Lumo is an interactive projector for kids. It projects games onto the floor of a child’s room, encouraging them to engage through physical play using their bodies and real toys. Lumo includes tools that allow kids to make interactive games and effects using their own artwork. There are eight people on the Lumo team, including designers, developers and engineers. We have over 20 years of combined experience developing and installing commercial interactive displays all over the world. Our dream is to commercialize the world’s first consumer interactive display system capable of turning the real world into a game by augmenting surfaces and physical objects with digital projection. http://www.lumoplay.com Verticals Urban, Architecture & Construction, Health, Sports & Recreation, Advertising & Brand Engagement, Commerce & Retail, Education & Training, Museums & Art Platforms Projection, Gesture Device, Internet of Things Products Lumo Play Po-motion (commercial interactive projection software)...
Augmented reality hacker @yosun is back – with her latest awesome AR and VR creations. A holographic typewriter that lets you swap out any key set to type-to-paper instantly – corollary: a mixed-reality IoT remake of the APL Machine. A preview of The Mathemagician Workbook for middle school geometry. Extrude strange shapes in the real world from intriguing designs. Walk into paintings. And more hacks – and possibly some gnomes. http://curiosities.areality3d.com...
The human touch is no stranger to interacting with nature. Feeling the grass beneath our feet or hand leaves behind a sense of relief and allows for individuals to just concentrate on touch. It is considered that gardening is therapeutic and is often seen as an activity in assisted living centers. Those who are unable to benefit from this activity, such as hospitalized children and the mentally and physically disabled are stripped of the leisure. Touchology is a series of interactive projects that evokes serenity by exploring the meditative quality of touch with plants (real or artificial) that can be accessible at home or indoors. Since Touchology projects keep all the necessary components in a small container, this can be placed anywhere at ease of the user and extend her experience with nature in a unique way. One of the Touchology projects, Flora Touch, utilizes a small potted plant and a base with the electronic components. It generates ambient audio-visualization responding to human’s gentle touch of a plant. Another project, Grass is also a touch responsive installation. Grass consists of a field of fiber optics that look like grass and electronic components including LEDs and speakers in a base container. Users can explore different nature sounds (water, wind, bird, and cricket) and LED lighting patterns projected on the tips of optical fibers by touch. Touchology investigates how touch-sensitive, interactive plants can generate an emotional attachment with the user and how the relationship affects their quality of life in different conditions. Since Touchology uses real and artificial plants, we carefully choose plants based on scientific evidences. Researchers found that gently rubbing leaves of thale cress plants between thumb and forefinger can activate defense mechanism in the plant, making it more resistant to Botrytis cinerea, the fungus that causes grey mold. We are trying to build reciprocal relationships between human and plant through touch. http://www.embodiedimmersion.com/?p=1529...
H. Brock Kolls is a visionary entrepreneur who develops market-changing technology by identifying and capturing intellectual property around breakthrough innovation. He is also a US Patent Agent with 16 years of patent drafting and prosecution experience and is an inventor on more than 60 patents in diverse technology fields including machine-to-machine systems, communication systems, vehicle telematics, cashless mobile payment systems, vending and cold drink equipment technologies, and cloud based solutions. In the late 90’s he took a startup to successful exit onto NASDAQ in which he invented wireless cashless payment technology and a turnkey banking system that opened cashless micropayments to the vending and other traditionally coin-operate industries. His company was ahead of it’s time. Today we would say his company was into the internet-of-things, mobile commerce, and cloud solutions but back then none of these terms had been coined yet. He joined Coca-Cola R&D in 2007 and led a team of controls engineers on the design of the Coca-Cola Freestyle dispenser. Today the transformational beverage dispenser based on novel micro-dosing technology refreshes consumers in restaurants with more than 120 drink choices. After Freestyle design, he successfully grew Coca-Cola’s global open innovation program scouting technologies worldwide to meet business needs. In this role he worked extensively with getting novel startup technologies commercialized and into Coke’s bottling system. Having experienced, from both the startup and the big company perspective, how challenging it is to get breakthrough innovations out of the lab and into the marketplace at meaningful scale quickly, Brock founded Gr8 Big Ideas. The company focuses on creation of patent portfolios using a proprietary process modeled around a horse race handicapping methodology he and his father developed. The process connects strategic initiatives with trends, insights, big ideas, and other factors to Company: Gr8 Big Ideas/CN2 Technology http://www.CN2tech.com Related Products:...
