I did see bloggers blogging away about this video. And it took me a while to get reoccurred to actually watch it. I love future ideas, especially those Darwin Ideas (I created the slang because it is one of those ideas that will be the “survival of the fittest” for the next generation of products to evolve).
He raise an excellent point about how are we going to conquer the next evolution of touch screen and graphic interaction of work. But will this be the true direction? I don’t know, but I do know I can’t see Apple making a keyboard with a huge multi-touchpad. It is going against Apple’s design philosophies. Also the software is so the future of windows 7 in terms of graphic looks and the structure. It is not apple cause apple like to create gestural creativity to there OS usablity. Oh well, Enjoy.
Braille phone is a universal cellular phone concept that is able to produce Braille code in a particular part of it by using Electric Active Plastic to make it usable for visually handicapped people.
personally china design is slowly evolving and who knows when it will pick up in terms of the world recognizing it…. lenovo might be the first to step forward the phone…welll…. the phone…. got some chinese influence in the details… they are coming along or this would not get posted.

I in envision that the future of green retail store is going back to basics…make stations for all your graphic purposes and strip all printed packing into a simple biodegradable container that houses the product. These images are too fancy…well the stations are right, but the individual packaging containers has too much waste on it…. of course you know what “technology” will do for us in five years, let alone what made chemical scientist will think up next.
Try this, blindfold yourself and pour a glass of water without spilling it over. Ok, make this tougher, fill in exactly ¾ th cup. Tough? Yeah, that’s how hard it is for the blind people to fill in mugs of beverages without spilling. Dipping the pinkie to anticipate the levels is ok for cold stuff, but what about scalding hot coffee! The Braun Bell Mug has 3 indicative levels on the handle and liquid-level sensors within the mug. The blind folks only need to choose their levels and keep pouring till the bell sounds.
Dandella (think dandelion) is a GPS-like tracking device. Though it behaves more like a sunflower always point towards the sun, this device lights up & bends towards its direction or other dandella that it’s been synchronised with. Easy for finding your friend in a crowded mall, or for parents to keep track of their kids at the mall.
I like the idea… just wish he smile in the pictures. It is not like humans are lifeless.
The brief was to optimize the application of BASF’s plastic material ULTRADUR and the result was an Induction Iron. Utilizing ULTRADUR’s heat resistant heat resistant properties to his advantage, Therese came up with a bare minimal design that has been “stripped down to the essentials.”
