Design Research: two new technologies


MultiBook

The MultiBook, by Rotaliana, is a new technology device that functions as several things at one time. This device functions as a digital clock, calender, a light source, and three different ports for charging electronics. An advantage to this device is that all the perks of the device itself are centrally located. This object could be placed on a desk as if it were a book laying on the surface of the desk. With this though you would also have a light source for the desk, and clock, and charging ports. Everything functions within one object. I personally like this and would purchase it if I knew that the cords would not be too noticeable because, I would want a viewer to first think that it is a regular book.

Philips Aurea television

This television is widely being accepted for the appearance that it portrays. This device is a flat screen, which is popular at the time because of the flat look and the amount of space that the object takes up. Many like being able to mount the television on the wall instead of having a piece of furniture for the TV to sit on. The purpose of the design is to have the colors reflect onto the rim of the TV and onto the wall. With this a neat arrangement of colors occur as the colors of the programs change within the television. I personally like this television and the effects it has on the wall on which it sits and the room which it is in. I would purchase this product especially if this is the effect that I would want my room to have.
