WIRED 2011 through the eyes of our buddy Sid

As I write this, our dear colleague Sid is having the time of his life at the WIRED 2011 Conference in London. It’s a two-day conference that celebrates ideas, innovations and the people reshaping our world. Therefore it’s no surprise that Materialise would feel quite at home at such an event. As excited as Sid was, he decided to give us a quick glimpse into what WIRED 2011 has to offer.

A little message from our colleague Sid:

“I just moved a ball hovering in mid-air … With my MIND! Now how cool is that? It is a technology based on using brainwaves to enhance the interactions with our environment. The thing is… this is just one out the many mind-blowing topics that I”m exposed to here at Wired 2011. From nanotechnology to talking robots to Scandinavian skiing slopes on top of a waste factory … As crazy as you can imagine it, here you meet people that actually do these things.”

“And 3D printing…? People here love it. The Materialise Bloom lamp (designed by Patrick Jouin for MGX by Materialise) was received with great enthusiasm during the test lab – a space at Wired where people could play around with new technologies.”
