VIRB Ultra 30
GPS giant Garmin takes a big swing again at the
action-camera market with its VIRB Ultra 30, announced this week. Like GoPro’s
Hero series, the VIRB adds stats tracking, and live streaming. ($500).
The Spun Chair: A Sculpture That Rotates You
Is it an oversized toy? Is it a sculpture? Is it a piece of
furniture? All perhaps.
The chair gives you a unique sensation — the sensation that you will fall off at any second — but you never do. You just spin around as if you were perched on a giant spinning top (which you are).
The chair was created by Thomas Heatherwick— he collaborated with the Italian furniture firm Magis to produce this chair. To construct it, plastic pellets are heated and “rotationally molded”.
