If you are bored of the usual mobile phones and are looking forward to something really innovative and unique then the Glovephone is for you. Jokes apart, the Glove phone is actually a glove designed like a phone that can be worn on the hand and connect to your handset. Meant particularly for people living in extreme weather conditions or for the rescue workers who work under extreme conditions to keep their hands least exposed.
Not just this, the Glovephone features an emergency button if you get injured in limited mobility conditions.
The palm of the glove features the cute keypad while the index finger homes the speaker that falls right there on your ear and not to forget the mouthpiece which is just near the mound. For your information the glovephone is programmed to dial 911 automatically in case you end up fighting fist by someone. Can’t say much about the success of the concept, but no doubt it looks innovative for sure.

Usually we have seen people grooving to the music, but the pacer suit flips the convention and comes to fore as a gizmo that produces music at the hint of your movements. All you need to do is wear the suit loaded with sensors and integrated speakers, which send out tones corresponding to the movements of the wearer.
Now, if you eye at listening to music that your shaking is producing just wear the headphone that comes along and get the taste.
Again a futuristic concept, we doubt as to which will be the usage this piece of wearable technology will be put to. Ah!…here comes something, how about musicians dancing away on the stage to mak some good music for people to groove upon.

Usually we think that switching off the gadgets means there’s no more power consumption, which is actually not. Even when electrical appliances are “turned off†they’re still consuming energy adding into your electricity bill. But to bring you out of this situation, designer Henry Huang, Jack Chang and Howard Yu have made a device called JustDrawIt.
To put it simply, it is a home timer for all your appliances telling you when the gadgets can be totally powered off without affecting your functionality. The clue to tell you that the amount oftime left with that microwave, toaster and lamp till the power goes off comes off from a row of LED lights. Though just a concept ill date, nothing can be said about its functionality till the product actually hits the market.

For those who have always been worried about the walls which had ears have something more to worry about for ‘walls that can talk’ are finally here. This is again a concept which once materialize will turn all your walls into speakers bloating out your favourite music. This one is going to be the most challenging innovation in the world of speakers leaving behind the shell series speakers or the Ferrari inspired speakers.
Now materials scientist Michael Yu at Johns Hopkins University has come up with this new material which will allow piezoelectric sound devices to be fixed precisely any where inside the most inaccessible places.
Piezoelectric devices are found in microphones and speakers that move in response to voltage, or create voltage from movement.
Earlier found only inside very heavy, brittle materials the polymer with piezoelectic properties will be used as a coating that will be flexible enough to create speakers under your wall paper. Not just this, the new material will also open up possibilities to make innovative inventions like foldable speakers and more.

If you vouch for wearability, sleekness and innovation in the motor cycle that you ride, then the Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is sure to catch your fancy. Designed by Jake Loniak, this one scores high on wearability quotient since the driver is required to be worn bythe driver. Yamaha Deus Ex Machina is an an electric, single passenger, vertically parking, wearable motorcycle, that is controlled via 36 pneumatic muscles and 2 linear actuators.
If that was enough to let your curiosity buds go on a tizzy, the let me tease them further with the news that the mean machine is good enough to hit 0-60 MPH in three seconds and 60-0 in the side of a bus. I wish the concept all the best as I don’t think the so called wearable bike will score high on comfort levels and any body would like to be spotted on road looking like a wasp scrolling the streets in that ugly looking auto attire.

Posted in Concept, Designer Gadgets, Watch on 20 May 2008

Blame it to the human curiosity or the everlasting desire to live, each one of us is always concerned about our longevity, age or in simple words, how long will we live. Now, Timex is here to answer this complex but inevitable question with their latest concept in time telling called the ‘Time Life Index Watch’.
This unique watch from the time machine giant sticks to your body like a patch and keeps ticking, every moment reminding you of the time left with you on this planet.
Move inside the technicalities and what comes to fore as a detailed process that uses the biometric information (including factors like health, fitness, stress, nutrition, sleep and the amount of sleep and stress that you are exposed to ) that the watch takes from your body to convert it into figures. These figures are then used by the Index Watch to make a well calculated assumption about the time left with you.
Don’t get disheartened. there’s also a positive to this wonder gadget. It will also show you days and months being added in your span, whenever you get involved in a healthy task like exercising or a good diet. Won’t it be a great moral booster to see life getting added?

It won’t be an exaggeration if I tag this particular piece of technology as the most lavish convertible that I have ever come across. In this one you can convert a desk into a fully functional PC and a fully functional PC into an equally utilitarian desk whenever the need demands.
We are talking about the Sync concept from Art Deco, designed by Gareth Battensby. It features a huge flip-up LCD screen and an illuminated keyboard, striking enough to catch even a kid’s attention. Whenevr you need a desk and not a PC, just shut down the screen and there you have a clean desk waiting to be used.
This unique PC table with fold-away screen has something more to it. In a way it s a complete computer solution as it homes USB hub for peripherals, scanner, webcam, mouse, and storage space for CDs and stationary. Apart from that, the DVD and power unit is easily accessible, taking away the hassles of bending and stretching to locate them.
Talk about the aesthetics and you’ll find a modern and clean design which has got every feature and form to be touted as the best PC desks till date. Highly practical and easy to use, this concept has everything to hit the market with a boom.

I really cherish the advent of evolving concepts that vouches for its possible functionality. Readers, customers, retailers enjoy going through such stuff that makes them familiar with the futuristic patterns thereby governing the hi-tech style era. And the latest in the news is a cool-tool vacuum maker called “the BakVac†from Continuum
It helps you do away with your old exercise of dragging moving parts that helps you clean dust by positioning them at your back like a turtle. Quite sensible! This thought of adding an inch extra of comfort level can be factored by its electric motor powered by a fuel cell, keeping those pesky electrical cables from tripping you up.

It may take some time to be functional enough as its dependence upon fuel cell technology is not cheap enough in juxtaposition to other wild designs available today.
Not to mention, it is a convincing concept. All you need to do is to pour a little ethanol into the BakVac that transforms liquid into hydrogen thorough the wonders of chemistry, firing up a fuel cell. Huhhh, it doesn’t require any battery.
