Innovation has no limits!

"Nokia HumanForm was created in a joint effort to translate the most promising new nanotechnologies into meaningful user experiences, in order to create real devices and set goals for future product portfolios.

The project is a key step towards bringing significant user experience benefits to the market, enabled by nanotechnology. Nokia HumanForm is a visionary solution for a dynamically flexible device for uses beyond touch screen and voice communication where technology is invisible and intuition takes over. Natural interactions are enabled with a kinetic user interface."

(Nokia Research Center)

PUMA's Clever Little Shopper

Puma has developed another  product through its Sustainability Program: PUMA.safe.

It is a bag that, in contact with warm water, dissolves in 3 minutes.

Even outdoors, the decomposition time is much smaller when compared to other bags made from petroleum: 3 months.

It breaks down very easily due to its composition fully made of  biodegradable plastic based on corn starch.

But there is a question ... will it melt in the rain?

Watch the video!

nice invention,
but What about the water we spend?...
I still prefer paper or fabric bags to reuse

Tele-present water

David's Bowen tele-present water is an installation in Poland. It is a physical kinetic sculpture that re-creates the movement of waves.

This installation draws information from the intensity and movement of the water in a remote location. Wave data is being collected in real-time from National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration data buoy station 46075 Shumagin Islands Alaska (53°54'39" N 160°48'21" W).

The wave intensity and frequency is scaled and transferred to the mechanical grid structure resulting in a simulation of the physical effects caused by the movement of water from this distant location.
