Future of the day. DuoSkin: Functional, stylish on-skin user interfaces

DuoSkin:Functional, stylish on-skin user interfaces from MIT Media Lab on Vimeo.

DuoSkin is a fabrication process that enables anyone to create customized
functional devices that can be attached directly on their skin. Using gold metal leaf, a
material that is cheap, skin-friendly, and robust for everyday
wear, we demonstrate three types of on-skin interfaces: sensing touch
input, displaying output, and wireless communication. DuoSkin draws from
the aesthetics found in metallic jewelry-like temporary tattoos to create
on-skin devices which resemble jewelry. DuoSkin devices enable users to
control their mobile devices, display information, and store information on
their skin while serving as a statement of personal style. We believe that in the
future, on-skin electronics will no longer be black-boxed and mystified; instead,
they will converge towards the user friendliness, extensibility, and
aesthetics of body decorations, forming a DuoSkin integrated to the extent that
it has seemingly disappeared.

Idea of the day. Samsonite - I Wish I Had A Samsonite

via contagious.io

How Samsonite transformed travellers into a new original and targeted media.
People are constantly on the move and Samsonite wanted them to spread the message that they can now opt for the next generation of suitcases… 

As one of the world's leading, iconic travel brands, Samsonite make some of the strongest, lightest and most secure luggage in order to accompany voyagers on their travels. 

But instead of using traditional media channels, they found a more interesting way to inspire brand desire.

When people lack trust in their baggage they often use a plastic wrapping service before checking in their bags at the airport. 
So, we created a free wrapping service offered to every traveller who didn’t own a Samsonite. 

But, on one condition… we re-designed the wrapping with a clear message… ‘I wish I had a Samsonite’.

The travellers were happy to get a free wrapping and Samsonite was able to spread their product message everywhere. 
With over 1200 suitcases wrapped, the Samsonite message travelled to over 120 destinations around the world, showing travellers everywhere that the time has come to upgrade their luggage to a brand new Samsonite

The event takes part as a tactical complement to the Hyper-mobility campaign deployed across Europe. To be continued in other airports around the world…

via contagious.io

Our best mates are easily distracted, and as a result, they can be difficult to take a good photo of. To help, we’ve created DogSelfie by Pedigree® DentaStix™, an app that takes perfect photos of you and your dog. The App uses your iPhone’s camera flash and attention grabbing sounds, like squeaky toys and birds chirping, to get your dog looking directly at the camera. Every snap is saved to your phone’s photo feed, and you can share your pic on social media directly from the app. Find out more here: http://pedigree.com.au/dogselfie/
