Change the color of your walls with a push of a button!
Nano Supermarket – Jury Report
Honourable Mention #2: WallSmart / Jonas Enqvist (SE) — Next Nature
“Change the color of your walls with a push of a button!” Paint your wall with the “WallSmart paint”, connect with the wall through your WIFI, choose a color from the “WallSmart App”, or browse other user’s color schemes”.
"WallSmart is an intelligent, playful and engaging proposal, that, according to nano-scientists in the jury, is technologically feasible. Gone are the doubts and endless discussions with your partner about deciding what color the walls in the house should have. In that respect WallSmart definitively has a unique selling point. The designer also points out that other functions can be added to the product, such as using it for visualizing someone’s state of health, simply by touching the WallSmart-covered surface."
"WallSmart deserves an honourable mention due to its technical feasibility, its directness in the application of innovative (nano-) technology, its playfulness, and at last but not at least the way the designer visually anticipates the product’s commercial presentation in the NANO Supermarket."

TESTING THE PROTOTYPE
Disclaimer
This project is a comment on the dangers in regard to Nano technology. This product, Wallsmart Nano Paint, is an ecological friendly paint, non toxic for the planet. That is at least my personal aim and goal, everything else is just not acceptable.
