When global warming (or cooling) wipes out all plant life, we will have to rely on [interactive light installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimedia-art-installation) like 'Jing Hua' to get our botanical fix. 'Jing Hua' from Jifei Ou works by projecting an image of a flower from a [birdhouse projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/indoor-gardening-1). The image is captured on a white bowl below. The flower on the bowl can be changed simply by twisting or shaking the bowl, allowing users to create a customizable and beautiful [electronic flower](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flowers-and-butterflies-are-dancing). Watch the video above to see Jifei Ou's installation in action. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.2/10 - Popularity: 8% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Interactive Light Installations:** Creating customizable and beautiful electronic flowers through interactive light installations like 'Jing Hua' presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and design industry. - **Projection Technology:** 'Jing Hua' showcases the potential for projection technology in creating captivating visual experiences, opening up disruptive innovation opportunities in the technology and entertainment industries. - **Virtual Gardens:** The concept of virtual gardens, demonstrated by 'Jing Hua', provides disruptive innovation opportunities in the environmental and horticulture industries for creating sustainable and immersive experiences. ### Where This Applies - **Art and Design:** The use of interactive light installations and customizable electronic flowers, as demonstrated by 'Jing Hua', presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the art and design industry. - **Technology:** The application of projection technology, showcased by 'Jing Hua', presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the technology industry for creating immersive visual experiences and interactive environments. - **Entertainment:** The use of projection technology and interactive light installations, exemplified by 'Jing Hua', presents disruptive innovation opportunities in the entertainment industry for enhancing visual displays and creating engaging experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital Interaction Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/planta-planter.md) - [DIY LED Flower Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floled.md) - [Biophilic Garden Lights](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-organism-lights.md) - [Interactive Blooming Floor Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp.md) - [Virtual Pet Planter Pots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plant-pot-concept.md) - [Climate-Controlled Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-flower-system.md) - [Architecture-Inspired Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vegetment-vegetable-cultivator.md) - [Vibrant Dynamic Wall Plant-Hangers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floos.md) - [Conceptual Fresh Flower Refrigerators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flora.md)
