This product is the world first (!?) “blogging houseplant”, produced by KAYAC Co., Ltd. and Satoshi Kuribayashi at the Keio University Hiroya Tanaka Laboratory who developed “the plant interface system”, which is the foundation of this product.
The system, to post Midori-san’s thoughts online, uses surface potential sensors to read the weak bioelectric current flowing across the surface of the leaves.
At DONBURI CAFE DINING bowls, you can see the blogging houseplant Midori-san. If you touch her gently, she’ll tell you the chemistry between you.
Even at home, you can see the activity of Midori-san and activating a web-controlled fluorescent lamp, treat a dose of light either through the website or the widget.
Once you check the chemistry between Midori-san, you can take photo with her, download the data to your mobile phone and post to her blog.
- The fluorescent light given to Midori-san is the best one for photosynthesis.
- A specially developed algorithm translates Midori-san’s words into Japanese sentences.
- Midori-san loves plant-themed pun (in Japanese).
- Blog is updated once a day.
- Put the widget on your blog. Through the widget, activating a web-controlled fluorescent lamp, you can give light to Midori-san to photosynthesize. As you give her light, Midori-san will say thank you on her blog.
Midori-san of the Day uses various systems. “If houseplants could speak human word, would eco become much closer?” “Isn’t it possible to network natural environment around us?” Please enjoy Midori-san of the Day developed based on such ideas!
