Chinese element internationalization

The 3D Material Straw is the ultimate hi-tech designer’s tool that goes beyond the limitations of photography for design research and uses discoveries from MIT’s recent exploration into elastomer sensitivity for recording true-to-life 3D surfaces and textures. When the devices is pressed into an object, the elastomer component mimics the surface and records information into a digital file format that can be used as an additional element in the design process.

Odor menu

Our senses play such an important role regarding our perception of food. A sexy looking steak with perfectly mashed potatoes on a menu card or the sweet smell of a freshly baked pie is to simply entice you with sight and smell. To allow the visually challenged folks enjoy a similar enticing experience, we have here the Odor Menu. It’s a menu card enhanced with Braille menu and appetizing food-smells that corresponding with the dish. This not only helps them place orders but also replicates the experience of browsing a visually appealing menu card.
