The new building concept designed by Zaha Hadid Architects in Farrer Road in Singapore would be an architectural wonder if one looks at the designs. The overall design wishes to communicate the florid vegetation in the Singapore’s climate. The overall project is organized into 7 towers growing from sunken private gardens in the landscape to the sky above. The lower floor highlight the point of buildings meeting the ground, yet providing private space for gardens and vegetation which is unique given the kind of construction involved. The overall look and feel of the tower is like petals blossoming and it sure will not just be an architectural marvel but a revolutionary one too.

Miranda is a cheap video recorder with a flash memory and 3 axis accelerometer. It helps you to record all things happening around you and also helps finding thieves or anything suspicious as it goes around with every time. It’s small, adaptable and cheap. Lams convincing thoughts has helped in showing the results of the brutal processions. It is very effective in the elimination of corruption from a body (mostly government). Requires very little maintenance and very effectively and generate proportional benefits. It also plays a major role in the security of civil rights.

An amazing 3D GPS navigation has been launched by Thinkware, though I’m still hoping the e-paper gps concept can come to reality. iNAVI K2 GPS provides amazing detail of 3D maps which are rendered on its 4.8-inch 800 x 480 screen resolution in a photo-realistic way. iNAVI K2 GPS also uses a three-axis sensor (G-Sensor) that enables stable use of navigation system which speed up the search on iNAVI software. iNAVI K2 GPS also has multimedia functions, so you can do photo viewing, play your mp3, read e-book, and play games.

A new innovation in PC Design for the visually impaired called Zen. The concept of Zen is a hardware called the ‘Sandbox PC’ and Zen edition operating system working together to create a computing environment that can be used with eyes closed. ZEN is for ?Z-axis Enabled,? meaning it is a truly interactive 3D computer. The Sandbox PC features Active Surface, an electronic surface that can take different physical shape and can be manipulated by the user. You can read Braille text on it, make out windows, icons, and different textures. You can press into the surface, or scratch it with your fingers. All input output is made with the sense of touch. ZEN software uses a Tactile User Interface (TUI). The visually impaired are a negated market. It is fitting, then, to bring them to light using the negated sense of touch, by introducing a negated dimension of depth.
Wang Yigang has designed flow, a wind solar energy system. This solar and wind energy collection system uses arciform photovoltaic cells to enable a better collection of sun light. At the same time, the shell, which is composed of six photovoltaic cells, can be used as wind concentrator. The wind forms a whirlpool within. This acceleration of wind speed increases the performance of the rotor. Through movable joints, the angles of the photovoltaic cells can be adjusted so that different orientations can be made for the maximisation of sun exposure, and to vary the amount of wind entering the system. The wind energy system uses a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. It can operate normally even when the wind is not very strong. In addition, FLOW?s small size makes this system suitable for family use.
