ASG, a private K-12 college preparatory school in Guatemala City, partnered with local security integrator Grupo RQM and HID to replace its legacy system, […]
A Treehugger report recently extolled the virtues of biophilic design — basically, the use of tech strategies, and other elements which mimic natural sources to produce certain behavioral goals. Biophilic office design assumes that the human brain responds better to greenery or other scenery which mimics nature. As one Treehugger writer noted, “Studies have linked […]
I’ve blogged before about the importance of considering “human-centric” or “circadian lighting” patterns for offices — both at home and in commercial buildings. For those unfamiliar, this concept centers around the idea that humans respond better to lighting which mirrors the natural lighting cycle of the sky – so, whitish, blueish light midday; warmer, “orange” […]
People with asthma typically carry their inhaler with them wherever they go – but if they’re keen on modern asthma monitoring technology, then they’ll also be sure to carry their smartphone. The Asthma Guardian by Resmonics is a system to help asthmatics gain more control over their condition. According to a recent Tech Acute report: […]
Is this website slowly becoming a birder’s haven? Maybe if you’re a birder who is also interested in technology. First, we blogged about how biomimetic studies of the Northern Goshawk were used to create a more adaptable drone. Now, we’re seeing something more immediately-applicable in the real world, and it’s all thanks to owls. Research […]
The term ‘biomimicry’ sort of goes hand-in-hand with wellness and calm. After all, biomimicry is often used to solve problems like employee satisfaction and productivity with calming, nature-based methods, such as bioluminscent lighting. But what about the other practical scenarios where a less-comforting solution is required? There’s absolutely nothing comforting about this robotic tongue, as […]
Biomimicry has proven itself capable of soothing stressed employees’ minds and having potential lighting applications. Now, it’s being used to re-engineer drone flight. You could argue that engineers have looked to the wings of birds for inspiration even hundreds of years before the first airplane successfully took flight. But, of course, drones are still relatively […]
Bioluminescence is the science of tiny, light-emitting plankton — and it might be a source of sustainable, zero-energy lighting if harnessed at scale. That’s what PyroFarms hopes for, anyway. A report from Grit Daily recently covered the company. It explored how they harness bioluminescent dinoflagellates, the glowing things, to create small, focused light sources which […]
