Eco Factor: Interactive tree harnesses solar energy for power.
Folks over at Loop.pH have designed a unique interactive solar-powered tree, which was unveiled at the London Design Festival. The structure comes with strands of light-emitting fabric woven into a lucent web of branches.
The structure, dubbed SonUmbra, gets power from a PV-equipped canopy that harnesses solar energy during the day and stores it in onboard batteries to light the tree up after dark. As a visitor moves around the tree, he/she is greeted with an interplay of light and sound that encourages interaction.
