Intel announces Creative Depth Vision camera at Computex 2013

Intel’s just announced the Creative Senz3D Peripheral Camera at the company’s Computex keynote in Taipei. The camera lets users manipulate objects on the screen using gestures and is able to completely eliminate the background. It appears to be an evolution of the Creative Interactive Gesture Camera we recently played with at IDF in Beijing. This new 3D depth camera is expected to become available next quarter and Intel plans to incorporate the technology into devices during the second half of 2014. “It’s like adding two eyes to my system,” said Tom Kilroy, VP of marketing. The company’s been talking about “perceptual computing” for some time and this certainly brings the idea one step closer to fruition.

Chandelier Turns Your Room into a Forest

Chandeliers add a certain flair to any room you put them in. They can be colorful or glittering with crystals, long or short, and wide or narrow, and fitted with lamps so they can aptly illuminate the room.

Forms of Nature is another chandelier, but it’s more of an art form since the light sculpture does more than just light things up when you turn it on.

Forms in Nature

Flicking that switch on will cast shadows of twisty and thorny vines and branches on your walls that looks the outline of a very creepy patch of woods. Kind of like the ones Red was running around in when she was running from her wolf of a grandmother.

Forms in Nature was created by Hilden & Diaz, which is a collaboration between artists Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz.

Forms in Nature1

The light sculpture is described as resembling and being inspired by Darwinist Ernst Haeckel’s drawings and plots of nature. It is described by its creators as “artwork with a light source surrounded by a dense and unruly tree and root system created in minature sculpture. The forest is mirrored around it’s horizontal central axis and forms a circle 360 degrees around the light source and thereby leads one onto the notion of a real world versus an underworld.

Forms in Nature has been such a hit that Hilden & Diaz are currently working on launching a Kickstarter campaign to produce 100 pieces of the light sculpture.

Creative launches NFC wireless speakers, colorful Hitz headsets

DNP Creative launches NFC wireless speakers, colorful Hitz headsets

Creative may hope to rival Jawbone’s Jambox with its new colorfully geometric Bluetooth speakers, the Airwave and Airwave HD. NFC-enabled Bluetooth speakers aren’t exactly news, so Creative is playing catch-up with its NFC-capable Airwave series. Users can pair capable Android devices to the Airwave by simply tapping the phone against the speaker and an integrated microphone allows for use as a speakerphone — iOS devices and Android devices not packing NFC can pair over Bluetooth. The Airwave HD can support two NFC-connected devices but it sacrifices about five hours of playback compared to the less powerful Airwave, which can go 12 hours between charges.

Creative is taking a fresh approach with its styling by offering the Airwave line in a variety of colors including pink, blue, green, and red. This new design theme is echoed in Creative’s Hitz headsets, which will feature an in-line microphone housing playback and volume controls. Though there’s no word yet on a stateside release, the Airwave and Airwave HD will be available in Singapore in June for SG$129 (US$103) and SG$199 (US$160) respectively and the Hitz line will launch in July, with prices ranging from SG$49 (US$39) to SG$89 (US$72). For more information, see the full press release after the break.

This Chair Has Plenty of Balls

You can be a romantic by wanting to lay yourself down on a bed of roses, but I’d rather be comfortable and lie down on a bed of foam balls instead. Not just regular foam balls because they’ll clearly roll all over the place, leaving you to lie on nothing but the hard floor.

Rather, I mean the Feel Seating System Deluxe. While it can be used in the home, it’s also office chair, but it looks far from being a chair – and for the office, at that.

The entire thing is comprised of 120 fabric-covered balls that are linked together with elastic strands. You’re not limited to just having a chair with the Feel Seating System, since the buckles on the edges let the user reconfigure the shape. Push and move the balls around to come up with a recliner, or flatten it some more to make a cushy bed.

The Feel Seating System Deluxe costs $7,950(USD). It’s steep, I know, but where else can you find an office chair that’s as comfortable, versatile (and productivity eliminating) as this? Fortunately, there are smaller, significantly less expensive versions for kids and smaller adults.

The Irony of It All: Wedding Dress Made from Divorce Papers

People fall in love, plan fancy weddings, and get married in front of friends, family, and acquaintances all the time – only to file for divorce a few months or years down the road because the marriage has fallen apart. This happens more often than most people think, and 15-year old art student Demi Barnes is aware of it.

So when she was tasked to do a project for school, Demi decided that aside from being creative, she was also going to make a strong statement about divorce. The result is the wedding dress you see above that was crafted from divorce papers.

Wedding Dress

Demi explains: “Originally I was going to make it out of newspapers and magazines, but I thought using divorce papers was a lot more interesting. I think a lot of people rush into marriage quickly and then get divorced – it’s a statement.”

She added: “When I put it up on Facebook, it was just to show my cousin in Italy what I’d been up to. Within a week, it had over 40,000 hits and people were approaching me to design their wedding dresses. I’m passionate about fashion and design and am hoping someone will approach me with a work experience placement so I can turn my passion into a career.”

I think it’s safe to say that people heard her statement loud and clear.

Naoki Ono’s Awesome Canvas Furniture Portraits Double as Actual Furniture

What good is a portrait of a chair when your legs are weary and are in need of rest? Tons of good, apparently, if it happens to be one of the portraits by YOY. That’s because aside from being a striking piece of art, each painted seat doubles as an actual piece of furniture.

Canvas Wall Chair

Stare at it, marvel at its beauty, and then remove it from its frame, prop it against a wall, and take a seat.

Canvas Wall Chair1

‘Canvas’ was unveiled at Salon Satellite at Milan Design Week 2013 earlier this month, where the two-dimensional lightweight furniture is still on display. Obviously the chairs won’t be ideal for long periods of time, but I think they’ll be fine if you just need a moment or two of rest.

‘Canvas’ was designed by spatial designer Naoki Ono, who is the founder of Tokyo-based YOY design studio.

Creative T3150 Bluetooth Speakers

Creative T3150 Bluetooth Speakers Creative has just announced their latest addition to the market, which would be the T3150 Bluetooth speakers that carry an extremely portable design despite maintaining a traditional look. The Creative T3150 Bluetooth speaker can be best described to be an entry-level, 2.1-channel PC speaker whenever you cast your eyes on it, where it also packs stereo Bluetooth audio connectivity that enables it to handle mobile devices without batting an eyelid.

Of course, Creative also mentioned that the T3150 will feature an Image Focusing Plate that helps to widen the listening sweet spot, which should be, er, for the lack of a better word, music to your ears. It will cost approximately $100 after conversion for a purported May release, and for those who have yet to own a single speaker system at home, perhaps the Creative T3150 Bluetooth speaker might be a good place to start, as it will play nice with other audio devices, in addition to offering wireless connectivity as well when it comes to audio streaming. Certainly the best of both worlds warrant your attention (and money)?

Creative T3150 delivers stealthy, 2.1-channel Bluetooth audio on the cheap

Creative T3150 delivers stealthy, 21channel Bluetooth speakers on the cheap

Bluetooth speakers still tend to revolve around portable designs, but there’s been a gradual shift toward traditional-looking speakers that just happen to have short-range wireless as an option. Creative’s T3150 is proof positive: while it’s an entry-level, 2.1-channel PC speaker on the outside, it stuffs in stereo Bluetooth audio to handle mobile devices in a pinch. Mind you, that’s not the only thing Creative is stealthy about. Although the company is willing to say that the T3150 has an Image Focusing Plate to widen the listening sweet spot, there’s no mention of the power output; we’ve reached out for more detail. At prices of £60 and €70 (around $100) for the planned May launch, though, we’d expect a modest amount of wireless audio power.
