strukt design studio: digital wallpaper

strukt design studio created this digital wallpaper for an office space in vienna using only a wall and digital projectors. the studio was given creative freedom on the project and developed a system to project video and other content onto the walls completely undistorted. using scripting software and projectors, the imagery can be scaled to any architectural surface, projecting on a flat wall or intricately detailed façade. this particular installation already had a black and white strip pattern, so the designs experimented with that. in addition to the simple coloured bands they also developed a pacman animation.

original poken

The poken pulse is a small device which digitally exchanges contact information linking real life encounters with online social networks. the poken pulse works by touching two devices together. once connected, the pieces exchange information and store it on a usb key so it can be uploaded to a computer. the poken concept aims to provide the same function as a business card only digitally. the original poken featured a small animal or character on the gadget, while the new poken pulse is a more professional looking product with a number of colourways created by dutch artist gaby zwaan. the poken pulse has storage for contacts as well as a free 2gb of memory for other data. the device is battery operated, but battery life is estimated at 8 to 12 months.

Amplified iPod Mini Speaker

Similar what I blogged on RGS before – The giant headphone but this one comes with a little bit more kick to pump your jam.

No speaker on the market packs such a powerful punch. Operatingthe same way as a quality subwoofer, a secret resonating chamber amplifies the speaker output through a patented expander tunnel. Deep bass and rich sound fill the room. Who knew such a rich sound could be produced from such a tiny device.
