GO2SLEEP : AI Powered Device

The Go2Sleep Home Sleep Test is a revolutionary device on monitoring and improving your sleep quality. It elevates comfort while maintaining almost the same detecting accuracy of a pulse oximeter, but with a lot more key information.

Beijing Beats Office Blues

Perhaps going to work in the morning wouldn’t be such a drag if the workplace was designed by People’s Architecture Office (PAO). The firm is responsible for off-the-wall ideas like a pedal-powered RV and ventilation shaft dwelling, and has now revealed an unusual office complete with running track, garden and a seating area meant to resemble a mountainside. The office […]

Stator The Future Scooter?

Judging by the success of the Scrooser and the Phatty, people do like the idea of fat-tired electric scooters. California-based skateboarder/cyclist/product designer Nathan Allen is now attempting to join the throng, with the interesting-looking and apparently self-balancing Stator. Currently in functioning prototype form, the Stator features a powder-coated chromoly steel tubular frame, a quirky one-sided handlebar that folds down for […]

Making Aquaculture More Eco-Friendly

Even though widely-consumed fish such as Nile tilapia may frequently be raised on farms, the food that they eat still contains ecologically-important fish that are caught in the ocean, depleting wild stocks. That’s why Dartmouth College scientists are now looking at replacing the fishmeal in that food with existing algae meal. Nannochloropsis oculata is a marine microalga that’s already being […]

Origami-Inspired Lamp Harnesses Energy From The Sun

There’s no shortage of portable lights for camping, from pocket-sized lampsto larger ones that double as security systems, to grid setups that daisy-chain lights together to light a larger area. Practical as they are though, most aren’t much to look at by themselves. Solight Design is trying to change that with the Qwnn, an origami-inspired lantern that folds flat, charges […]

Let’s take a look at some of the weird and wacky creations to wash up at this year’s event. Sculpture […]

Remote Controlled Camper

Quite different from other camping trailers we’ve covered over the years, the iCamp from Dutch company Udo Camp rides to the campground as a flat trailer with a rear-end that looks like it belongs on a sports coupe. At camp, the electric pop-top quickly sheds any resemblance to a car, rising into an 8-ft-tall (2.4-m) shelter that sleeps and feeds […]

Self-Contained Station Recycles Water

Not all wastewater is created equal – it may not be drinkable, but some of what goes down the drain is perfectly fine for watering the garden or flushing toilets. Water used for hand-washing is relatively easy to treat for reuse, and now engineers at ETH Zurich have built and tested a standalone hand-washing station for use in public places […]
