PHILIPS, the simplicity event.
Philips has presented in London the simplicity event, a show where interoperable by humans technologies have been presented to the public. Many of the finished designs did start from concept and are now manufactured and sold to the public. Altough it is not properly phisycal computing I think that is interesting to mention some of the project presented at the show.

Sunshine – a wall-mounted ‘artificial sun’ uses natural light rhythms to give an energy boost and help control your body clock.

Light – a new, medically proven wake-up lamp, which emits light that gradually increases to the intensity you have selected, simulating the rising sun in your bedroom thus gently preparing your body to wake up. The light falls on your eyes and sends your brain a message to reduce the production of melatonin, the sleep-inducing hormone. Over 30 minutes, the natural light gradually increases to reach the optimal intensity to wake you up at the set time, in a pleasant manner that leaves you feeling energized and ready to wake up. The light intensity can also be adjusted to your own personal preference.
