal. Using light pens instead of crayons, this one will let your child sketch the length of the room without messing up your walls. And you can save the designs for later viewing too!
With the projectors going small with the evolving technology, there is comprehensive range for the tech-savvy consumers on the market shelves. Joining hands in the world of compactness is the Pro projector concept by Seza Yiş. Since most of the projectors share common features when it comes to the field of usage, however, specifications can be variable. Pro combines the common and necessary features with the add-on of portability and user-friendly machine. Small and portable Pro touts its conical structure that stands unique in the queue. The important aspect of the projector which is an objective glass is made adjustable. To ease the usage, the keypad has been located onto projection machine, and in addition, a remote control has also been included. The device is made using acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), which boasts high impact strength.
If you don’t wanna curb the graffiti artist in your tot, German designer Dario Jandrijic has developed an Interactive Painting concept dubbed the “KLEXL” that lets kids express themselves without spoiling the living room walls. Essentially a smart projector, the painting machine allows digital wall printing with an IR tracking camera that you can clean up with ease after your tot is done with his/her masterpiece. Replacing the crayons with light pens and creative blotches with light pixels, the KLEXL not only allows graffiti on the wall but also saves them to re-project years later to cherish early creativity of your toddler.
Look up, peasant, from your soot-stained hands. Drop that shovel into the furrowed ground and gaze upon the magic* that Mozilla has wrought. Concept designer Billy May, working through Mozilla’s “Open Web Concept Phone” project, has gathered community feedback and followed up on some rather mundane visions for the mobile future with this little beauty, the Mozilla Seabird. The completely fictional device has a disturbing initial resemblance to a BlackBerry Storm, but as the video unfolds the functionality is really what sells this thing. The big innovation is the use of dual pico projectors on the side of the handset, which can provide different functionality based on the phone’s orientation: flat on a table they pump out the two halves of a QWERTY keyboard, up on a dock they offer the dual purpose of a large viewing screen above and a seamless projected keyboard below. Other features, like the pop-out wireless pointer / Bluetooth headset are slightly less realistic but no less charming. Now, before you get too excited, you should know that Mozilla has no plans to build this or any phone, they’re just messing around with some fancy 3D software and the bright imagination of their community of users. Still, for the two minutes and thirty seven seconds that the video after the break unfolds, allow yourself to think: “What if?”
Here’s a new iPhone 5 concept, this time not too detailed and relying very much on the video at the end of the article. Created by WaterWorks/ Christopher East, this iPhone design relies on futuristic hologram projections.
