DELL’s Regeneration Green Computing Technology Contestant Paulina Carlos has come up with an innovative biodegradable concept named as Froot. As of now, it is just an idea of a sustainable computer made up of starch based polymer and biodegradable covering. It is an all in one computer with no keyboard, mouse and not even a monitor. Paulina, an industrial designer designed this on projection technology. One would need a wall and a desk to display the projection of screen and keyboard respectively. For the screen display a traditional pico-projector will be used in the rear and a laser projector for the keyboard in the front. It may be available in colors like purple, orange, blue, etc and will run on Windows XP.

Like all devises have their pros and cons this one has it too. Firstly, the projector bulbs has a short life time and dim visibility. Typing onto a desk will not be easy, rather painful. Lastly, the laser light used to mark the keys can be seen only in dim lighting conditions.

It not just saves space but its electronic parts can be recycled too .Hence, this concept if taken care of its weaknesses could be a hit in green technology.
