Sensor Products Inc.'s tactile surface sensors - Core77 - 14:42
Here's a neat material technology you can integrate into your next product concept: Thin film tactile surface sensors. Sensor Products Inc. is a company specializing in the mapping of tactile pressure, and the data they glean can lead to design improvements for everything from windshield wipers to mattresses to body armor.
A few examples: Their Tactilus Real-Time Surface Pressure Mapping Technology, for example, is an electronic skin that precisely measures pressure distribution and magnitude and relays that data to a computer; their Bodyfitter surface sensor measures seat surface, back rest and head rest...
Hoodie Origami: Fold your sweatshirt into a laptop bag, baby carrier, etc - Core77 - 13:44
Woah!
Antonio Scarponi, founder of Conceptual Devices, has worked out a way to fold your regular hoodie into a laptop bag, baby carrier, pillow, backpack and strap bag. Memorize it to impress people in a pinch. Might also be good for that lazy look (come on, we know you can pull it off).

Boym, Henderson & Allen on the cover of Real Simple - Core77 - 13:08
We love this idea: for its April cover (the 10th anniversary issue), Real Simple commissioned three clocks from three US designers: Boym Studio, Scott Henderson, and Harry Allen, as pictured from left to right. The issue offers readers "the gift of time," something the one-off clocks reflect very well.
These pieces are, unfortunately, not in production yet, but there is the additional bonus of a clock screensaver by Alan Dye, coming soon.
More magazines should follow suit!

The Social Innovator Series is the culmination of a major two year collaboration between the UK's National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) and The Young Foundation to develop a rich, practical resource for social innovators. It is a collection of publications and accompanying website that reveal the vast potential of a new social economy.

Earshell, by Kawamura-Ganjavian - Core77 - 12:30
Following Eat with your Fingers and Scenter (pictured below), Earshell is the third object in Kawamura-Ganjavian's series about sensory experience, amplifying hearing through a device that is part-jewelry, part-listening horn.
From the studio:
We use earrings as symbols of distinction since time immemorial, however they are not particularly useful items. The EARSHELL is a simple, efficient and elegant sound enhancing device. It can be used to improve our listening of music or opera. Its refined and sleek profile gives it a jewellery feel.
We love the idea of a whole audience sitting in...
In tension: Itay Laniado's ladder, walking stick and wooden wallet - Core77 - 11:44
Itay Laniado, whose Family Photos project we blogged last year, has created a new series that utilizes tension, comprising of three projects: a walking stick, a ladder and a wallet.
The walking stick is made from a broom handle that's split partway down the middle and held in tension by an orange cord and a wooden strut. Simple enough, but also weird and ingenious.
His wallet is equally direct: a routed block of hardwood provides a cavity for change and bills; a credit card is rubber banded over it to close it up.

Plastics advances: Stopping recycling from becoming onecycling - Core77 - 10:56
The recycling symbol is actually kind of deceptive. The three arrows in a circle implies that by recycling, we are enabling the material to live forever in our little product ecosystems. Yet there's lots of stuff that can only be recycled once, which is better than nothing but worse than great.
Take plastics, for instance:
Chandrasekhar Narayan, who leads I.B.M.'s science and technology team at its Almaden Research Center in San Jose, Calif., said the presence of metal catalysts in plastics means that they often can only be recycled once before ending up in a landfill.
"When you...
China's industrial design boom - Core77 - 09:26
A newscast released today by CCTV discusses China's industrial design boom. Unfortunately the newscast is poorly produced, poorly written ("industrial design" is written "industries design," for instance) and laden with good ol' Commie propaganda-speak (i.e. "highest levels of achievement," etc.), although, if the figures are to be believed, there are some interesting takeaways:
Chen Dongliang, Director, Beijing Industrial Design Center, said, "The output value of industrial design in Beijing reached 80 billion yuan in 2008. Now around 250-thousand employees are working for nearly 20-thousand design companies in the city. Beijing is also expanding technology service...
