Sound Of Sirens

Anything but sustainable, but definitely a nice piece of interior design for geeks like us me. Allthough i seriously got enough of displays at work, at home and… uhm… in my entire life… and i’m very aware of my their carbon footprint (especially if it’s non-sense like this)… dunno, somehow i like this green-haired little guy:

“Growing plants would be a lot easier if plants could express what it is they need from you. Fret not because that’s what the Pet Plant by Junyi Heo does. The very sleek looking pot measures soil conditions, temperature, humidity, and water - calculates those variables based on the need of said plant, and expresses its condition via a series of pictograms on an LCD display.
It’s also smart enough to know if you’ve over watered and will systematically drain itself into a water vessel. All this high tech goodness does mean it needs power but a simple USB interface does double duty by charging and transmitting pertinent information to and from computer software.”

That last point makes me think about a whole digital-pot battalion across my apartment, all connected with a central cpu. whoaah - it’s like real Sims with plants, isn’t it? ;) *giggle*
