THOMAS BEGLEY
MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN BSc
I really enjoy designing devices to meet the personal demands we meet in today's digital world. Physical concepts in my own time have now met with my university work. Developing skills in 3DSMax, AutoCAD and the Adobe/Macromedia suites has enabled me to achieve my latest solution.
Framed IT - Beautiful to look at, effortless to use and simple by design. Contemporary design meets computer electronics to deliver practical information on your walls.
Framed IT
FramedIT is the culmination of a research project looking at integrating computer based electronics, beyond the current 'Media Center' scope in the home environment. The intention is to bring truly useful computing power into the convenience of your living space.
Wall mounted, its unobtrusive appearance as an ordinary picture frame hides its feature rich functionality as a gateway to the digital world. A crisp 13" deep colour, high resolution display and powerful laptop architecture are housed in a standard 40x30cm frame and operated by a simple remote control. An environmentally friendly solution, where 60% of components and materials are either reused or are from a recycled source.
Offering all the benefits of a digital picture frame and more. Subscription free in-depth real-time news, weather and TV listings; alongside instantaneous access to your photos, without the complications of using a traditional computer. Utilising the ever more commonly available wireless internet connection, FramedIT's possibilities are potentially endless.
