Markus Fischer quoted: "It is a dream of mankind to fly like a bird."
Metal that Breathes
Image Recognition that triggers Augmentative Reality
The still painting is like an other ordinary piece of art although through the phone app the still drawing moves this is a form of augmentative reality. It portrays elements how we humans would see it through our eyes. In the video they show an example of a front page spread of a newspaper with a tennis player at a game when the phone is focused on the page the player starts to move as if they are at the match. This form if medium is innovative it allows people to display information a lot better than before as it is easier to understand elements when they are visible to the human eye. Visual elements are more entertaining and eye catching, this technology could be used in the future for things such as teaching.

This video shows a replica of a birds structure and the way they work. The light material and mechanism allows this robot to be aerodynamic and fly just like a bird. This idea of creating an aerodynamic robot is an innovative move especially with speculations of cars being able to fly in the future. With further research into structures and materials a similar mechanism for cars could be developed hopefully erasing the use of fuel which will run out in years to come. This is a method to help to reduce global warming.
The metal expands or contracts depending in the temperature by combining the the metal pieces together some will expand or contract depending on what type they are in order to not all move at the same time. The tiles move individually this provides ventilation but also shade from the sun. Using digital technology each piece of metal is different, they are programmed to be specific to its location and the angle of the sun. This metal is innovative in the sense that not only can it be used to air condition it can also be used for privacy instead of having to use blinds and curtains. The ability to use this material for many purposes will one help with global warming and the use of electricity as this's material serves as an air conditioning. The material breathes which means the room has ventilation this leads to less sprays being used to refresh. Airosols cans are also a contributor to global warming so the chance to be able to get rid of them will also be an addition to making the word environmentally friendly.
