Loop Reactive Surfaces by Josh Rubin
Using the name Loop, Rachel Wingfield develops light emitting fabrics that respond to their environment. Window coverings, wall papers and bed spreads comprise some of her research in to how light can be reactive to presence and emotionally influential. Each of her pieces are gorgeous, in addition to being functional.

Off The Wall
Technologically speaking, the "On/Off Switch" by Tobias Wong may not be as advanced as its kitschy precursor The Clapper, but it's surely a hell of a lot classier. Wong has emancipated the familiar lightswitch from its predictable position on the wall, encased it in lucite and placed it literally in the palm of your hand. Essentially a remote control for home lighting, this wireless...

TiO2 Paint
Last year the BBC reviewed a new glass coating that is self cleaning and anti-bacterial. Made from Titanium Dioxide (TiO2), the surface reacts with light to do its job. Two product extensions are now available from Japan-- TiO2 paint and household spray. They basically work the same way, reacting to sunlight, but are used to create more sterile interior spaces. As explained by Dr....

Augmented Reality via Projection
The Mitsubishi Electric Research Lab (MERL) has combined RFID, photo sensors and portable projectors to make a goggle free augmented reality system. Ok, this time in plain english... it's a flash light that shows you information about whatever the light is shining on. Currently being demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2004, it's intended use is for inventory tracking, but the possibilities are pretty far reaching. via...

LED Mirror
This Mirror from Suck has an LED display that can be programmed to scroll whatever text you want. The nifty thing is that the LEDs are hidden behind the glass so the mirror's surface is clean and simple (and when the lights are off, you have no idea they're even there). via apartment therapy...

SMS Chandelier
Nested somewhere between the techy opulence of the Vertu and the creative genius of Jenny Holzer comes Lolita the SMS enabled chandelier by Ron Arad. The piece is one from a series commissioned by Swarovski for the Milan Design Week. It consists of thousands of crystals and LEDs woven in to a stunning spiral display for whatever text message you send to it....

New Hologram Tech
Hitachi (Japan) announced that it has developed a holographic-like display called the Transpost, which allows 360 degree viewing of an object rendered in light without wearing any special glasses. The whole set up is about 6 feet tall and is reportedly being developed for use in shop displays and games. Transpost uses a combination of mirrors and light to create the image....
