It’s hard to imagine a better name for the state-of-the-art revolutionary parasol – Sunflower reacts to the sun just like the flower it is named after. Its only drawback: it was only recently introduced at the CES 2017 fair and is not yet available to the public!

What’s the weather forecast? Ask the Sunflower

The luxurious Sunflower represents the first robot-generated shadow on the world; thanks to its sensors, the device can analyze real-time data and follow the sun. At the same time, the solar panels located on its roof collect solar energy which can then be used for other purposes. The energy collected in this way also powers modern technology which make the luxurious sunflower a part of an intelligent home ecosystem.

The Sunflower is electronically connected to the cloud and voice-controlled. In fact, it can even keep track of the weather and provide you the latest weather forecast including information about the amount of UV radiation that’s hitting it. And, to top it all off, it’ll even close itself when there’s too much wind.

Sunflower has an integrated 360° camera to make photos. The battery will last for up to 72 hours without solar energy. Aside from the camera, the gadget is equipped with a light, microphone and speakers. And last but not least, it offers an internet access point to its user.

The luxurious robotic helper designed by ShadeCraft will only become available in the second half of this year, and so you’ll only be able to enjoy it in the summer of 2019.

In January, you could preorder this state-of-the-art gadget for 5220 dollars; in February it will cost 6900 USD, in March 7800 USD and after that its price will be 8700 USD. You won’t get it delivered earlier than in the fall of 2018. And don’t stall for long, since the Sunflower will be a limited-edition product. To preorder, all you need to do is pay an advance payment of 1305 USD – you’ll then get notified 3 months in advance, have the option to choose your color and will need to pay the rest.

Sapporo Snow Festival

What to expect from a snow festival in Japan? Certainly more than just some home-made snowman! In fact, the Sapporo Snow Festival has really a lot more to offer – like most things in Japan.

Sapporo lasts for 7 days in February and takes place in the city of Sapporo – centered around the Odori Park, Susukino and Tsu Dome areas. Each year, it is visited by 2 million visitors from all over the world. This year it will take place from 5 to 12 February and will once again be among the most popular winter events in Japan.

Its historical roots date back to 1950, when six university students built a few snow statues in Odori Park. Over time, more and more people joined in until the snow festival became famous.

Sapporo becomes a magical snow garden

The main part of the festival takes place in Odori Park, which hosts the best snow statues – some of which are 15 meters tall and 25 meters wide! Every day they are lit up and create a luxurious, truly magical atmosphere.

Aside from a dozen large snow statues, the whole area is littered with smaller statues and the whole event is accompanied by concerts and other shows which draw on the atmosphere of the luxurious snow statues.

A luxurious view of Odori Park can be seen from the Sapporo broadcasting tower, located on the western side of the park.

Ice statues and fun in the snow

The Susukino district, located a single metro station from Odori Park, showcases about 100 ice statues every year.

And a bit further away you’ll find the Tsu Dome district, where you can enjoy snow slides, try snow rafting and of course see more snow statues.

All in all, the Japanese certainly know how to enjoy the snow season and art teams from all over the world look forward to the once-per-year opportunity to showcase their skills in practice!
