Inexpensive, Inside-Out Parachutes Based on Kirigami

You've heard of origami, but perhaps not its cousin, kirigami. Origami involves folding paper. Kirigami goes a step further, adding cuts to the paper that allow it to form new shapes.

Researchers at Canada's Polytechnique Montréal started messing around with kirigami "purely out of curiousity," to see what would happen if they cut precise patterns of slits into a parachute. Their findings were surprising. By using a lasercutter to slit a plastic sheet…

…they found that when they dropped it from height, it achieved a remarkably smooth and straight downward flight.

They then began testing higher drops...

Google Japan's "Revolutionary" Gboard Dial Edition Keyboard

https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=BgdWyD0cBx4

It's time for Google Japan's annual wacky UI experiment, where they design an absurdist keyboard. (See previous ones here and here.) This year's iteration of the Gboard, as the object is called, is the Gboard Dial Edition. Its design harkens back to the time when rotary phones were king.

The pitch video for the design is hilarious (turn the subtitles on); the developers sing the praises of the "revolutionary" design completely deadpan.

Who says engineers don't have a sense of humor?

A Box with a Reversible Butterfly Lid

Aerohart is a Boston-based company that makes metal EDC-style objects inspired by flight, whether by airplanes or butterflies. Their business model is untraditional: Company founders Steph and Seb Emerson (of whom no details exist online) design something they like, then Kickstart it so that they can get paid to make a batch of them. In this manner they've done over a dozen projects.

The object of theirs that we're looking at today is this butterfly-inspired Flutterbox. CNC-machined out of aluminum, it has an absurdly overengineered hinged lid system that sort of turns inside out.

Интерфейс для самостоятельных пользователей

У меня уже месяца полтора в черновиках лежит такой текст: «Тим Кук думает, что голосовой помощник в телефоне это прикольно, потому что раньше для этого нужен был человек, а теперь это телефон. А для обычного человека это не так: я и раньше это делал в телефоне, а теперь мне просто предлагают по-другому, причём как-то менее прямолинейно». И всё не доходят руки развить мысль.

Ещё я думаю, что заметка Никиты Прокопова про ассистентов очень хорошая. Несколько раз уже к ней возвращался. В общем мысль мне хочется развить в сторону того, что хрен бы с ним с Тимом Куком, но важный вывод для себя как проектировщика интерфейса в том, что хороший интерфейс — как рычаг: он помогает человеку делать что-то самому, но без лишних усилий, и именно это приносит кайф....

A Better Design for Pill Cases

Brothers Tavish and Breton Rice shared an unfortunate experience: Watching their father, who suffers from a neurological condition, struggle with the vessels containing his numerous medications. "We watched our father go through every issue imaginable with his pill containers," they write. "Breaking, spilling, accidentally opening--constantly. Handling a flimsy plastic pill box is already a hassle, and even more so when your hands aren't working very well due to his disease.

"We tried every pill case we could find. Unfortunately, none worked for him."

The Rice brothers then set about producing a better pill case, and launched Ikigai Cases.

How to Use a Router to Create a Sphere

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOyzcbhCUmA/embed/?cr=1

Design/build firm Stand and Build operates out of a workshop in Long Island City. The staff, consisting of a dozen creatives, turns out furniture, fixtures, cabinetry, displays and more for both retail and residential clients.

An upcoming project required them to produce a large sphere, about two feet in diameter, made out of blue foam. The firm's clever Kristin Taibl, a/k/a KT, built a simple jig that gets the job done with a regular ol' router:

I well remember working with blue foam in my ID school days. I can almost guarantee that stuff is all...

Однажды китайский ученый Ли Хунь Янь обнаружил некоторую незначительную, однако, существенно отличающуюся от фона корреляцию между количеством псилоцибина потребляемого корфуцианскими медузами и характером передвижения оных по стенкам четырехсотлитровго шарообразного аквариума, установленного в лаборатории по случаю празднования сто второго полугодичного затмения от начала новой эры Сингулярного Прорыва. Недолго думая, Ли Хунь Янь приделал к щупальцам медуз источники излучения в видимом диапазоне но с разной длинной волны, заснял весь процесс шестью камерами с 48 часовой выдержкой, симметрично расставив последние вокруг сосуда, где резвились подопытные и через неделю собрал прелюбопытнейший материал, который, в свою очередь, лег в основу фундаментального труда, ныне известного, как теория полутретичных n-многообразий простой метрики Ли Хунь Янь, с которой (с некоторыми упрощениями и оговорками) я, по мере сил, постараюсь познакомить любопытного и пытливого читателя.
