Winery Marof – JosephFuisz

Much as the region of Prekmurje in the far northeast of Slovenia is something of a crossroads or melting pot of cultures and histories, so to is the story behind the Marof winery.

Winery Marof has successfully founded new bases of the creation of wines in the Prekmurje region. Severally awarded excellence of domestic and of foreign enological professionals is proving that we are on the right way and that wines from the Prekmurje region may easily compete with the best Slovenian and world renowned wines.

Wine-growing region of PrimorskaThere are twenty wine routes in Slovenia – some fully fledged, others still trying to find the key to success. The names of most of them reveal which wine-growing district they are situated in, or designate the wine-growing regions where the numerous tastes of fine Slovenian wines can be discovered. The common features of all wine routes are genuine wines, along with local culinary specialties and their cultural and historical backgrounds. The wine routes are true pilgrimage destinations of this picturesque land.

BendDesk is a Workstation and Multitouch Computer in One

BendDesk is a multi-touch desk environment that seamlessly combines a vertical and a horizontal surface with a curve into one large interactive workspace.

The system uses a combination of two projectors shining on the surface from underneath and behind. A series of LEDs around the edges of the display bathe it in infrared light. Three cameras with IR filters peer at the underside of the acrylic surface and detect touches by distinguishing variances in the IR pattern through a process called Frustrated Total Internal.

BendDesk is a multi-touch desk environment that seamlessly combines a vertical and a horizontal surface with a curve into one large interactive workspace. This workspace can be used to display any digital content like documents, photos, or videos. Multi-touch technology allows the user to interact with the entire surface using direct manipulation and multi-touch gestures. We took special care for ergonomics.

A Ring That Gives You Time On Your Hands

Ring Clocks are made of 316L surgical stainless steel stacked with three encircling bands for displaying the hour, minutes, and seconds

Whether you’re averse to wearing things on your wrist, or you’re just looking for an interesting way to start a conversation at parties, the Ring Clock is the timepiece for you. 

The Ring Clock sits on your finger in an inert state until you spin the outside ring, at which point the time is revealed by the correct numbers lighting up with LEDs. This keeps battery use to a minimum, which, as the battery only lasts two hours before needing to be recharged via its Qi wireless power charger pad, is a good thing.

Specification of prototype

• Ring body material: 316L surgical stainless steel (allergy free)
• Light source: 144 energy safe ultrathin mono-color LED
• Light color: blue or orange LED (optional)
• Lighting time: 1 minute time display after the ring rotation
• Battery specs: 6mAh, ultrathin rechargeable lithium polymer battery
• Running time: 1 week with normal use (15 times activation per days) or 2 hours constant use.
