A/C + OLED = Twilight Air Purifier

Cool down while watching those cat videos (and no, this has nothing to do with the Cullens)

Looks like Whirlpool's also in into the concept home appliance game (do a search for Electrolux and you'll see what we mean). Recently they gave something called the Inova Award to the designers of the Twilight Air Purifier.

Twilight is simply a dual-purpose gadget designed to cool the room down while create a more bearable environment for the occupants. Developed by a group of Industrial Design students based in Brazil, this baby blows air through an array of small polymer tubes suspended from the main unit. Embedded over this is an OLED "sheet" that can show the visual goods.

The point? The Designers see Twilight as way for people to experience the climate and "culture" of faraway places. Before air leaves the tubes, various temperatures and even fragrances can be applied, while the OLED screen flashes images and videos matching the desired environment. These environment profiles can of course be downloaded from the Internet.

Honestly though, if Twilight does hit the market, it will probably find success as an AC/heater +  display combo. Users will most likely spend all day cooling down/staying warm while watching the latest schadenfreude online videos. Wanting to experience the beach in your Fortress of Solitude makes sense, but not everyone would love seeing and smelling a fish market in tropical weather.
