Nowadays, the designers like to try to help the disability person with their creative idea, it make them take a challenge to to create new product/gadget which can support the disability community..I found one interesting gadget for Deaf from the blog; "Yanko Design". I let you all can try to see how about this Shake-Up headphone can used fpr deaf community..
Designer: Pierre-Antoine Bouzard
The gift of hearing is one of those we all take for granted everyday, and designer Pierre-Antoine Bouzard is contributing his part to help the deaf of the world share and “feel” the gift of music. His headphone design called “Shake-Up!” is intended to use vibration to basically pound the crap out of deaf people’s heads. I would imagine that would feel like strapping a vibrator to one’s head.. I think that it is more like cool fashion style for the deaf person can enjoy to wear headphone when they are shopping or etc.. But, a deaf person can feel the vibration when the people walk near him/her? Or it is used for listening the music from anywhere or what? This Shake-Up headphone design don't have many functions..I think that music to deaf people is all about same vibrations only! They need to understand different of sound 'music' if they wear one?
What you think about this product - "Shake UP"? :P

Digital Pot
If only plants could speak, it would be so much easier to take care of them. That's why I found a cute product which is amazing and named "Digital Pot" by the designer, Junyi Heo. The Digital Pot were designed to relay the needs of individual plants through an interactive display of simulated plant ‘facial expressions’, this idea just might make green thumbs out of the most challenged window gardeners. They try to make the plants speak might be a bit challenging, but with such a cute face on this design.. It reminded me about my project 'i-companion' - which made me think of an idea about how a friendly product can make people happy and at same time they can play with it.
But, it really need to use and connect to the USB interface so it can be charged and the pertinent information can be transmitted to and from computer software as well. Just connect to your computer to download information.. So , I think that it is a better way which you can put on the desk computer. It can make you feel and like to play with it, so it will help to reduce your stress when you are working at home..

RYUICHI is the main male character in G-Switch, belongs to "Leaf Soul" race. He is one of the Earth protectors and certainly a trustworthy HERO for the environmental included the greenies. The odd thing about him is that he loves technology and some cute invention and yeah he is addicted to them. He however, never forget his responsibility - has always check whether the inventions has to be suitable to use in this environment or not. To ensure this task to be carried on, he needs Twin Hammer as his weapon and Stamp whether to give "Approval" or "Reject" on the invention.
MIYUKI, a main female character and being a "Leaf Soul", who is Ryuichi's sister with a "princess" attitude. Like Ryuichi, she is one of the Earth protector and mostly a friendly heroine who possesses an esper ability which allows her to see what is happening through the nature or the plantas even only a leaf. This ability also enables her to communicate with the nature. Just a touch on a plant, she can understand its language and emotion. While doing her task, she wields an Oak Staff and she can channel her magic spell through Oak Staff to protect the plants she loves.
AFRO-KUN, who comes from a neighbour countryside, is a very old yet experienced and wise "Wood God" who knows all-of-everything happened in this world and in the past. He acts like a commander to Ryuichi and Miyuki and he gives them some tasks that needed their ability and power to protect the environment and nature from being affected with abnormal and negative statues. Unknownst to Ryuichi and Miyuki, he has a immense power which can change the future of this Earth by leading the Earth to a deadly destruction or a new creation. Luckily what kind of his power is still a mystery.
