Robern M Series with Night Light
With the introduction of an integrated night light and electrical enhancements for the popular M Series mirrored cabinets, Robern continues to innovate and lead the bath storage and luxury mirrored cabinet industry. Robern, a promoter of user-friendly and stylish personal vanity environments, previously pioneered other features, including interior mirrors, lock boxes and integrated electrical outlets.
In an effort to increase utility, Robern has enhanced its popular M Series mirrored cabinets with an integrated night light. Discreetly located in the finger pull of the door, the soft blue LED light heightens functionality without compromising style. Soft on the eyes, the LED light provides adequate illumination to safely complete all routine bathroom tasks. These new doors feature a light sensor that automatically turns on the light in low-light conditions. Users can also choose to manually control the night light. Robern is pairing these cabinets with an electrical shelf upgrade.
“Sometimes the most inspired ideas are the simplest,” says Steve Bissell, president of Robern. “The addition of an integrated night light to a mirrored cabinet tells consumers a lot about how Robern designers focus not just on quality and great looks, but also on ergonomics and function. Who wouldn’t like to walk into his or her bathroom at night and find a softly glowing cabinet that allows them to navigate easily or even look through the mirrored cabinet?”

The Moebius Display
Moebius display is a new output interfase development.
This interfase is a simple LED (light emitting diode) screen that has a spatial and conceptual modification.Instead of being flat as the majority of screens, it is moebius stripe shaped, a three-dimensional representation of the infinite. T his new space for expression is one of the first non-Euclidean space as an output for a computer, and brings to surface many questions about visual and spatial representations. The idea of looking at an image or a word moving in a one sided three dimensional object expresses ambiguity. the piece is always showing at the same time two contradictory ideas, two poles sharing the same space.
“This project started as an art installation in 2004 while I was as a visiting scholar at UCLA,” Bonadeo explained me when i asked him if he had heard of Vital Signs, a similar project envisioned by nArchitects. “A year later I received a grant from Telefonica Foundation to develop this project. During 2005 I saw the posting from nArchitects in an architecture weblog, I contacted them but they told me that was only a project and they never developped it.”

Light up the city with Dexia !
LAb[au] is happy to announce you its new urban interactive installation Touch on the Dexia Tower and Place Rogier in Brussels, Belgium. The project takes as a starting point Brussels 145 m high Dexia Tower, from which 4200 windows can be individually colour-enlightened by RGB-led bars, turning the faade into an immense display.
Instead of considering this infrastructure as a flat screen (surface) displaying pre-rendered video loops, the project is working on the architectural characteristics of the tower and its urban context. The characteristics of the building; orientation, volume, scale… are used as parameters to set up a spatial, temporal and luminous concept, which moreover allows people to directly interact with the tower.
On Place Rogier, at the bottom of the tower, a station is mounted where people can interact either individually or collectively with the tower through a multi touch screen. Both static (touch) as dynamic input (gesture) is recognized to generate an elementary graphical language of points, lines and surfaces combined with physical behaviours (growth, weight, …) taking a monochromatic colour palette (background) combined with black and white (graphical elements).
Once a composition is created, it can be sent as an electronic postcard with a snapshot from the tower, taken from a distant location. It is also uploaded on the specific project website ( www.dexia-tower.com ) where people can retrieve their postcard, as electronic and printable format, with Christmas and New Years wishes from Brussels.

The Who’s 2006/2007 World Tour by Barco Lights
Barco announces that Hollywood-based XL Video has selected Barco LED, projection and image processing equipment as the focal point of The Who’s stage set for their current World Tour. Now on its North American leg, the tour’s graphically rich production is being called “a cornucopia of visuals” by music critics and attendees alike.
Barco gear includes dual ELM R18 projectors for the center I-mag screen above the proscenium arch, two SLM R12 projectors for the side screens, and five individual 9’ x 12’ DLITE7 LED screens on stage powered by a custom G&G Motion Control System. Backstage, Barco’s ENCORE Presentation System drives the LED screens.
In terms of configuration, the five Barco DLITE screens provide the show’s creative palette, enabling a completely different physical and graphical “look” for each song. All screens have the freedom to move both horizontally and vertically. They can be combined into a single seamless 45’ cinemascope screen, or five individual panels at various angles, or a configuration that combines a three-panel widescreen flanked by two single panels.

COOLLIGHT - Winner of House Party Design Competition
Recently, designboom had a “house party” design competition, and after looking at 3070 designers from 89 different countries, they decided on the top 3. Wen-Haur Yen from Taiwan took first place and in his own words describes his invention:
COOLIGHT combines a handle and a steel cylinder filled with cryogen. When you need an ice beer, just put the COOLIGHT into the beer bottle. It would help you to cool down the beer as soon as possible. On the top of the handle , there is a cork made by rubber would fix the hole device and the bottle close together, and you can drink the beer through the hole on the top of it. COOLIGHT has another convenient device on its body, LED. LED would display the information of time and temperature in order that you could know what time it is or what the temperature of the beer. Besides, LED provides several different colors to show the identification (identify itself) from others, and different light gives different atmosphere of the party. And it would be a good subject of a beginning talk.
