OO High Def Wireless Projector by David Riesenberg
The OO is a wireless projector by David Riesenberg capable of displaying high definition (1080p) data. Utilizing either a WIFI connection or internal SSD storage, the projector can operate independently from any wire for up to 3 hours based on an internal Li-Ion battery or using a single wire connected to a power source. With the combination of WIFI and internal storage, the OO can act as both an extender/duplicator of an external display or as a wireless media projector/streamer with built in decoding capabilities. The three independently articulated legs allow the OO to be tilted for optimal positioning. Full interaction with the projector is done via the touch screen remote but the projector can be operated without it in extender/duplicator mode after pre-configuration.
Fuego Modular Outdoor Kitchen
I’m so excited for the weather to start getting warmer here on the East Coast. I’ve already been spending more time outdoors, and I’m crossing my fingers that “Snowmageddon” of 2010 is over. Wouldn’t it be grand to have a barbecue with this fantastic outdoor kitchen from Fuego? The description makes me laugh: “Individual stainless steel and teak modules—for grilling, warming, stashing, chilling and washing can be configured any way you want. Being the envy of your friends comes separately.”

Designer Desktops: March 2010
We all work very hard, many of us spending countless hours staring at our computer screens. So I thought, why not have something pretty and inspirational to stare at? This is a new project we’re going to try out here on Design Milk — Designer Desktops. Starting this month, Design Milk will create a beautiful desktop wallpaper for you to download to your computer and iPhone, inspired by a thought-provoking quote from a renown designer. This is all in good fun, and best of all, they’re free!
This first month, we’re kicking things off with none other than Mr. Charles Eames.

Gesture Cube
Just wave your hand over Gesture Cube to access music, web, your family and friends. You don’t even need to touch the surface. Gesture Cube uses 3D spatial movement tracking to detect your hand’s approach and movements — like magic!
Using natural gestures to control our electronics helps to draw them closer to human behavior, making things easier and more fun. The result is an intuitive product concept with unlimited possibilities. LUNAR Europe designed Gesture Cube as a three-dimensional object without a clear front to allow a wider range of gestures for its interface, to show different levels of an application or to conveniently multitask between various applications. The Gesture Cube’s design is simple and minimal, blending nicely into your living space.
