Compress images, they shouldn't be more than 200k


Topic: Bio-Electronic Computer

Background: Future. From the transistor and its miniaturisation, the computer was born. The next leap in its evolution lies with organic technology; harnessing the computational power found in organisms. It's true strength lies with a combination of bio engineering and electronics.


Brief:

1. Design a computer that uses biological and electronic components.

2. It should be appealing to the target market (computer users).


Deadline: Thursday 8th March

Thanks added the imporant word 'interface' from that article to my brainstorming step. So are nuerons found in genes? I need to research that myself I guess.

Hm first post right here =)

OK this one is a bio-electronical multifunctional controlpanel - computer ^^
A plant ( found on an different planet ) is able to convert electronic impulses by some special genes 0.o . The mankind upgradet it to fit leave parts to the human hand . On this way more and more complex information can be transported quicker than ever before . This controlpanel is multifuntional . It could be used to control machines , weapons or simply to surf on the internet ^^ . Those two party nearby the monitor are neural stimulation systems for better communication or something like this , I didn't think about that too much ^^ . So here it is :

Oh yeah I know its pretty ugly ^^
It's a crappy design and I lost the interest for this one ...

i like it. i can seem some feng zhou influence in there.

I'm going to leave this open till at least saturday, that way I don't have to worry about coming up with a new topic in the middle of the week - and you guys get more time!

[mackerman]

i have finals this week but after that, i'll be all about the design comps again. well, during spring break at least:donk:

Sorry I haven't posted a new topic (or closed the old ones). I'll try to get a new topic for tomorrow - something easy.
