In Figure 5 the wearer is shopping for milk, but this could also have been a more significant purchase like a new car or a house. The wearer's wife, at a remote location, is looking through the camera by way of a projection screen in her living room in another country. She points a laser pointer at the screen, and a vision system in the projector tracks that and remotely operates the aremac in the wearer's necklace. Thus he sees whatever she draws or scribbles on her screen. This scribbling or drawing directly annotates the “reality” that he's experiencing. In another application, the wearer can use hand gestures to control the wearable computer. The author referred to this system as “Synthetic Synesthesia of the Sixth Sense”, and it is often called “SixthSense” for short.

The association that hunts down party waste

Aremacs was created in 2004 to try to find a solution to the litter generated by cultural or sporting events. It managed 450 tons in 2022.

Hunting down the waste generated by festivals and sporting events: this is the objective of Aremacs[1], an association “created by friends who wanted to act together to live in a world that respects its environment”, explain the founders.

Of its full name: association for the respect of the environment during cultural and sporting events, it has 30 employees, 900 volunteers present in five French cities (Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes and Lyon) and is part of the great family of the social and solidarity economy[2] by respecting its principles of associative democracy. Aremacs was created in 2004 by Arthur Gagneux, a computer developer, and Julien Perrier, passionate about music, cultural action and extreme sports.

“Cultural and sporting events unfortunately produce all kinds of litter with a strong negative impact on the environment, explains Valentin Lacombe, one of the permanent members. It can be beer cans, a half-eaten sandwich, plastic cutlery, a paper plate, glass, a packet of fries”.[3] In front of this observation, it was urgent to act by finding solutions allowing the organisers of festivals or concerts to reduce and recover this innumerable debris. “We went to meet the actors in the field, to plant stakes in the ground and staple bags, we installed signage, did some awareness efforts… This had two consequences. Prove to the organisers that we could manage waste, and involve the public by raising awareness of the environment”.

“Before, everything went to the dumpster”

The approach has been developed in five territories, from Nouvelle Aquitaine[4] to Pays de la Loire[5], via Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes[6] and the Paca region[7] and Ile-de-France[8]. In 2022, Aremacs took part in 150 events where some 450 tonnes of waste were recovered. Ultimately, with partnerships forged with the wood, cardboard and aluminum industries. “We bring this waste to a sorting centre to recycle it, whereas before everything went to the dumpster in total indifference”.

“There has been a real awareness since five or six years. People understand that a cleaner event is better for the planet, confirms Marc Brégégère, head of the Pays de la Loire branch. People stalk us when they see us with our heads in the trash cans to find out where all this waste is going to end up. It is then necessary to deconstruct the preconceived ideas. Fortunately, there is more and more transparency and communication in the sorting sectors”.

“A minimum of subsidies”

“Finally, people end up integrating these instructions and applying them. And maybe tomorrow they will take the bike rather than the car,” continues Valentin Lacombe. "Well, I'm not hiding from you that on some concerts, it's not progressing quickly, there's still work to do," laughs Marc Brégégère.

The Covid years have had a negative impact on the activities of the association, which nevertheless hopes to maintain and develop its action by retaining its staff. For its budget, Aremacs works with the event industry and local authorities (Grand Lyon, city of Lyon, Villeurbanne, for example for the Rhône-Alpes structure) "but with a minimum of subsidies to avoid political uncertainties", details Paul Berthet , co-director of the structure at the national headquarters. Who does not forget the purpose of his mission: "Events are not just concerts and shows, they are above all social ties, a meeting place where we can talk about sorting but also popular education, civic transition, consumption patterns and values”.

[4] Nouvelle-Aquitaine is the largest administrative region in France, spanning the west and southwest of the mainland. The region was created by the territorial reform of French regions in 2014 through the merger of three regions: Aquitaine, Limousin and Poitou-Charentes. It covers 84,036 km2 – or 1⁄8 of the country – and has 5,956,978 inhabitants (municipal population on 1 January 2017).

[5] Pays de la Loire is one of the 18 regions of France, in the west of the mainland. It was created in the 1950s to serve as a zone of influence for its capital, Nantes, one of a handful of "balancing metropolises" (métropoles d'équilibre)

[6] Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is a region in southeast-central France created by the 2014 territorial reform of French regions; it resulted from the merger of Auvergne and Rhône-Alpes.

[7] Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), also known as Région Sud (Southern Region), is one of the eighteen administrative regions of France, the far south-eastern on the mainland. Its prefecture and largest city is Marseille.

[8] The Île-de-France is the most populous of the eighteen regions of France, with an official estimated population of 12,271,794 residents on 1 January 2023. Centred on the capital Paris, it is located in the north-central part of the country and often called the Paris Region. Île-de-France is densely populated and retains a prime economic position on the national stage: though it covers only 12,012 square kilometres (4,638 square miles), about 2% of metropolitan French territory, its 2017 population was nearly one-fifth of the national total

4 Pool Features You’ll Want for Summer 2018

Make summer 2018 your best one yet with these pool features. Image: Darren James Interiors

Whether your part of the world is cannonballing into summer or gingerly dipping its toe into warmer weather, there’s no denying that things are heating up. If you’re a pool owner, you’ve likely been waiting all year for the opportunity to lounge poolside. And if you really want to make the most of the coming season, there are a few pool features you might want to consider.

Pools have long been a backyard staple in warmer climates, but they’ve come a long way since gaining popularity after World War II. Your backyard oasis can be so much more than a big hole in the ground. If you’re ready to take your summer up a notch, check out these must-have pool features.

A nearby heat source

There’s nothing quite like relaxing in your pool as the warm summer day slips into a balmy evening. The only problem? When it comes time to hop out of the pool, the chill evening air isn’t ideal. Why not ease that transition? Installing a fire pit near your pool’s edge essentially guarantees that your pool will get more use after the sun sets. You can set up seating nearby; it’s a great setting for slow evenings enjoyed with friends and family.

A Baja shelf

Why is the Baja shelf one of 2018’s most popular pool features? It’s simple. This elevated portion of your pool gives you the opportunity to enjoy the water without the need to get your hair wet. A Baja shelf – also known as a sun shelf or a tanning shelf – is ideal when you want to relax in the water but still enjoy the sun’s warmth. (And it saves you the hassle of trying to get on a pool float without toppling over.)

Integrated landscaping

If you want to make your pool feel lush and tropical, throw away the preconceived notion that it has to be surrounded by stone or concrete. Bring your landscaping right up to your pool’s edge to blend the water with your yard’s growth. Marrying your landscaping and your pool design makes your pool feel like an integrated oasis.

A water feature

We know, we know. There’s nothing particularly novel about adding more water to your existing water. But the power of a water feature shouldn’t be overlooked. There are a few things to consider when adding flowing water to your pool’s edge. First, it can help solidify your ambiance. Do you want your yard to feel modern and chic? A refined water spout like the one pictured lends itself to your look. Are you seeking a more organic feel? Water cascading down rocks into your pool will make your yard seem like an extension of nature.

A water feature also gives you control over your yard’s noise levels. If you have a highway nearby, the sound of the water can provide much-needed white noise. There’s nothing like enjoying a day by the pool with the soothing sound of water as a soundtrack.
