Philips公司正在研究一種新的material. 想像家裡的牆壁可以隨時變色, 或是你的衣服可以隨時換圖案, 而且還會發亮…. 意思說你可以用顏色和圖案來表達自己當時的心情. 很有未來feel… XD 用這賣廣告的話一定很有趣. 世界慢慢變成電影Back to the Future的樣子? 不知道這種新發明有沒有市場, 會不會普及化呢?

Fancy a shirt that displays a video message to match your mood, a sofa that glows in the dark or even curtains that flash “Happy Christmas”? You’re in luck - from next year, photonic textiles from Philips will make that possible. Waterproof LEDs and wires are woven into the cloth and pre-programmed graphics will flash and appear to move over the surface. For early e-garments check out http://tinyurl.com/lsuwo

JVC’s Near Speaker Surround system will let people living in thin-walled apartments feel as if they are playing their DVDs really loud, except they won’t upset the neighbours. DVD video is fed soundlessly to the TV, while surround sound audio feeds a twin speaker box placed in front of the sofa. Clever phase and volume shifting fools the listener into thinking the music is twice as loud as it really is.
