Science and design on show
Gadgets that can home in on birdsong in the inner city, cameras that capture parallel universes and bags of coffee which change colour as they gather air miles were unveiled today as part of a new science and design show.
The ideas were put forward amongst 16 projects mounted in the Impact! exhibition bringing together Royal College of Art graduate designers working with scientists and other UK academics.
The exhibition is the first of its kind between the funding agency for science and engineering, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts, (Nesta) and the RCA.
Professor Anthony Dunne, head of design interactions at the RCA, said the show was a collaboration between "very creative people".
