Designers and inventors are constantly working to improve technology and strive to implement projects that can improve our lives, for example, by combating the effects of environmental pollution. In this post, you will see innovative ideas in the field of art, creativity and technology.
1. Edible water bubbles
An alternative to plastic bottles, a solution that comes to the aid of the environment. Edible bubbles, which consist of algae extract, if not eaten, they decompose in a month.
2. Tesla Solar Roof, a shingle that works like solar panels
Four different shingle designs that turn sunlight into electricity, keeping your home design elegant yet functional.
3. Bee drone for pollinating plants
Considering that some bee species are endangered, it is very important to think about innovative solutions. Industrial design student Anna Haldevang created PLan Bee, a lightweight plastic drone that pollinates plants like a bee.
4. Adjustable Headphones
Knops are adjustable earbuds that allow you to block out external noise and create a quiet environment wherever you are, or protect your hearing while still delivering quality sound. Combining elegant design with analog technology, the innovative headphones have four settings to suit any need: clear sound, urban noise, live music, and noise isolation.
5. “Living” Chandelier for Air Purification
Julian Melchiorri, an engineer, designer and biotechnologist, created Exhale to combine aesthetic beauty and ecological functionality with a “living” chandelier. This incredible piece is made up of 70 glass leaves filled with algae that purify the air.
6. A Moss Panel That Cleans City Air as Well as 275 Trees
Just four meters tall and three meters wide, CityTree has the power of 275 trees. Made from mosses, CityTree absorbs 250 grams of dust, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone gas every day. It is equipped with solar panels, can collect rainwater and generate electricity, and can also test air and soil pollution.
7. Dot - the first smartwatch with Braille for the blind
The first smartwatch that allows blind people to know the time, receive and send messages thanks to Braille text. Dot connects to your phone via Bluetooth, and also allows you to know who is calling you and easily find your mobile phone.
8. Headphones that let you speak 40 different languages
The company demonstrated how Pixel Buds headphones, connected to a smartphone via Bluetooth and with the help of Google Assistant, work as simultaneous translators in the ear. The "instant translation" mode works with all 40 languages supported by Google Translate.
9. Soundproof blinds for those who work in open offices
A must for all introverts. For many people, open offices are their worst nightmare. They are distracting from work, leaving no room for privacy. Wear Space features panels on the sides of the eyes that interfere with peripheral vision, and bluetooth headphones that cancel out noise, truly isolating you from the outside world.
10. Naked Labs Creates First 3D Body Scanning Mirror
The mirror creates 360-degree images of the body. The device can record and track body fat percentage, fat mass, body measurements, and more.
