[vid] Alternative Energy Company bringing kinetic energy generation #NEWtech @[nPowerPEG]

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

@[nPowerPEG] ||

∞ The nPower® PEG is a small, lightweight device that recharges your hand-held electronic devices from the kinetic energy you generate while walking, running, or biking. Just place your nPower® PEG in your backpack, briefcase, or purse and go about your daily activities. As you move, your PEG will continuously top-off its internal battery providing you with extra power when you need it. –When you’re on the go. And, if you’re in an emergency situation, shaking your nPower® PEG will give you the ability to call for help or get in touch with a loved one. ||

∞ Has Your Phone Ever Died on You When You Needed to Make a Call?

It doesn’t matter if you're on the Appalachian Trail, walking to class, or commuting to your job in New York City. You depend on your phone, Mp3 player, GPS, and other hand-held electronic devices. With the nPower® PEG, you can extend your use time when you do not have access to a wall outlet. Just plug your device into your nPower® PEG and you’ll have an extra boost of power to continue talking, surfing the internet, or listening to music.

Place the PEG in your backpack, briefcase, or handbag and walk. As you move, the nPower® PEG harvests the kinetic energy that you're already generating and converts it into usable power for recharging your cell phone, Mp3 player, or other hand-held device.

∞ Renewable Energy Generation Just Got Personal

When you think about the nPower® PEG, think “personal energy generator.” The PEG gives you the ability to generate your own, personal renewable energy, while making a statement about your committment to sustainability. The PEG is the first of its kind, and we have big plans for the future of nPower® technology (picture large-scale kinetic energy generators along side solar and wind power). The nPower® PEG is our first product that will help excellerate the development of kinetic energy generation for commercial use. And, you can help. –Order your nPower® PEG today! ||

The Universal Media Research Center at NICT's Keihanna Research Labs has developed the fVisioOn, a table-top naked-eye display that can show 3D images to multiple users.

The fVisioOn is specifically designed to be viewed from above through 360 degrees. It serves as an interface that can be used in natural fashion by multiple people. || [...]

[vid] Splurp: A digital eyedropper [EN] Um conta-gotas digital [BR] #USERinterface #MIT @make @[youtube|zigg1es]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

@[youtube|zigg1es] ||

∞ In this video I demonstrate how slurp can be used to move digital files between machines over the network. Rather than plug a usb drive into the port that corresponds with a specific file seen on a screen, just suck the file directly off the screen itself. Slurp is used like an eyedropper, it vibrates and displays light to indicate it's state to the user.

∞ Slurp is tangible interface for manipulating abstract digital information as if it were water. Taking the form of an eyedropper, Slurp can extract (slurp up) and inject (squirt out) pointers to digital objects. We have created Slurp to explore the use of physical metaphor, feedback, and affordances in tangible interface design when working with abstract digital media types. Our goal is to privilege spatial relationships between devices and people while providing new physical manipulation techniques for ubiquitous computing environments.

∞ Made by Jamie Zigelbaum, Adam Kumpf, Alejandro Vazquez, and Hiroshi Ishii in the Tangible Media Group... at the MIT Media Lab. ||

SLAP Widgets are transparent general-purpose tangible controls for multi-touch tables made from silicone and acrylic. They are low-cost and untethered, and combine the benefits of dynamic relabeling and tactile feedback. For more information, visit SLAP: Silicone Illuminated Active Peripherals ||

Physical user interface components such as buttons, sliders, knobs, and keyboards have many advantages: thanks to their haptic nature, they are easy to operate without looking, and their shape guides the user's input gestures. However, they are often expensive, and it is hard to change their labeling on the fly. Computer interfaces have largely replaced these devices with virtual on-screen controls, such as push buttons, scrollbars, rotary knobs and soft keyboards. Virtual controls are very flexible, easily changed dynamically - but they lack the physical, haptic texture and feedback of their real-world counterparts.
Our Silicone ILluminated Active Peripherals, or SLAP widgets, are physical widgets made from silicone rubber and acrylic that combine the advantages of physical and virtual devices: Our SLAP buttons, sliders, knobs and keyboards have the physical shape of real devices to provide the right haptic feedback, but are still easily relabeled using a tabletop rear projection. At the same time, they are particularly low-cost, and easy to put to use.||

Electroactive polymers (EAP) are an emerging class of materials with many new revolutionary properties. One of the main advantages of electroactive polymers is the possibility to electrically control and fine-tune their behavior and properties. Using Micromuscle EAP technology, a wide variety of small moving components can be constructed. The possibility to create moving structures and exert force enables new functionality for medical devices and other life science products ||
