Long-Distance Pet Pleaser

Crowd funding website Kickstarter recently brought out a Chinesedesigned robot called Anthouse, which enables people to play with their pets left at home. With Anthouse, you can now sit in your offi ce and control your robot back home with an iOS / Android APP. The front-facing camera on the robot allows you to check on your pets, take photos and videos. You can even communicate to your pet using its in-take speaker, or throw a mini tennis ball.

遠(yuǎn)程逗寵

最近，眾籌網(wǎng)站Kickstarter出現(xiàn)了一款來(lái)自中國(guó)的逗寵神器：Anthouse機(jī)器人。其采用類似坦克般的造型，利用iOS / Android應(yīng)用程序，在公司上班的寵物主們可以遠(yuǎn)程控制Anthouse機(jī)器人，與他們的萌寵互動(dòng)。通過(guò)應(yīng)用程序，主人不僅可以通過(guò)機(jī)器人的前置攝像頭實(shí)時(shí)查看寵物的情況，還可以引導(dǎo)機(jī)器人拍攝圖像和視頻，通過(guò)內(nèi)置揚(yáng)聲器與寵物互動(dòng)，還能發(fā)射迷你網(wǎng)球。

Eco-friendly Shoes

Vivobarefoot, a minimalist running shoe company based in London, has announced its partnership with BLOOM, an American plant-based materials manufacturer. The companies have collaborated to create the Ultra III, a shoe made from ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) foam. BLOOM's EVA foam is derived from algae biomasses at high risk of algal bloom. Every pair will help re-circulate 57 gallons of fi ltered water back into natural habitats, and prevent the equivalent of 40 balloons full of CO2being released into the Earth's atmosphere. Harmful and uncontrolled algal blooms can deplete oxygen in the water and block sunlight from reaching fi sh and plants. Left unchecked,this algae could also release toxins that are dangerous to humans and animals or pollute drinking water.

水藻制鞋

以“赤足健康”為理念的英國(guó)品牌Vivobarefoot近日宣布，與環(huán)保材質(zhì)公司Bloom合作開發(fā)新型材料“BloomFoam”，以藻類生物為原料，制成EVA泡沫，減少碳排放。為制成一雙這樣的鞋子需要收集的水藻數(shù)量，就相當(dāng)于要清理220升的水。這些水在清理結(jié)束之后，還會(huì)運(yùn)回湖中。在淡水水源收集水藻，對(duì)于生態(tài)環(huán)境也是有益的。因?yàn)樗翢o(wú)忌憚瘋長(zhǎng)的水藻會(huì)消耗水中的氧氣和陽(yáng)光，釋放對(duì)人類和動(dòng)物有害的毒素，破壞水源和海洋的生態(tài)平衡。

Sleeping under the Stars

SkyScape, an architecturally designed, glass-roofed accommodation building on a 6000-acre high country station near Twizel in the Mackenzie region of New Zealand opened in April.

Made almost entirely of glass, SkyScape is the perfect accommodation for stargazers. It has expansive views over the golden tussocks of the Mackenzie Basin to the Southern Alps,Two Thumbs Range and Mt John.

與星共眠

今年4月，新西蘭麥肯齊區(qū)的特威澤爾附近的一座占地6000英畝的高山農(nóng)場(chǎng)開張了一家外觀獨(dú)特的玻璃旅館——斯凱思卡普山林小屋。小屋的大部分外部材料都是玻璃制造的，適合愛看星星的人。此外，房屋里的人還可以看到麥肯齊盆地的金色草叢、南阿爾卑斯山、拇指山脈和約翰山。

重溫經(jīng)典

坐落于巴黎的塞瓦斯托波爾123酒店將電影藝術(shù)融入每個(gè)細(xì)微之處。酒店的大堂宛如電影院的大廳，休息區(qū)則用以攝影機(jī)為靈感制作的三腳架圓桌，配電影院中常見的紅色靠背椅。每間以不同經(jīng)典電影為主題的客房變成了播放廳，影片中那些被人熟知的橋段成為床頭前的壁畫，就連洗手間的梳洗臺(tái)也是仿造片場(chǎng)中的化妝臺(tái)。住在這里的你已不再是一名簡(jiǎn)單的旅客，而是一部名為《巴黎假日》浪漫電影的主角，演繹著屬于自己的巴黎風(fēng)情。

Back to the Past

Located at 123 Boulevard S?bastopol, Paris, H?tel Le 123 S?bastopol is, according to its website, "dedicated to cinema" . Entering the hotel lobby is like stepping into a cinema: the round tables in the resting area resemble tripods for cameras, accompanied with red audience seats that you often see in a cinema. Every room has been turned into a small theatre, decorated with paintings of classic movie scenes; even the basins resemble those on a fi lm set. You are no longer a traveller when you are here - you are a main character in the Paris Holiday.
