Zero watch concept perfects the minimal timepiece (35)
on
Engadget (4919) permalink
Unless you're a fan of high-tech jewelry, few things are as irksome as an overblown wristwatch design (we're looking at you Tokyoflash). While a binary timepiece will certainly up your geek cred, it's not very useful for providing at-a-glance information. Robert Dabi's Zero concept above, however, remains simple, beautiful, and amazingly enough, useful, all that same time. Practical too if he can coax a batch of round LCD displays into a production run.

Acer working on frameless laptop with touchscreen keyboard? (41)
onWould you believe that Acer is working on a frameless laptop with touchscreen keyboard? As far-fetched as the idea might be, it's certainly plausible, expected even. The idea, as rumored by DigiTimes, involves doing away with the display's frame by printing colors directly onto the back of the display's reinforced glass substrate from Corning (a la Gorilla Glass presumably). Coupled with a touchscreen keyboard, the rumored device should be impossibly thin by traditional laptop comparisons. ...Shared by AdiR1 (21) Alisha764 (12) Allerhed (111) Ankur (12) askarnett (487) ballistik696 (55) bobbywan (13) brier (4) Corey (146) duru gürültü (7) and 31 more »Explore read five notes

Convert Your Nation Into Star-Shaped Islands And Save It From Sinking [Concepts] (13)
on
Gizmodo (5748) permalink
The Maldives, a small nation consisting of 1,200 islands is gradually disappearing as sea levels rise. In an attempt to save the place, their government has signed off on the development of several "floating facilities" like this one. Dutch Docklands/Dutch Watervalley, makers of many floating homes, are the starry-eyed folks working with the Maldives government on this project and they intend on creating tiered—and yes, star-shaped—mini-cities which won't be bothered by rising sea levels. There ...Shared by Anthony Pantekoek (24) arturopelayo (243) Ash (48) balintd (115) Declan (69) Gareth (24) Haris (182) JakeL (27) JAYA (18) John Munro (94) and three more »Comment View comments -
Porsche 918 Spyder concept is the most beautiful hybrid we've ever seen (50)
onUm, we're sure there's something sensible to be said about this Porsche concept, but we're not altogether capable of coherent expression at present. We want to own one of these so badly, we don't even care if it has an engine. And boy does the 918 Spyder have an engine. A 3.4-liter V8 petrol burner is combined with electric motors to put out 500bhp, while featuring the mind-altering acceleration to go from a standing start ...Shared by Allerhed (111) Anoop (10) ayn (10) BJ (40) BriskLad (212) Chip (10) chris (2) D (8) Denis (30) Elaine (106) and 40 more »Explore read five notes

Printing My Food By The Molecule (32)
on
Yanko Design (419) permalink
Molecular gastronomy studies the physical and chemical processes that occur while cooking. It basically tries to investigate and explain the chemical reasons behind the transformation of ingredients. We saw reference to this stream a while ago and now inspired by the so-called ‘molecular gastronomists’ who take pride in completely deconstructing food only to re assemble them bizarre modern ways, Philips Design presents the Food Creation Concept. Food Creation consists of a food printer that would ...Shared by adam (1287) Allen Sentance (1340) Allen Sentance (1310) Altaf Sayani (21) Avi (523) Azher Memon (26) Chris (1174) chris789 (636) dagorret (668) Dave Park (49) and 22 more »Comment View comments -
Honda's Eco-Friendly Trike of the Future [Concepts] (11)
onThe annual Geneva Motor Show has had an early entry ahead of next week, with Honda's battery-powered 3R-C concept trike looking very fast and ever so protective of the dry head inside. The minimal, space-age three-wheeler has a low electric drivetrain to improve stability, and high sides for greater safety. Added to that, the lockable boot at the front will protect the millions of dollars worth of jewels you've just stolen in the high-speed jewelery ...Shared by ballistik696 (55) Ben (133) bigkid (475) Chris (35) DaFerret (8) Ganesh (14) Kreg (144) mckoss (61) Mohamed (54) PanzZ (5) and one more »Comment View comments

Multi-Tab concept elevates power strips to an art form (14)
onWe've seen plenty products both real and imagined that promise to improve on the standard power strip, but few as elegantly designed as this so-called "Multi-Tab" concept from designer Soon Mo Kang. Not only is it modular to accommodate as many plugs as you need, but each module also has its own release mechanism to eject the plug without pulling on it, and it would come with a set of stickers to let you label ...Shared by adantas (23) Blaze (11) Brandon (43) casek (28) Chad (288) Doganman (108) Ellen (15) Josh (185) Ludovic (196) mdp (19) and four more »

When Are We Getting These? [Concept] (12)

Mercedes-Benz F800 Style teases us with fuel cells, aggressive new look (17)
onMercedes has just announced its latest "research vehicle," the F800 Style, and as concepts are wont to do, it intersperses some extremely ambitious goals with plenty of viable and forthcoming improvements. The two powertrain options touted by the company represent this best. On the one hand, there's a perfectly reasonable PHEV setup that will generate north of 400bhp combined grunt and offer an 18-mile range when abstaining from gas power. On the other, there's an ...Shared by A.T. (76) Ben (67) BriskLad (212) Chris (57) dukz (17) Francois (10) Kristen (2) Lucas (0) Metaphox (81) Nandan (58) and seven more »Comment View comments

Leech Plug disconnects when your gadget is charged, does Ma Earth a favor (20)
onThe TrickleStar line of products does a good job of killing vampire power drain already, but all of those still require you to lift a finger and flip a toggle switch to "off" in order to stop the flow of energy when nothing is there to be charged. Conor Klein's Leech Plug, however, does the dirty work for you.

Sony intros Alpha DSLR concepts, 'ultra-compact' interchangeable lens model included (13)

Looking to make a splash in a DSLR world dominated by Canon and Nikon, the outfit has brought a few of its best and brightest concepts to SoCal.
