Designed for National Geographic, this collapsible camping furniture that fits in a suitcase is your perfect outdoor companion!





There are many types of campers and camping regimes. Some travel with friends and family to the remotest wilderness and others like to drive their RV and park at a nice spot with a view. In both cases, at the end of the day, one desires a nice chair to sit on and a decent table to serve up the meal. This is where the portable and convenient Bungalow Luggage for National Geographic comes to the fore.

Whether you’re backpacking, planning on fishing, or just want to spend time at the lake, a foldable and easy-to-carry furniture is definitely going to be on your top priority list. A collapsible furniture range that is relatively luxurious, ultra-lightweight, and packs up into a travel trolley you can tote after you; the Bungalow Luggage by designer Eunsol Lee sets a stage for unique camping experiences.

There is no dearth of foldable camping chairs and tables out there. You could even pick a set of table and chairs off the shelf but this idea of a portable furniture set has its own merits. Unlike the other metal rod collapsible furniture for the outdoor, this one designed for National Geographic is convenient to transport. Just fold up the two chairs and the table into their bags and the trio sits evenly inside a suitcase you can lug along. This ease of portability also comes in handy when you want to fit the furniture in the boot of the car.

Packed in a travel trolley-style sturdy case with four wheels, you get a pair of chairs and a table with a foldable top. The collapsible frame, seat, and backrest form the chair, while the metal spokes aligned as hollow table legs become the base for a wooden plank tabletop. The chairs have a nice canvas seat and the table seems pretty robust; together the furniture outside your camp will become your closest confidant in comfort!

How VR should be!

nat_geo_vr_1

I’ve owned Google Cardboard for about two years now. It’s gathering dust somewhere in my cupboard. The thing with VR is that people thought of just the obvious. 3D content that puts you in a different place. One minute you’re in the arctic, the next minute you’re underwater. Simulation like that does one thing. It makes your eyes see something your body can’t feel, and that looks fantastic, but it also looks unbelievable. The VR Touch Kit for National Geographic takes the approach to VR differently. It makes VR incredibly believable and educational too. The VR Headset comes with three attachments that mimic binoculars, a telescope, and a microscope. Making the aspect of exploration highly believable, the VR headsets pair with these attachments to present VR content that’s relevant to it. You can use the telescope to examine galaxies, for instance… or the microscope to look at micro-organisms. For example you could use your Wii remote to drive a car, but having an attachment that simulates a steering wheel adds a layer of, shall I call it ‘honesty’, to the entire experience.

Anyone can place a screen in front of your eyes and make you view content. The VR Touch kit weaves a much more complex, tactile, and believable experience!

World’s Smallest Magazine Cover

While there’s no shrink ray in existence as of yet, scientists are hard at work at making magazines available for us, just in case we ever get down to the micrometer scale. In fact, a laboratory in Switzerland has managed to print an image so small that you could fit over 2,000 of them onto a single grain of salt. If they were to do this, the title of this article would be called “4,000 pandas on a grain of salt.”

The scientists from IBM Research carved a miniscule 11×14-micrometer image of a recent cover of National Geographic KIDS Magazine onto a polymer. The process they used is akin to 3D printing, but on a smaller scale. They used a heatable silicon tip that was 100,000 times smaller than the tip of a pencil point to chisel the image. While it certainly took years of development to create such a machine, the actual magazine cover was output in less than two minutes.

Be sure to watch the video below to see how the team created this incredibly tiny magazine cover:

It’s definitely interesting to see how small things can get. At least we’ll have stuff to read if we ever get shrunk down to this size.
