Tenori Pop Makes Spaces Come Alive

Created by NTT IT as an interactive art piece, Tenori Pop has evolved into an interesting marketing tool to connect physically with consumers using digital projections.

Overhead projectors combined with digital cameras can detect an outstretched hand and instantly beam an image onto the hand. As the hand moves, the image follows with it, and can be combined with other images to create something new. For example, bringing a “sun” image and a “rain” image together can create a combination “flower” image onto the joined hands in the space where they meet. In addition, it can be used as a group so people can enjoy it together, passing images to each other and playing games. Most importantly, it makes people stop and pay attention!

Trend potential
While digital art projects are often fun for users, they’re often impractical for real-world marketing situations. Tenori Pop engages users in a fun way, and goes so far as to physically join brands and consumers, even if only for a brief digital moment.

Bookshelf Speakers come alive with Soundshelf

These great bookshelf speakers concept is definitely a practicality that has been waiting to happen, and thanks to Soundshelf this hopefully will actually see the light of day.

The Soundhself takes the place of regular bookshelf speakers by combining the sound speaker design with practical book, cd, or dvd shelf storage. As can be seen in the concept images, the shelf is just like any other seen but is an actual functioning speaker, thus allowing you to arrange the room based on your music preference and not the other way around.

I really hopes someone picks up this speaker design and makes it true or perhaps innovates on top of it, in case you want additional shelves, sound surround or a different design.
