Open Mirror by Digital Habit(s)

TheFuture — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 09:07:53 +0000

Open mirror is a unique mirror that you can use to hear music by connecting it to your music player or smartphone. Thanks to its advanced sensor based interface, you can control the music without touching the screen. When in stand-by position, the mirror features a full oval shape. The shape is divided in the lower part by a line of light that suggests the direction of the decomposition of the figure. The sliding movement reveals the functions of the product. The docking station comes out and a different light starts to illuminate the area where the sensors are active.

Designer : Digital Habit(s)

Open Mirror can be controlled by hand movements and let the user make basic interactions with the music or video player of compatible devices. Move your hand from right to left and vice versa and get forward and backward song control. Stay in the middle or right position and make the volume down or up. Stay on the left position and play or pause the music (see images on the left). Physical computing gives a new approach to the discipline of HCI (human computer interaction). People are more skilled in moving their bodies or hands in the space than grasping mouse or keyboards or touching displays. Natural gesture is a way of giving input that humans already know by their common experience.

The sensors detect human gestures and the software interprets and decodes their complexity, generating a consistent output through various actuators.

Salva Faucet Concept : Adjust The Temperature Without Wasting Water

TheFuture — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 09:33:54 +0000

Salva Faucet was born out of the idea to save water while adjusting water temperature. The designer explained to us that his inspiration came from the moment when we unconsciously left faucet running while adjusting the water temperature, at the same time, we’re wasting a lot of water. The knob looks like an exclamation mark when turned on, it also works as a reminder that you are leaving the water running. Using this faucet, you are forced to turn off the water in order to adjust the temperature because it would be really hard to turn the knob while still at “exclamation mark” mode.

Elevated Bathtub for People with Limited Mobility

TheFuture — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 11:37:25 +0000

Taking a bath is something that we can do easily, however, that’s not the case for people with limited mobility, that’s why Elevated Bathtub concept is a great idea. It’s a tub system with an enclosure that can be lifted, thus, getting in and out bathtub is no longer difficult and dangerous for people with limited mobility. This system consists of 2 parts: tub enclosure which can be lifted and the flat base with a showerhead pillar. Lift up the tub to reveal a flat bath area which allows user to step in and out easily without any obstacle. Select “tub bath” mode to slide the enclosure down until it closes with base part and water fills the tub until it’s ready for you to use.

After bathing, simply switch off “tub bath” mode to drain the water and lift the tub enclosure, allowing user to step out from the bath area.

Designers : Zhang Jiangpeng and Zou Tao

You can also take advantage of its regular shower equipment when the enclosure is at the top of pillar, that’s why Elevated Bathtub is great for everyone. It’s an ideal installation in public bathhouses, hospital, rest homes or even private houses.
