«Rapidement, quelles figures historiques vivaient il y a environ cinq cents ans?» C’est une question complexe que pose le Washington Post sur son site. En pensant à Christophe Colomb, on peut alors se souvenir de Ferdinand le Catholique. «Mais pour la plupart d’entre nous, écrit le site, ce qui va nous venir à l’esprit est probablement le bourdonnement du néant, ou le doux chant des criquets.» Et effectivement, nos souvenirs de collège et de lycée en matière d’histoire peuvent avoir tendance à se transformer en une sorte de mélasse dont il est difficile d’extirper les éléments clefs.
C’est pour cela que le site américain relaie le projet de Tim Urban, qui gère le blog Wait But Why, et qui propose une autre façon d’aborder les milliers d’années d’histoire de l’humanité: «l’histoire horizontale».

UN MASQUE POUR RESPIRER SOUS L'EAU !

Le designer coréen Jeabyun Yeon vient d'inventer un masque de plongée sous-marine révolutionnaire qui permet de respirer sous l'eau (un peu comme Obi wan Kenobi dans Star Wars).  Un genre de branchies artificielles qui extrait l'oxygène sous l'eau à travers un filtre avec des trous plus petits que les molécules d'eau à l'aide d'un puissant micro compresseur qui comprime et stocke l'oxygène puis le renvoi dans les narines.

Stella Artois' Unique Dining Experience Engages the Five Senses

Published: Aug 11, 2015 
This fall, Toronto will be host to a unique dining experience from Stella Artois called the 'Sensorium.'

The three-week experience is one part dining and one part theater, based around the idea of involving all of the senses when eating and drinking. A gigantic dome will be set up for the event, which will serve as the immersive 360-degree theater for the tasting and viewings to go on. For instance, when eating a course of seafood, projection mapping will turn the interior of the dome into an underwater environment. Salty scents from the sea will be projected in order to really recreate the feeling of being by the ocean.

Considering that tickets have been flying off the shelves and it's anticipated that more than 2,000 people will attend this unique dining event, the pop-up dome gives the brand flexibility to bring the Sensorium to other global cities.

Instant Touchscreen Devices

Published: Aug 11, 2015
Technology is being incorporated into every facet of life and is moving forward with useful tools like the any surface touchscreen.

The 'Ubi' sensor can turn any surface into a touchscreen and can be used in both professional environments or for personal projects. The device can be used for school or work presentations and allows users to control what's on the screen. In the future, a device like this could streamline any sort of selection process by presenting the information faster and in a way that is more interactive.

The device lets you use any Windows application with three different options -- the most simple being the 'finger-swipe' and 'in-air gestures' options, which allow simple command-based controls and the 'uni-pen' which acts as a virtual whiteboard on any surface. 

Transwheel concept proves future delivery drones don’t necessarily need to fly

as a final project at shenkar college in israel, industrial design student kobi shiker introduces a set of  concept robot drones named ‘transwheel’, that will help in the field of transportation and delivery. it is an autonomous robotic wheel what a self balancing system with retractable electric arms and GPS communication capabilities that enable it to operate in isolation or as a troop. they’d be able to carry out delivery needs around the clock, as small as courier boxes and as big as shipping containers. kobi’s ‘transwheel’ concept expands upon unmanned flying drones that are getting a fair amount of development from popular stores like amazon and walmart, with wheeled counterparts that would be more robust and versatile.
