Welcome - great idea! diplomod

thank you. howman

Thank you! Nazila

thx ;-) interesting design hartymd3

Thank you.your Ideas are wonderful!I will use your opinions. Nazila

:) thx durica

the visualizations that come with media players just measure the amplitude of the sound, with this it detects the tone and the color depicts the emotions in the person. If someone is upset then the color changes, if the person is relaxed while speaking the color changes. Classic

the color, because color can describe moods and emotions. Using Color thoery. Classic

Thanks! ChrisNatt

Hey, I wanted to tell you personally that I really like your approach to the ideas of lighting. I really appreciate the thought put into each idea and the feedback that you give to other people. Good Job! Classic

Yea, everytime I read a critique by you its always very good and people can take alot from it. I think that is very important. Even your ideas has a nice asthetic aspect but yet the concept behind the idea very strong Classic

Thanks howman, great idea about making them fly/change color - now if you could only make\'em levitate silently, for $4.99/piece, you\'d probably get a Nobel prize :)) giorgio789

Soon! love the new concept by the way. ChrisNatt

Thanks alot. Nazila

thank you very much for your feedback! Pri

Perfect!I think about that. Nazila

Hey thank you! I see you have a good bunch of project here, very interesting. keep up the good work! steste

Thanks for letting me know the bugs - I am working on it! diplomod

@steste - thanks. howman

@diplomod - no problem... the design changes are really good. howman

I have noticed, and it isn\'t a huge problem, that when I do a detailed evaluation, in the sorting section, projects I have not viewed or evaluated are offered for sorting. I don\'t mind it, but it is a disservice to the designer as I can not evaluate a design I have not viewed against one I am viewing, so these designs tend to be ranked low in the sorting. This is something to take into consideration when finalizing the weight of the sorted evaluation in judging. howman

good photo! :) Kris

I started typing a lot, but could be summed up as you have some great ideas of your own and invaluable insight into those of others. riddickuliss

Photos of children! and yours too! Kris

ok..DON\'T PANIC..:) durica

thx for your advice..I can´t manage without ;D durica

nice compliment from you, thx, I like your direction of mind in yours ideas durica

Howman Thanks for the comment. The system does not work with the brake pressure, is independent and its achieved by the activating sensors that according to the distance of a car behind it, the lights get dimmer or brighter. HelferDesign

Thank you that you show me how much somebody need the interaction :) durica

Love your innovative designs! I hope some of them make it onto the market one day Jak

I like your idea. But I wonder if superimposing the therapeutic light on the screen will reduce the available contrast ratio of the display? Maybe the auxiliary light could be around the edge of the screen instead of overlaying it. howard

Yes... you have lots of good ideas. Did you even one of these ideas into reality?

@skilleder - None of these have been put into prototype as of yet. The point of these ideas is for the community to help develop them and to push the boundaries of what is possible with todays and tomorrows technology. Some of my ideas are far future and others are more possible with todays technology. If you notice, just about every idea I present is not a product solution but an underlying technology which can be used in many products. My goal is not to develop something that can be sold quick and easy but rather to inspire and provide a tool set for others to develop products from. I have said it before somewhere here, but I have no real desire to create the music player but rather the music file, to use a parallel. I also address the emotional aspect of each idea in a situation in order to illustrate one possible affective application. howman

Hallo Howman, Thank you for your comment. But I don«t understand \"We have 8 Ladies and Gentleman...\".
Does it mean eight ideas about fabric?
Please help me

Hi howman. Here is my suggestion of how the goggle would detect the mood. Reading a few articles I came to know that our eye color changes with our mood. So placing a color sensor in the goggle would detect the color of the eye that indirectly reflects our mood. Now according to the color detected the goggle would change the color correspondingly as stated before. Thx for your suggestion, ya for application in certain situations where we want the reverse thing to happen we would change the goggle to more aggressive color, in way to heighten the sense of person wearing it, put them on edge and make them more aggressive. Here instead of relaxing mode we would rather have violent mode. Hope u get Me.! pavithrabvs

Appreciate your scientific approach here, there and everywhere! Pretty cool site you have here. I like your text comments. You have my vote, for sure. http://scottfisher.multiply.com/photos Scott Alias Steven Hawkens Knoxville, Tennessee http://player.cumulusstreaming.com/SLPLayer.aspx?KFOG-FM scottfisher

@howman:ha ha.. you probably cannot swap out the lights as you may have to return your bands back to your teachers and you are not allowed to take it back. ya i agree with you, the teacher can also be made to wear a one as we can find how well the teacher has understood the concept....i dont understand /*Fitting that the OP used images of South Park\\\'s classroom...*/ pavithrabvs

Thanks for your feed back had undertaken initial research and hadn\'t found anything similar. Still think that the idea could be further developed.appreciate your comments though. lindaexmoor

LOL - no i have no day/night off...;) u probably familiar with the inflamed imagination disease:) or u asking this because of the beauty saloon treatment with LEDhead involved? ;) anyHOW - wanted to tell u THANKS for all your comments and support. Eva

ah, just couple of days more and then we probably get some LED rest.. Eva

hoLEDay... Eva

Thanks LED Head. I look forward to the next part too. howman

Great lightnings - but one question - which computer-software do you use to produce the images?

Idea Details

Fluorescent End Cap

Description

Have you ever noticed how fluorescent tubes in overhead lights always make you feel bad? I think some of this has to do with the look at the ends of the light fixtures where the bulb doesn\\\'t light up... All fluorescent lights have this problem... There is a space between lights that are run end to end where there is a dullness that makes you feel like you are in a seedy bathroom with a flickering as it comes to life...

Well no more... This little LED end cap slots onto any standard fluorescent tube and is powered by the same transformer as the fluorescent... It provides light where no light was before... You also can add a little remote to change the colour of the LED\\\'s so you can add mood light... This little device will also react to a special three position switch that tells it to be on when the fluorescent is off... No more wasting tonnes of energy leaving lights on.

Best of all, you don\\\'t have to change to a different light type altogether, you just supplement the ones you have.

Update - made a change in the text to clarify that it is fluorescent I was referring to.

share this design on facebook

This idea is about...

Cool Howman, I really like this idea and see a good benefit of it. imagine that lot of elder citizen that stay alone now. too bad for them to change the tube in the dark. Little suggestion here is that, maybe you can locate the LED on the other way round, insist of on the tube cap, why don\'t just make it on the lighting body, main part we slot in the tube. How do you think? ERIC.T

Good idea! Could you make the light from the LED looking exactly the same as the neon light? I just wonder, otherwise you change the not illuminated spots in differently illuminated spots which may also look irritating, maybe even more. diplomod

@Eric.t - I aimed at making this something that would fit onto the tube, not the fixture as it is the tube that goes dark at the ends... There are fixtures that already have light sat the ends to combat this problem between fixtures. howman

@diplomod - I would think that the colour match could be made fairly simply with use of power output, and lens colour. Granted in the production version, I doubt very much it would be dark grey with little bulbs sticking out the sides... I should think it would be clear plastic of some kind with a lens that allows for three or so LED\'s in the correct location to produce a full surround of light. howman

i like it onecent

Thank you onecent. howman
