  1. Hi, nice idea! I just thought, that the touchpad could also display the room dimensions properly (like where are the stairs, doors and windows, is the room really a square etc.) and be mounted not straight vertically, but tilted. This would make it easier for users to map the displayed concept of the room to the real room.

  2. cool idea..i love your site..very creative

  3. Nice blog! I read it every day. I have a blog on Blogger and I put Petitinvention in my blogroll… I made a post about your blog too! http://mv1996.blogspot.com/2008/11/petitinvention-un-blog-cratif.html

  6. Does the above touch switch exist? If so I’d like information on how to purchase and or have them custom made.

    Thank you

    [...] در این طرح دیگر هیچ کلید شستی در کار نیست. تنها به کمک یک لایه لمسی که به زیبایی بر روی دیوار نصب می شود می توانیم وضعیت روشن و خاموش بودن چراغ ها را کنترل کنیم. تنها کافیست انگشت خود را روی صفحه لمسی به طرف لامپ مورد نظر حرکت دهید. این صفحه هوشمند از روی جهت حرکت انگشت لامپ را تشخصیص می دهد و آن را خاموش می کند. برای روشن کردن هم باید همین کار را این بار در جهت عکس انجام دهید. برای روشن و خاموش کردن گروهی لامپ ها هم می توان از حرکات چرخشی استفاده کرد. در این طرح هم از نصب کلید های متعدد بر روی دیوار صرفه جویی می شود و هم تنوعی در معماری منازلمان ایجاد می شود.از آنجا که این نوع کلید لمسی هنوز در حد یک طرح است از زمان تولید انبوه آن خبری در دسترس نبود تا برایتان بگویم اما می توانید برای دیدن تصاویر بیشتر از طرح کلی این ایده به بخش ادامه مطلب بروید. منبع [...]
