JVC deve lançar projetor 3D para home theaters em 2009 Gizmodo Brasil: "A JVC anunciou o primeiro projetor 3D planejado para home theaters. Sem exigir o uso de óculos especiais, o DLA-RS2 usa projeção D-ILA (similar ao LCD) e processamento de vídeo estereoscópico para oferecer uma experiência em 3D e 1080p.
Não foram divulgados muitos detalhes, mas sabemos que ele usa tecnologia SENSIO 3D de segunda geração, tem relação de contraste de 30.000:1 e deve sair no ano que vem."

Robotic Tech Applied For Next Gen Office Chairs - Gizmo Watch

Robotic Tech Applied For Next Gen Office Chairs - Gizmo Watch: "Discomfort in sitting has never been a concern for technology. Oki Electric Industry Co Ltd and Okamura Corp seems to have sympathized with numerous backache patients, who owe the problem to their uncomfortable chairs in the office, including some robotic tech to their latest gear. The “Leopard” is a concept model for an office chair from the company, which works on the technologies used in Oki’s “Robot Leg” – a leg-shaped robot. Robot Leg works on the principle of muscle and bone structures of the hip and the thigh area, facilitating the artificial limb to absorb the activity pressure just naturally.
What’s innovative:
Imbibing the same traits that of the Robot Leg, the Leopard chair comfortably corresponds to the human sitting ways, without any motor to assist. When empty the chair tilts itself forward, making it easy for the person to sit. On occupancy the chair significantly sinks, with the back moving to the most comfortable position for the occupant. And when the person stands up, the seating surface follows the occupant’s movement making it a lot effortless for him to rise."

Lâmpadas achatadas: uma inovação incandescente | Gizmodo Brasil

Lâmpadas achatadas: uma inovação incandescente Gizmodo Brasil: "As lâmpadas fluorescentes são cada vez mais dominantes, mas pelo menos um designer ainda pensa em como melhorar a clássica incandescente. O conceito de Joonhuyn Kim é simples: lâmpadas achatadas ocupam menos espaço e são mais fáceis (e mais baratas) para armazenar e transportar. Uma boa idéia, talvez um pouco atrasada. [Designboom]"

Uniform For Soldiers With Sense-and-treat Ability In The Works - Gizmo Watch

Uniform For Soldiers With Sense-and-treat Ability In The Works - Gizmo Watch: "When battlefields honk of the war-torn cries, with soldiers lying wounded and finding no leeway to escape, only instant diagnosis and treatment is what they crave. Reaching the nearest field hospital takes time, and we know soldiers have no alternative to self medicate. Therefore, either the marines would lift him through, or he would succumb to his injuries. When most battlefield deaths occur within the first 30 minutes after injury, Joseph Wang and his team of nanoengineers thought it was time they did something to minimize their survival rate. $1.6M has been funded for a project, by the U.S. Office of Naval Research, wherein UC San Diego nanoengineers are working to create a “field hospital on a chip,” that is a sense-and-treat uniform for the soldiers.
What’s Innovative:
We know the limitations of self-medication, but the wearable field hospital on a chip could be an innovation that takes the concept to scaling heights. Monitoring a soldier’s sweat, tears or blood, sense-and-treat system will keep track on his war-field related injuries, comprising trauma, shock, brain injury or fatigue. On recognizing the actual cause, the related medication would be instantly triggered into the soldier through his uniform".

Luz elétrica é estranha e horripilante | Gizmodo Brasil

Luz elétrica é estranha e horripilante Gizmodo Brasil:

["Este Quarto É Equipado Com Edison Electric Light (Luz Elétrica Edison)". Não tente acender com fósforo. Apenas gire a chave na parede, perto da porta. O uso de Eletricidade para iluminação é de maneira nenhuma prejudicial à saúde, nem afeta a profundidade do sono.]

Eu achava que luz elétrica aqui no século XIX era coisa do diabo. E preciso dizer que, ao entrar neste quarto todo iluminado sem velas, quase borrei as calças. Felizmente, logo me acalmei ao ler o aviso do Sr. Edison pendurado na parede. [NextNature via Boing Boing Gadgets]"

Anara Tower uma construção conceito

Projeto concebido pelo British Atkins Design Studio, prevê 27 andares com 300 escritórios a disposição dos interessados e 250 apartamentos para um hotel de luxo.

O grande destaque fica por conta de uma cápsula de vidro localizado no meio de uma hélice estilizada.

Anara Tower tem previsão para iniciar sua construção no próximo ano em Dubai. O novo arranha-céu será 155 metros mais baixo que o mais alto edifício do mundo – o Burj Dubai.

Samsung Aiming For The Biggest Yet — 11G LCD By 2010 - Gizmo Watch

Samsung Aiming For The Biggest Yet — 11G LCD By 2010 - Gizmo Watch: "Even after exhibiting the 0.05mm thick Flapping Display panel, bagging the title for screen thinness, Samsung Electronics intends to give no respite to the tech fraternity. The next crown which ignites the Co’s core is one for the biggest LCD display. We have heard of the 11G LCD for over a year now, but nothing really novel has been identified with it anytime yet. The FPD International 2008 is on, and Samsung has made a claim there – the company will invest in the next generation of LCD panels and 11G displays could be made a reality as early as 2010-2011. Won-Kie Chang, executive vice president said, 11G substrate product line will be in sheets measuring 3320×3000mm against 3200 x 3600mm proposed late last year. Jumping straight to 11G may not go down our gut comfortably – given the economic crises and customer satisfaction which could jeopardize the future of LCDs. However, LCDs have come a long way with contrast ratios, price cuts, viewing angles, et al... and Chang firmly believes only capability to develop new applications and attain a growth momentum, would decide the industry’s fate.

OLED Element Developed Possibly Printed Roll-to-roll - Gizmo Watch

OLED Element Developed Possibly Printed Roll-to-roll - Gizmo Watch: "OLEDs are making a room for themselves in the mainstream, developing high performance displays of tomorrow. OLEDs ably present more impressive images than what we currently see on the up-market plasmas and LCD displays, alongside their efficient potential. Latest innovation brought about using these Organic Light Emitting Diodes is in the packaging and printing industries. The ROLLED project under European researchers coordinated by VTT, has come about with a flexible OLED element capable of being produced using roll-to-roll printing technology."
