Breezy (rap for breeze) Posted by Picasa
Breeze Maple
Welcome to the world of cyborg trees.

"Breeze can visually sense and react through 360 degrees, allowing her to reach out to you and others whenever you are near. This is not a dancing bush, the motion is subtle and artistic, and at the same time, surreal."

This is done with nitinol wires that bend when exposed to a current. This is going to have some interesting tech apllications in the future. Think: guard trees, temp sensors, online activity, plant droops when B is on a pron site, etc.

Is the thing fake or are the mechanical elements linked to a live tree? Pron makes things rise not droop.
