Hand Blown Lights

January 31, 2008 at 12:14 pm

Check out these unique lights designed, created and hand blown by sculptor Dylan Kehde Rolofs. He describes them as “ the restoration of dialogue between filament and bulb,” Roelofs created the lights partly as a reaction against the soulless glow of low-energy bulbs. Each bulb draws about 1 amp at either 12v or 24v, thus about 12 or 24 watts. The filaments are fully replaceable.

Charge your mobiles wirelessly

January 31, 2008 at 8:37 am

MWG has announced that by mid-year, it will ship mobiles and PDAs that use a charging plate rather than a cable to charge. The inductive charger allows multiple devices to be charged on it at once and gives short charging period. Inductive power sends current obtained from a wall adapter through a coil in the charging plate. As current flows through the plate, it generates a magnetic field, which in turn induces a current to flow to the receiving device.

Moldable mouse

January 30, 2008 at 11:18 am

This mouse concept by Lite-on is made of lightweight modeling clay with a flexible polyurethane and nylon fabric cover that lets you mold it into whatever shape is most comfortable for you. The stick on, radio-frequency controlled mouse buttons and touch-sensitive scroll pad can be attached in any position to suit the user.

Moldable mouse

Moldable Mouse breaks the boundaries of the traditional mouse with its revolutionary design. Currently, all computer mouse products in the market are made with hard plastic, and their shapes are not universally adaptable to the human hand. Even the most advanced “ergonomically designed” mouse does not fit the preferences of every user. The inelasticity of the plastic model is problematic for long-time usage, as numerous people have suffered wrist injuries from extensive use in a fixed position. Moldable Mouse eliminates this problem with its unique design. more info
