Using the latest technology in household appliances

When this cute little thing finally hits the market, you will no longer have to think about, for example, in what conditions this or that package of cheese or yogurt was stored before you get to the counter. Suddenly, despite the expiration date, the product has already deteriorated? Sustainable Shoping will answer these and other tricky questions.

This concept device not only determines the calorie content of a particular product, but also adjusts to your diet, giving recommendations on which products are best for you (taking into account the conditions of their production, packaging and transportation).

In addition, the device has a built-in catalog of stores and companies interacting with them. This allows Sustainable Shoping to tell you where to buy a particular product for less.

an alarm mat, a whimsical oven and a mug with internet access.

In order to get out of bed in the morning, you need to lower your legs from the bed and stand on the floor. This is the basis of the idea of ​​the Carpet Alarm Clock. It will not stop ringing until you step on it. (Yes, yes, the time in the picture is 8:20, and not what it seems at first glance to a person who is barely awake).

True, any killer of alarm clocks will tell you that nothing will prevent him from getting on the rug and then crawling back into bed. An alarm clock pouring cold water on the sleeper would definitely be better.

But, if you still manage to get up, the smart kitchen will try to make your morning perfect and balanced.

Since we are talking about proper nutrition and sustainable development, we cannot fail to mention another device that embodies the principles of a rational lifestyle. Alight Kitchen is a kitchen system designed to minimize waste. It is designed, according to the intention of its creators, to point out to the people of the modern world how much they consume and how wrong they are eating.

For example, food and drink packages are stored in the kitchen cooling chamber for only three days. The kitchen is equipped with a smart oven that automatically calculates the ideal time and temperature for reheating food by reading barcodes from them. In addition, the oven is so “smart” that it does not allow itself to be turned on for a longer time than it should be, from the point of view of rational use of electricity. An integrated dishwasher saves water by storing and filtering used water from a previous dishwash.

The ideal dream of the ideal housewife. Only when at night you want to warm up a sandwich for yourself, and the oven suddenly refuses to turn on under the pretext that it is “irrational”, you will once again curse the concept of sustainable development.

However, not all inventors are so cruel to humanity.

Absolutely futuristic concept of a computer gadget from designers Hyuh-Jin Lee and Hyeroung Choen. It is simply called The Cup (apparently, all the creative reserves were spent on the development of the concept). You are unlikely to carry it with you; such a gadget can be used more likely at home or in the office.

With the help of the Cup, you can share information, literally pouring it, like water, into the same cup, or synchronize it with any device. In addition, the Cup in an overturned position projects the holographic interface of the operating system installed on it – no keyboard or monitor (hello, “Minority Report”!).

But with the concept of the Yuno PC mug, you can do much more interesting things. Although it is possible to drink from it, we have not found out.

To create this miracle, electronic paper technology is used: the concept of a computer mug by designer Jason Farsai. According to him, with the help of Yuno PC you can get everything you need from your computer in the morning without distracting from breakfast. Checking emails, reading a blog, planning a route to work or watching a weather report – in the near future you will not need to bring your laptop at the dinner table and risk pouring your morning coffee.

What information do you want to receive in the morning? The Yuno PC mug has an e-mail client, browser and a number of Google applications built in. It also resembles a thermos glass from Starbucks, a fashion fetish.

All finished with the kitchen. We go out into the street. And not to get lost in any corner of the planet will help a device invented by designer Mac Funamitsu.

Designed by designer Mac Funamitsu, this concept mobile device is difficult to describe in a nutshell. It has Wi-Fi, scanner, built-in camera, image browser, Google apps. But the main distinguishing feature is the advanced search function, the essence of which is as follows: you point the device at the building you are interested in and immediately receive information about it. And that is not all.

Using this function, you can get literally any information: what kind of insect is crawling under your feet, how the word is translated in the newspaper, what car passed by, who lives on such and such a floor of such and such a house – you just need to point the device at the one you are interested in. an object. This device, one might say, is just a godsend for intelligence officers and those who like to play James Bond.

But for sure this device does not know what a business card ring is!

A handshake is a generally accepted way of greeting almost all over the world, whether it be a meeting of friends or a business dinner. Among men, we have to clarify. Designer Hideaki Matsui put this tradition to good use: he designed the concept of a so-called information ring that could replace a business card.

The principle is simple: information about you (name, surname, phone number, company, etc.) is recorded on an information ring that you wear on your finger. When you shake hands, information is automatically transmitted to the person you are shaking hands with, if he, of course, has the same ring. In order to view information about people you have recently met, you need to insert the ring into a special card equipped with a display. Both devices are powered by human body heat.
