iHome’s iW2 AirPlay speaker concept

Joni — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 13:08:22 +0000

Wi-Fi speakers that are compatible with Apple’s AirPlay wireless audio technology are gradually expected to come down in price this year after coming out of the gate in 2011 with lofty price tags that scared a lot of consumers away. Case in point: iHome’s $199 iW2 speaker with AirPlay, which the company says will begin shipping April 1. This unit is about 25 percent smaller than last year’s iHome iW1 ($299); it measures 5.83 by 10.52 by 3.03 inches (HWD). In many regards it’s similar to the iW1, but it does not feature a built-in rechargeable battery like the iW1 does. This model is powered by an AC adapter and includes a remote. iHome touts the fact that you can plug a dock into the iW2 via the USB port on the back and charge your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad, though no dock is provided. Alternatively, you can simply charge your Apple mobile device with the standard iPhone/iPad charging/synching cable. That’s a nice feature. Later this year iHome will release the iW3 and iW4 AirPlay units. The iW3 is a vertical, more cylindrically shaped speaker; the iW4 follows the same design as iHome’s iPad/iPhone clock radio docks. Both units are expected to cost around $200 and ship this spring.

Aire Mask: your breathing into renewable electrical power

Joni — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:31:41 +0000

There is a dearth of tech products that can also double as accessories for fictional serial killers. If Hannibal Lecter was as into jogging as he was into human consumption, he would have definitely been sporting the Aire mask to power his iPod. The idea behind the mask it that your breath charges your small electronics. The mask contains small wind turbines that convert your huffing and puffing into renewable power. The Aire is just a concept at this point, and it’s not very likely to see the light of a local Best Buy shelf anytime soon. The mask is intriguing enough to have earned a Red Dot design award in the energy category for its creator, Joao Paulo Lammoglia, though it has some aesthetic issues that walk the line between creepy and cool. Maybe it would look less threatening, if it came in colors like hot pink and lime green. In the search for renewable-energy sources, it makes sense to go all out and try some new ideas–like strapping wind turbines to your mouth. I would definitely add an Aire mask to my post-apocalyptic survival kit, along with my Ralph Lauren solar backpack and 1TB Swiss Army Knife for fighting off zombies. Should the Aire ever make it into production, be sure to grab one for your Mortal Kombat costume.

Music Phone "Ondo" by PILOTFISH

admin — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 18:08:13 +0000

Conceptual mobile phone for the music enthusiast who seeks to interactively capture, edit and share sounds. The Ondo concept enables OEMs to visualize a new form of user interaction for mobile phones. Going beyond software-based solutions of other products, it is specifically designed to effectively collect pure sounds and is specially constructed to create a tactile sound editing experience. Like a portable recording studio, “Ondo” makes mixing tracks easy, because each “stick” picks up isolated sounds from each individual instrument. Made from form-sensitive flexible materials, the “Ondo” allows the user to modify recorded sounds by physically twisting and bending the device.

Concept for Future Eco Drive Monorail.

GloriaSt — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 07:32:38 +0000

Amazing concept of the railway infrastructure of the future. Efficient operation of old and new. Two trains move in one direction, or may move in different directions. As well as trains rush through the old familiar railway. So, the Eco Drive Monorail (EDM) will expand the existing rail network which has struggled to keep up with high demand at peak commuter times. It offers a range of environmentally friendly technologies and innovative design features. Will the reality of this concept remains to be seen.

The William – concept

admin — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 19:09:13 +0000

The William is the next evolutionary step in modern kitchen cooking — utilizing the full surface area potential of a stove-top. When pots and pans are placed on The William they are automatically detected by the Honeycombs that then produce a uniquely heated Signature with corresponding controls on a touch screen interface. Each Signature is defined by the active Honeycombs that fill the entire bottom surface of cookware to ensure a perfectly even heat distribution.

New signatures are assigned a number and are visually represented in 2 areas of the Control Panel; the Visualizer and the Heat Controller. This allows the user to interact with, and control, each new Signature and access signature-specific information like temperature, time span, and weight. The user also has the option to set custom Auto functions. Of course, The William also has a clock, a timer, and beautifully displays date and time which are regular functions users expect from any stove-top.

The system includes a disposable saliva collection cartridge and swabbing pad, as well as a handheld analysis instrument. The officer instructs the motorist to remove the green swab from the cartridge to collect a sample; once collected, the officer then inserts the entire cartridge into the instrument to trigger an automated analysis, which can detect the presence of up to 8 different drug types. Advanced UV detection technology allows fast, accurate results in just 2 minutes, relayed to the OLED touch screen.
