This week on Dezeen, university graduates created problem-solving designs including an anti-manspreading chair that forces sitters to close their legs, and a masturbation suit for people with disabilities.
Brighton University graduate Laila Laurel designed a chair that prevents people from "manspreading", as a tongue-in-cheek response to day-to-day sexist issues experienced by women.
One chair is designed for women and encourages them to take up more space by sitting with their legs apart, and the other is for men, which forces them to sit with their legs together.
Ripple masturbation suit offers sex aid to people with disabilities
Chinese graduate designers Hsin-Jou Huang, Szu-Ying Lai and Chia-Ning Hsu developed a three-part masturbation kit for people with disabilities. The sex-aid suit, called Ripple, includes a cushioned, inflatable body suit, a remote with a receiver, and an eye mask with earphones, which also releases pheromones.
Elon Musk's Neuralink implant will "merge" humans with AI
From wearable technology to tech applied to the brain, Elon Musk revealed designs for an implant from his new start-up Neuralink that will connect human brains with computer interfaces using AI.
Tiny electrode "threads" attached to a micro-chip would be implanted into the brain by a neurosurgical robot, where they would detect electrical signals in the brain and wirelessly transmit this information outside the body.
Musk aims to use Neuralink to underst...
