La préoccupation de ce blog est la fusion entre l'art et la technologie
Ce blog s'intéresse à l'intégration de l'art à travers les nouvelles plate-formes technologiques, ainsi qu'à l'accessibilité et l'intéractivité des médiums artistiques auprès des consommateurs et ce, d'un point de vue économique, esthétique et... pratique!
Dean Kamen is an innovator, but not just of things. He hopes to revolutionize attitudes, quality of life, awareness. While an undergraduate, he developed the first portable infusion device, which delivers drug treatments that once required round-the-clock hospital care. And, through his DEKA Research and Development, which he cofounded in 1982, he developed a portable dialysis machine, a vascular stent, and the iBOT -- a motorized wheelchair that climbs stairs (Stephen Colbert took one for a spin).
Here is a closer look at the PicoP Evaluation Kit (PEK). The PEK is an evaluation tool for product design engineers to let them ‘test-drive’ a laser display for pico projection applications. The PEK is offered at a sub-$5K price, and as stated by a recent PEK customer “the value and benefit of being amongst the first to evaluate, test and design potential products based on an ultra-miniature laser-based pico projection engine is well worth the investment”. Supporting our future strategy of embedding the PicoP display engine inside OEM’s mobility products, we’re pleased that customers from a wide variety of industries have already purchased and used the PEK to explore a range of prototype and proof-of-concept laser display applications. Specifically, customers are evaluating and designing product considerations ranging from mobility devices, automotive and aerospace products, and medical systems equipment to industrial 3D modeling devices, non-contact precision measurement, and wearable display innovations.
Eric Giler wants to untangle our wired lives with cable-free electric power. Here, he covers what this sci-fi tech offers, and demos MIT's breakthrough version, WiTricity -- a near-to-market invention that may soon recharge your cell phone, car, pacemaker.
