Concept "Urban Future".

GloriaSt — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 10:56:11 +0000

The "Urban Future" concept seems to have found some small footholds in our world already. A concept that is being actively pursued for implementation is that of a solar roadway. The concept is highly futuristic that will need at least 20-25 years to execute, even by optimistic estimates. The idea of blurring the lines amongst roads, city squares and sidewalks.
As a working prototype, the "Urban Future" features an installation that is almost 185 square meter (or 1,991 square feet) section of a road. The entire area has been covered with a digitally programmable LED. This makes use of 3D cameras to sense not only the motion of the vehicles but also of the pedestrians and peddlers. This small illustration, strives to impress on how elegant and easy the future of traffic control would be and how the roads would become safe.

One look at the prototype and you get a clear cut picture of how the city of the future will be productively networked to provide safety and a rich outdoor experience. It will show traffic flowing continuously, without the need for traffic lights. The ‘road’ would become a space with multi-functional abilities that would be determined entirely based on the needs. And for those who bother about negligent driving, remember that the cars and vehicles that come along this concept are intelligent too. They will ensure that there is no collision. The best possible paths and patterns for the least crowding and maximum movement will be chosen by a highly intelligent system that is guided with hundreds of 3D cameras. In such a controlled environment, it will be the machines that take over almost all processes, except thinking and idea-generation.

Hampster Wheel Human Energy

Joni — Wed, 12 Oct 2011 17:30:04 +0000

Green wheels on a simulator, which converts the kinetic energy produced by the human body into electricity. Several machines are connected to a central storage unit of energy, where electricity can be supplemented with road lighting and traffic lights. Designer Nadim Inaty imagines that the device can be placed in public places, and allow users to donate a portion of its running time in exchange for a place to start. If you are in any case, why not?

Future Robot Vacuum Cleaner "Robo TAP Cleaner"

Joni — Wed, 10 Aug 2011 14:10:10 +0000

Robo TAP makes use of an indoor positioning system as it follows its own route to vacuum household floors. This design improves upon automatic vacuums like Roomba by giving users more hands-on control. When you want it to pay attention to a particularly dirty spot, you just tap your foot twice to summon it. The foot-controlled Robo TAP keeps you on your toes.

Flying Yacht: Innovative Future

Joni — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 14:16:50 +0000

The brainchild of French designer Yelken Octuri who also designs cabins for Airbus, this ‘Flying Yacht’ concept combines his knowledge of aircraft design with love for seas to create this outlandish concept yacht. We have seen many seaplane concepts so far, but this one surpasses them all as greatest does the least. Flying Yacht idea doesn’t seem as weird or far-fetched, as many engineers and designers have already approached him to turn it into reality.

When on the water, each of the four mobile masts reaches a height of 40-meters and can be individually oriented through a double-jack system, which ensure optimal positioning regardless of wind direction. Sails are stored in compartments located inside the each mast that are further lowered down to work as horizontal wings. This amazing 46-feet long trimaran sailing yacht converts from super yacht to glamorous jet plane with the help of four mobile masts.

Futuristic Speedboat "Seabreacher X" (video)

Joni — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 14:54:27 +0000

The ingenious creation, powered by a 1500cc engine which helps the 17 feet vessel, reaches the speed of 50 mph on the surface of water as well as launches 18 feet into the air from smooth underwater sailing position. Two foot pedals in the cockpit allow drivers to manipulate the fins and control the jet stream created by the 260 hp gas engine that gets its oxygen via an air intake at the dorsal fin when it’s underwater.

The seat, pneumatically sealed watertight cockpit, is flanked by six fins with a single jet controlling propulsion and steering. The Seabreacher X is the ultimate watercraft that can not only work as a submarine and a speedboat but also as a seaplane, albeit it stays in flight for a few seconds only. Inside the cockpit, the Innespace Seabreacher comes fitted with an iPod-compatible media system, a GPS and an LCD screen that beams live feed via a camera mounted on the dorsal fin. This thus acts like a digital periscope. Innespace Seabreacher X, From $81,000

New Technology in the Future

Next generation computer!

GloriaSt — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 02:54:35 +0000

If you think the computer you see right in front of you will always be the same. In terms of technology, and yes, Shape then guys, think again! You’ve got a valid reason to do so for designer Sophia Yung has come up with the inventive futuristic computer design named Lotus. It’s named so because it’s shaped like lotus.

Imitating the lotus plant, the cool new computer system is endowed with amazing technology. Integration with one of the five human senses viz. olfaction is what I find the coolest trait of Lotus besides its design. Also, there’s a smell spray, artificial intelligence, and video and keypad projector that will help develop progressive visual and interactive relationship between the user and the computer. Besides all this, Lotus will add to your home decor with its looks and smart design. Do I need to spend more words? I’m actually spell bound!

Touchscreen-concept future technologies

Last year’s CES found us at the booth of the iTable, which was an overlay for LCDs and TVs of any size that turned them into a multi-touch surface. We thought it was awesome, and the possibilities were many and various. Now we find that someone has one-upped the iTable, creating a multi-touch surface that’s thinner than a sheet of paper and can just be rolled onto any surface. How cool is that?!

DISPLAX, made by a Portuguese company, is prepared for an age where every tabletop, wall, or any large flat (or even curved) surface could be a touchscreen. DISPLAX is a thinner-than-paper polymer film that can be applied to glass, plastic, or wood and can detect up to 16 touches at once.

Concept future:Lighter Side Of Sketching

admin — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 09:32:38 +0000

One of the features that designers are going to sorely miss in the iPad is sketching straight onto the tablet. Many of us anticipated this element to be included, but sadly it’s not. So it’s back to the basics of getting back to pen and paper…or if you’d much rather fancy a Computer Notebook! Notebook Sketchbook it is!

Concept future:the iPhone of 2020?

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 07:31:01 +0000

Designer Josselin Zaïgouche, who created the Zero Phone we’ve shown you half an year ago has now sent us an incredible design, the Apple Black Hole concept, possibly the iPhone of the year 2020. “What’s going to happen in 10 years” asks the designer and the answer should look something like this

As you can see, the Apple Black Hole comprises 4 components: the charging base, the Prism, the Black Hole and the giftbox. Things get interesting when you try to use the handset… its central ball will levitate when you open your hand and all functions will be controlled in mid-air, with the aid of holographic technology. How cool is that?

The Black Hole concept phone can be connected to the charging base and used as a desktop device, still projecting the needed interface. Brilliant? Yes! Viable? Maybe…

Concept future:vertical Grow Pro

admin — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 05:45:41 +0000

Use your worm power! For all of you who’ve got a hankering for a few leaves and sprouts, here’s a vertical home garden for your personal use. Below you’ll find six steps to your home greenery edification. It employs drip watering, wormie friends, and a whole bunch of sustainable living. The name’s “Urb Garden” and I’d like to say, it’s time for some plants and it’s super easayyy.

First, you’ve gotta put a bunch of food scraps (like banana peels, old bread, apple cores, and hard chunks of milk) into the worm farm.

Then, the worm friends produce liquid fertalizer, to which a bit of extra water is added for easier flowing.

The liquid is pumped up to the holding tank, and drips down through the growing pods where the plants are growing. -The unused liquid then drains back into the tank to be recycled through the system again.

Bigtime fun for everyone! This system is too easy to use!
