Dear PA reader,

The boundaries between technology, design, and everyday life are dissolving in ways that feel both surprising and inevitable. At the foot of Mt. Fuji, Toyota’s $10 billion Woven City opens its doors as a living laboratory, where robots, AI, and autonomous vehicles coexist with human residents.

Across Tokyo, footsteps are now generating electricity, turning the city itself into a source of power. Far above Earth, StarClouds is exploring orbital data centers that redefine connectivity, while on the ground, Autodesk’s AI models promise to reshape how we design the world around us.

From Dream Recorder’s memory-capturing AI to Meta’s augmented-reality glasses and ON Labs’ interactive LightSpray shoes, innovation is becoming tangible, wearable, and profoundly personal.
