A Brief History of Cargo Pants, and an Extreme 18-Pocket Modern Version
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=vhtgKb5hlIs
We all know that military technology eventually trickles down to the consumer sector. GPS, microwaves, the internet, digital photography, and even duct tape all began with defense applications.
One of these that's often overlooked is cargo pants. A British invention from 1938, they met World War II's need for British troops to carry maps, extra ammunition and medical supplies.
American paratroopers adopted them shortly thereafter; because these soldiers jumped out of planes wearing anywhere from 70 to 160 pounds of kit, being able to distribute some of the load into leg pockets was a welcome innovation.

KM Home
A prime example of extraordinary design solutions that seamlessly blend aesthetics with practicality is the private residence of designer Karina Mayer and architect Danylo Koshulynskyy, the creative minds behind the successful interior studio Koshulynskyy & Mayer. The designer-architect couple was far from satisfied with the developer’s original layout. Rather than conforming to a design that [...]

From his mountainside studio in Nova Friburgo, Brazil, Guy Laramée (previously) creates otherworldly sculptures that mirror nearby peaks like Pico da Caledônia. Using a unique method of blasting antique books with high-pressure water and stripping them of their covers, he manipulates the bound text blocks into craggy cliff faces and rocky promontories.
When viewed from certain angles, each sculpture’s identity as volumes of text nearly vanishes as we perceive mountains in miniature. As one moves around the pieces, the rigid form of stitched binding appears or printed pages ruffle and hint and the contents.

Seventh Time's the Charm? The Ring Mouse Offers Finger-Borne Gesture Control
https://invidious.privacyredirect.com/watch?v=Su3n2slNRKo
Wearable tech is now common, arguably thanks to the Apple Watch. That product struggled upon its 2015 launch, but the eventual additions of features people wanted—health and fitness monitoring, ecosystem integration—pushed it into the mainstream within a few years.
Competitiors have since popped up, and the wrist is now as viable a product battleground as the pocket or desktop. But one wearable tech location that no one's cracked yet is the finger. Many have tried. By our count at least six companies have attempted to launch a smart ring that would allow gesture control, dating as far back as...
Unlocking Innovation with Psycho-Aesthetics 2.0
Customers in today's markets have high expectations in terms of functionality, performance and usability. Successful products and services must be innovative and connect with their audience to encourage adoption and embrace new ideas.

"I trigger emotions through an object and prefer a candle or a fireplace in a house instead of a high-tech lighting device,"...
Is Excessive Smartphone Use a Design Problem, or a Human Nature Problem?
These days, even an economy car can reach 100 mph. Sports cars can double that. Despite having the power to do so, few drivers zoom around at such speeds, understanding that the potential consequences—a speeding ticket, license revocation or a deadly accident—can be bad.
However, people have demonstrated no such self-control with smartphones. Study after study cite the negative effects of too much screentime. Live concerts, school recitals and sporting events are filled with people who are there in person, yet fastidiously recording the moments rather than experiencing them directly. During idle moments at home, doomscrolling, social-media-driven envy and...
