Nike showcases sports recovery chair that heats, cools with style

Chủ Nhật, 8 tháng 5, 2016 - 0 Comments

It's not the fountain of youth, but according to its creator it could give athletes a distinct advantage over opponents.

The Microclimate Chair, created by LA-based architect Greg Lynn, allows athletes in sports such as basketball to get quick heating or cooling therapy by simply sitting in the chair rather than hopping in an ice bath or wrapping themselves in mounds of towels.

Made from a combination of flexible carbon tape and carbon weave, the chair is embedded with roughly 70 Peltier thermoelectric pads that either heat up or cool down based on the level of electrical charge. Framing the outer edge of the chair is a tube that distributes air around the person's body, which is designed to reduce humidity. The combination of the heating, cool and air is thought to be perfect for treating an athlete's muscles during breaks in a game.

According to Dezeen, the chair was created for Nike's "The Nature of Motion" exhibition for Milano Design Week 2016. There are no plans to offer the chair for sale, but for rich athletes with the cash to fund such a throne-like sports recovery device, the idea is out there just waiting for support.

Instagram may be testing a flatter, black and white design

Instagram as you know it could look very different soon.

Some users are seeing a new black and white design after updating their app. The new look, as seen via screenshots sent to Mashable, shows icons that are flatter, thinner and devoid of any color. 

An Instagram spokesperson told Mashable: "We often test new experiences with a small percentage of the global community. This is a design test only."

If legit, the images hint at some noticeable changes, particularly when it comes to the icons. The camera icon in the middle is no longer a square with a circle inside and now resembles an actual camera. Meanwhile, the Activity icon normally represented with a heart inside of a comment box is now simply a heart. And the user profile icon is no longer your profile picture, but an icon of a person. 

It's kind of ugly and boring, in my opinion.

Instagram frequently tests new features in select regions on small groups of users. Until they're official, these features only show a glimpse of what the Instagram team is messing around with behind the scenes. Some tested features are never pushed out for everyone.

Recently, Mashable spotted a new search bar — useful for searching a user's followers and who they're following within Instagram. Shortly after we reported on it, the feature disappeared.
