Optik Lens

optik-lensIn the coming years, you have to get ready for the superhuman vision, which is possible with the help of a new type of contact lens called the iOptik Lens. Yes! This is not something from a science fiction and this is not a joke too. A company called Innovega has developed this latest contact eye lens, which allows a human to focus more than a single object at the same time. While the Google glasses have already created a buzz in the technology world, now iOptik lens is gradually drawing the attention of tech lovers.

Why iOptik is Special?
The humans are capable of focusing only one object at a time, and can just get an unfocused view of another object while focusing the other. However, Innovega has come up with the latest innovation that changes the way humans can see, which is quite a superhuman thing. With the help of iOptik eye lenses, a human can now focus two objects simultaneously. To explain exactly, we can now see two fields of our vision, that is, we can concentrate our focus on one object, and at the same time, we can concentrate on the background details of our vision too. Thus, iOptik optics lens is, in fact, an awesome innovation that exceeds what the nature has given for humans.


The Power Of Technology
In addition to manufacturing the contact lenses, Innovega also is manufacturing glasses based on the same iOptik concept of visual projection. The company introduced these glasses in this year’s Consumer Electronics Show. The official reports from the company suggests us that, using these glasses, the wearer can focus on his mobile phone while taking a look at the things around him or her simultaneously. So, when will you get your pair of iOptik glasses or the contact lenses? The company says that it has plans to introduce the iOptik lenses and glasses in the commercial market by the year of 2014

Chair With Backbone

backbone-chair

A new chair is making people reconsider the way they sit, and even the way they decorate. The chair, Chair-Based (it is also sometimes referred to as Chair-Bsed) by Anastasiya Gavrilova, looks like an actual backbone. It features a head rest that cradles the head and neck portions, and a backbone which fits with the sitter’s own backbone. The seat of the chair is balanced on two feet. This chair is meant to provide spinal support. According to the designer, it is supposed to provide “correct bearing,” and even have a “massage effect.” On top of being an ergonomically correct chair, it also has an eye-catching design that has never been seen before. The chair was produced using rubber, plastic, and metal, which makes it durable. It can also be adjusted to each person’s height.

An ergonomically correct chair has many benefits for anyone who spends a lot of time sitting. It can provide comfort without pressure or strain on the body, including the muscles, joints, and ligaments. A proper chair also ensures that the central nervous system is healthy.

If you love Anastasiya Gavrilova’s chair design, you can also see more of her work in the field of architecture, design, and furniture design on the Behance network. If you would like an ergonomically correct chair, but just want to find one at your local office supply store, here is what you should look for:

Ice Hotel

An ice hotel is a temporary hotel made up of snow, sculpted blocks of ice, and, in some cases, some steel framing. They are promoted by their sponsors and have special features for travelers who are interested in novelties and unusual environments, and thus are in the class of destination hotels. Their lobbies are often filled with ice sculptures, and food and beverages are specially chosen for the circumstances.
All of the ice hotels are reconstructed every year, and are dependent upon constant sub-freezing temperatures during construction and operation. The walls, fixtures, and fittings are made entirely of ice or compacted snow, and are held together using a substance known as snice, which takes the place of mortar in a traditional brick-built hotel.

Human and Robots

Visions of the Future


The future is not written yet and who knows whether robots are dangerous or not. What is for sure is that humans, being the curious beings, will develop new advanced generations of robots.
It happens so that people and robots go together in this life side by side, in some spheres of life they are even interchangeable and who knows into what this opposition “Human and Robots” will translate. Robots and humans that live and prosper together…Or robots will realize they don’t need that much…
