A novelty for all those who have a... green LED thumb.
Lily was designed as part of the LG Display OLED Go competition, which aims to find virtual and real applications in next-generation displays.
In this case, it is a decorative object developed with transparent OLED technology.
Flowers in 4k of a beauty never seen before. Also because they are virtual.
This concept design was inspired by the clear view of permeable screen technology. Lily is a customizable vase, to be placed in areas not exposed to sunlight or in a place not suitable for growing some plants. It essentially displays virtual flowers to add some color to your workstation.
Sinan Anayurt, the designer who created the device, explains that Lily does not need specific requirements. She is aimed at all users who wish to add virtual plants as decoration, without having to worry about caring for plants "in soil and leaves".
You can customize the color, and you can view your favorite plants via the app. Forget about perfume, which you can at most add yourself with an air freshener (virtual perfumes don't exist yet. virtual tastes… Almost).
The type of device and the very low consumption of the always active display allow you to see these beautiful flowers even at night.
Virtual flowers: did we need them?
I find it very hard not to say “but wasn't a succulent plant better? It requires little maintenance, is real and contributes to the environment!” but I also understand the experimental nature of this object.
Of course, thinking about a future full of vases containing only virtual flowers makes me a little depressed.
