Uplifting your boring presentations with a twist!

The HP Elite Presenter Mouse cleverly gives you best of both worlds. A simple black bar with a matte handle and a microtextured control panel on top, the Elite Presenter Mouse twists a full 180° at a slight angle to turn from remote-controlled laser presenter to fully functioning mouse. With presenter controls on one side and mouse keys on the other side, the Elite Presenter mouse ingeniously plays both roles, allowing you to switch between tools of choice in a split second.

The Elite pairs via Bluetooth with a PC, working within an impressive range of 30 feet from the connected device. With forward and backward controls, you can navigate through your presentation, selecting/clicking on objects and links using the central button. It even includes a virtual laser pointer button that allows you to highlight or point a laser point at something on the screen without a laser beam. The remote has spatial awareness and motion tracking, and displays a dot on your screen, allowing you to control its position.

Above the controls on the presenter interface is a tiny window that houses a sensor for the mouse. Flip the mouse over and twist the handle, and the Elite shifts into Mouse mode, letting you use its naturally angled body for a proper grip, as you rely on the right and left clicks to operate your computer naturally. Fold it back, switch it off, and the HP Elite Presenter Mouse slides easily into its leather sleeve and into your laptop bag, occupying hardly any space!

The HP Elite Presenter Mouse is a winner of the Red Dot Product Design Award for the year 2018.

One day you may be able to 3D print your own Nike shoes

Athlete Eliud Kipchoge won the 2018 London Marathon wearing a pair of Nike VaporFly Elite trainers with the world’s first 3D-printed upper. This is the world’s first trainer that’s upper half is crafted through 3D printing (much like a conceptual design we covered before). Using a 3D printer and a thermoplastic polyurethane filament, Nike can produce shoes crafted to an athlete’s foot measurement and performance data.

How is this different from Nike’s Flyknit, you ask? They’re miles apart. While Flyknit can knit together a fabric of a certain shape and size, printing out shoe parts means you can achieve something that’s more three dimensional than a 2D fabric weave. Another advantage is that while in Flyknits, the interwoven threads of fabric rub across each other when flexed, causing frictional resistance between the interlaced (warp and weft) yarns, this doesn’t happen with 3D printed textiles, where material is melted, extruded, and made to fuse together to create a single part. This technique of 3D printing shoe uppers also allows you to experiment with different kinds of weaves with incredible precision and control, making certain sections of the shoe firm, while others flexible or even breathable. This 3D printed TPU textile also works seamlessly with many other materials, most notably Flyknit yarns, to provide an optimal balance of fit and structure. In fact, Flyknit yarns can be engineered to thermally bond with the Flyprint textile, eliminating any need for glue or stitching.

Developed for last year’s Berlin Marathon, and perfected over time for this year’s London Marathon (resulting in a victory), we just may see more completely 3D printed footwear in the future… and who knows, we may be able to print our own too, instead of having them delivered to our homes!
