You love light-up cars, right? You want your car to stick-out and keep the streets bright, right?

[These sensors ensure that] only the owner can use the car. Everything is opened [and activated] by touch. The lights com...

Based on a personal computer that accompanies you through your day and context-oriented docking stations at personal spaces like in the office or at home. Those stations are matching the needs of the user in their particular surrounding, like home entertainment in the living room or conferences and multi-tasking at the office.The computer itself is a OLED-touchscreen slider, with a second hidden touchscreen underneath. This way, it gives you a similar working experience as with a 2-monitor setup. It is controlled per hand or via a senstylus pen, that you can use like a normal pen or twist it a...

The Mac is Back with a Double-Dose of Glass Phone Sty...These would definitely need protective cases to make it through a day in my pocket, or any other regular human-being for that matter. And with a full-glass (and a little bit of plastic) construction, I wouldnt be using it on anything but pure-pc-clean-hands days. On the other hand, they are just gorgeous, as per usual. Oh, and they are dubbed Glassy Glassy phones by Funamizu. Not to be mistaken for the Gassy Gassy phones which Im in the process of making, lols.

A Phone That’s Not Afraid to Mess with WaterBy Tony Tran on October 24th, 2008 | 3 Comments
Among the grievous wrongs done by touchscreen technology, the worst is its disregard for tactile feedback. Without the pleasant sensation of a button being pressed, we are woefully incapable of using any gadget without complete visual attention. This Nokia concept tries to right this wrong by using a small pump to fill a substrate beneath the screen that gives our fingers something to feel and press. Maybe now I can finally type out these posts while driving to work without having to put my coffee in the cup holder. Designer: Rune LarsenTweet Incoming search terms for the article:a pho...

PSP 2 Makes Pocket Bulges Almost R-ratedBy Tony Tran on October 24th, 2008 | 3 Comments
Sony just barely updated the PSP but designer Tai Chiem is already thinking about the next iteration. His design calls for a flexible OLED display that can be conveniently rolled. An electric charge powering the display stiffens it while providing near bezeless prime real estate for gaming. Stereo speakers on either side double as a jog wheel and camera control. He also envisages Sony finally implementing two joysticks. Pipe dream or not, it’s sexy and lives up to its name; it don’t get any more portable than this. Designer: Tai ChiemTweet Incoming search terms for the arti...

Idea for new technology phone versionBy Tony Tran on October 24th, 2008 | 2 Comments
I don’t know what it is about Apple fanboys, but they can’t stand to see good design without their beloved logo glowing affectionately on the back. The designer, Mac Funamizu, drew on the Nokia Aeon to design a phone he would like to have, complete with Apple’s standard livery. Using a nondescript tactile feedback technology, its surface adapts to different purposes while the e-ink screen envelops the phone in graphics and information.Designer: Mac FunamizuTweet Incoming search terms for the article:newtecknology phone (1)...
