Sixth Sense

This looks like it is going to be an AMAZING product! A digital computor style product which projects onto any surface in-front of you. With finger pockets sending information to the device, natural movements create the human interaction. Drawing a circle on your wrist projects a watch, whereas creating a picture frame with your fingers makes the system take a photo as well as projecting a telephone onto your hand and allowing you to press ring. All in a device around your neck. The scope for improving and expanding these technologies and ideas is enormous and they may be in the shops within the next 5 years. The prototype only costed £350 and the price would not increase and therefore the product is aiming to rival mobile phones.

It looks incredible and if you want to find out more watch the video on:

Aerogenerator

The new wind turbine designed to help the UK reach their ecological needs. Designed by NOVA the turbine is the conventional design but tipped on it's side out a sea. The design is one of the three projects funded by the government to reach it's ambition targets in eco-energy. The design is built with the mechanics at the base which should therefore reduce the costs of building and maintaining the design. The design looks as if it will be an attractive blip to a horizon and could bring about a lot of mixed feelings, but with the designs being built 30m further out to sea than any current offshore wind power designs the hope is that it will be a design that will bring hope to the UKs ecological ambitions.
