The Mamma Salt Shaker by Soohun Jung Ensures Healthier Dosages

The Mamma Salt Shaker is a clever container that helps measure out the correct amount of seasoning for significantly healthier meals. Instead of relying on one’s own estimates, as cooks are wont to do, it ensures that people will be consuming meals that perfectly balance taste and health.

Designed by Soohun Jung, a design student based in Seoul, South Korea, the Mamma Salt Shaker looks like a…READ MORE.

AquaTop | Projected Digital Water Surface Display

Display turns water surface into an interactive digital screen

The AquaTop consists of a display projected onto the surface of water, controlled by interacting with the liquid.

New ways of interacting with digital displays can bring about important new possibilities for working – as the Kinect-based Intera system for surgeons has proved. Now Japanese researchers have unveiled the AquaTop, which consists of a display projected onto the surface of water, controlled by interacting with the liquid.

Demonstrated at the Laval Virtual conference in France earlier this year – where it won the Interface and Materials Award, as well as the Grand Prix – the interface was developed by researchers at the University of Electro-Communications in Tokyo. The AquaTop uses cloudy water to act as a projection surface and – similar to the Intera – detects gestures with a Kinect. The creators engineered the system to use the water surface as an integral part of its control – for example, one action is carried out when users dip their fingertips to interact with a screen object, and another when they approach the item from underneath the water. On-screen items also react to the movement of the water, meaning that they can be moved or changed by simply disrupting the surface with a splash, or scooping up the water and placing it elsewhere.

The system has currently been rigged up primarily as a platform for games – with an underwater speaker included to create ripples when a goal is achieved – although the researchers have also demonstrated how it could be used to interact with computer files such as images and video. The following video shows the AquaTop in action:

AquaTop shows the possibilities of widely-available consumer products in the creation of engaging and intuitive new ways to interact with digital objects. Considering how many of us take our devices with us wherever we go, this could be used practically – bringing electronics safely into the bathroom, for example – or for creating unique public displays. If water can become a medium for digital interaction, surely the possibilities are endless?

SEXCEREAL | Gender Based Cereal Boosts Sexual Health

Gender-based cereal is designed to improve sex life

Sexcereal is a breakfast wholefood designed to boost the sexual health of men and women, with distinct versions for each gender.

Most health food brands are marketed with a focus on what they can do for consumers’ weight, muscle or overall well-being. But what about sexual health? We’ve already seen The Icecreamists’ libido-boosting Sex Pistol ice cream, and now Sexcereal is a breakfast wholefood designed to improve the sex lives of men and women, with distinct versions for each gender.

BigLifeLiving – the startup behind the cereal – worked with nutrition experts to create two different oat-based products that would give both genders the ingredients their body needs to help them in the bedroom. The female version contains cranberries, almonds, ginger and sunflower – designed to balance hormones – while the male version includes bee pollen, black sesame, wheat germ and Camu Camu – with the aim of restoring energy and testosterone. Combining the wholefood with three tablespoons of Greek yogurt will provide protein, fiber, iron and omega 3, as well as the necessary nutrients to increase the libido and boost general health, according to the company. A 300-gram pack is priced at USD 9.95.

Sexcereal claims to be the first gender-based wholefood and its promotion is executed with the assumption that men and women traditionally want different things from health products, along with the science to back up its claims. The company is also keen to stress that the product is not simply a gimmick — but will customers share that view?
