Let the colors speak louder than words with this charger/tray that displays your emotions

We as humans are an emotional species; we express a diverse range of emotions that we either choose to bottle up inside or express up front! This can make the professional workspace a particularly challenging environment, and this is where Vibe really comes into play.

Vibe encourages communication between colleagues by allowing individuals to anonymously express their emotions through colors and chroma. The gradient of the color gradually changes as the team members update their emotional status; this allows everyone to visually comprehend the atmosphere of the team quickly and efficiently, leading to a more harmonious work environment!

Vibe isn’t just for expressing emotion, it can also be used to ask quick-fire questions to the rest of the team, such as ‘Who fancies a cuppa?’ or ‘Where are we heading after work?’ Could this be the perfect addition to the busy workplace?

Red (angry), Orange (joy), Purple (gloomy), Blue (sad), Green (comfy)

Emotional Input – Operation along the touch sensor located on the side of the display. First, select the color to represent the type of emotion and then adjust the chroma according to the depth of the emotion.

Vibe – The most basic function which can visualize the mood of past by stored atmosphere of the team, and the one’s own feeling.

Vibe Messenger – You can suggest simple actions to your team members and check reactions or respond to the suggestion. For example, want a coffeetime? > Absolutely (O) / Sorry (X)

Delay Mode – Delay mode can prevent people from suspecting you when they pay attention to you touching the device to express your emotions. After expressing your expression, the emotion is displayed on the devices of other team members after the time you set has passed.

Pierre Hardy’s VIBE sneakers embody the perfect Stormtrooper aesthetic

The black and white aesthetic is often lovably referred to as the Stormtrooper color finish, named after the bungling, comedic elite army force of the dark side on Star Wars. Truth be told, it isn’t just the use of black and white, but rather the interesting interplay between the two, and the combination of colors usually is usually heavier on the white than on the black. Pierre Hardy’s Vibe Sneakers, for instance, are a perfect embodiment of that aesthetic, with its jagged zebra-esque design that gives the shoes heavy dynamism and contrast, making them absolutely eye-catching and jaw-dropping.

Built with a gum sole and a calf-leather upper, the Vibe sneakers from Pierre Hardy are luxury and style wrapped in a singular package. Creating an edgy contrast with the racy geometric stripes, the Vibe’s patterns actually draw inspiration from sound waves, which are translated onto the shoe’s body by pairing leather cuts all the way from the bottom to the very top. While this Stormtrooper-esque version is my favorite, the Vibes come in an absolutely delicious gradient version too!

ASUS shows off its Open Cloud Computing with a dash of sci-fi, teen angst (video)

ASUS shows off its Open Cloud Computing with a dash of scifi, teen angst video

ASUS has been touting Open Cloud Computing as the glue that unites its new devices at Computex, but it hasn't been very specific as to what that meant. Rather than just give us the dry details, though, ASUS has chosen to sum it all up in a slightly surreal video illustrating how its cloud solves the travails of friends and family. Web storage comes up often for sharing files across the Internet -- apparently, by reaching through clouds -- and is joined by Open Help for sorting out frustrated parents, Open Link for helping woe-is-me teenagers finish high school projects on their Padfones, Vibe for sharing media and Waveface for coordinating a thank you event with everyone. Apart from being a bit trippy, the promo has more than a small dose of science fiction: although we've seen some future product concepts from ASUS before, we're pretty sure there's no holographic watches and virtual assistants on the short-term roadmap. If you can reconcile that with practical reality, you'll be ready for the video after the story jump.
