Sony gets students to go green and innovative
Sony has for years been creating useful, convenient and exquisite technological designs for mankind. So it took a small break from all the creating and allowed a few ID students from China to let their minds go crazy and create a few green ideas. The outcome was as follows. A Sony Bathman Shower music player created by the Peng Shi-Nan Dong Hwa University students who made a music system that mimics the flow of water from a showerhead which means an invigorating flow of water results in some hard rock music coming your way while a gentle shower plays some soft mellow music. Second is a Sony Conductor TV Remote by the Donghua University students. It is a wand-shaped remote that requires you to sway it from side to side to power it, change channels and play with the volume. It also feature a green LED light to indicate power levels.
Third is the Sony Green Walk Travel Companion designed by Tongji University students who harnessed kinetic energy generated by walking to power this Bluetooth enabled GPS gadget. The gadget can be synced with your comp to download travel trails off the net and upload your walkathon details. In case you are about to venture off the chosen trek or are lost, a vibrating sensor comes into play and guides you step-by-step by vibrating either to the left or right to indicate the correct direction. Fourth is the Sony Solar Speaker or TransferJet. It is a Close Proximity Wireless Transfer Technology enabling the high speed transfer of large data files between electronic devices such as mobile phones, digital cameras, digital video cameras, computers and TVs. So once you place your MP3 player or phone on top of this dish-shaped Solar Speaker, it pulls all songs and files wirelessly to play them, plus charges the device. It is designed by folks at Southern Yangtze University. Last but not the least is the Sony Bamboo Frame Music System. At the end of its life, this system’s components can be recycled and was designed by students at the Zhejiang University.
