EMS

Ah orchestra. Twas not long ago when I was playing in a band and one of my biggest peeves was carrying butt loads of sheet music. The EMS (E-paper Music Score) solves that mess by using E-paper technology. This single flexible screen can be unrolled and feed sheet music via bluetooth from a computer. Best part is the included foot peddle which virtually turns the pages. Clever clever.

The concept of the day is an ADM (Analogue/Digital Mixer) by the designer Christian Sterngren. ADM is a concept device for organizing music productions on a mixerboard and is based on envisaging the actual route of the audio signal with the help of conventional stuffs in an ordered way and in different combinations.

Cocoon

We yesterday spoke off the Consol design that could hook to electronic gadgets and become an interface for a cherishable computing experience. The fantasies were not yet over, and we now have another reason to imagine the impossible. The reason is called Cocoon and it wants to the take the level of computing to a height never thought of. The researchers over NAU want to make it a computer that comprehends human interfacing thus understanding the movements of the hands, the legs and other external parts of our body. The user could actually step inside it and gather all the information he wants by kind of grabbing it. It would be a circular screen on the inside, along with surround sound and all this combined with human interfacing would put the Cocoon on top of the list when talking about user friendly devices. Connect it to the web or enjoy the games, it means a scintillating experience at all times.

Cat's Paw USB flash drive

On the sickeningly cute side of USB flash drives come these Cat’s Paw drives. The Cat’s Paw USB flash drive comes in just one memory size, 2GB, but on the other paw hand you can choose from blue, black and white colors. The price is a steep $61.38, but maybe it could be your new lucky charm. Sort of a modern day rabbit’s foot that holds data and occasionally grants wishes. It should be noted that if you have actual cats, they’re going to wonder who lost a paw and if they are next. I like to think that the white/pink one is a limited edition of four that they acquired after holding Hello Kitty down in a butcher’s shop, but that’s just me.
