Finger Battery Charger Concept

We’ve all been there when your juice has gone in your mobile phone or device its game over.

Rather then carrying extra juice packs and chargers this innovative concept by Song Teaho & Hyejin Lee allows you to charge your devices battery with a few quick spins on your finger.

Well approx. 130 revolutions to be exact to help you make that import call and keep you going until a full charge.
Might be a little tricky on the current version of the iPhone at the moment. But anything to help keep your devices juiced up has to be a good thing. Especially when you dont have to carry any other gadget to do it.

Microsoft Muscle Control

Microsoft has just released information of its new muscle control interface technology which allows you to control devices using your muscles. Which opens up a whole new dimension in possible game and real world controllers for devices.

The new technology uses “electromyography”, or EMG which records the electrical activity of muscles and translate those signals into instructions. Check out the video after the jump.

As computing and displays begin to integrate more seamlessly into our environment and are used in situations where the user is not always focused on the computing task, it is important to consider mechanisms for acquiring human input that may not necessarily require direct manipulation of a physical implement.

We explore the feasibility of muscle-computer input: an interaction methodology that directly senses and decodes human muscular activity rather than relying on physical device actuation or user actions that are externally visible or audible.

3D Posters

Posters are the most widely-adopted advertisements, and we can find them in the street, in a cinema, on a bus. They’re everywhere, and they’re all 2D posters, with attracting colors, pictures, but seldom a stereoscopic impression. And we say, we want something different, we do need a change. Moreover, even the designers also claimed that they hated 2D posters, and they’ve come up with the innovative 3D posters.

The Pinch Light

Has Shinyoung Ma ever developed photographs in a dark room? If not, why was the pinch lighting design invented? But what is sure to us is that these lights will create you different atmospheres, according to your moods. Of course, it won’t give out strong light, but will bring you more ideas and creativities.

Twin Robots

Let me see …well, the twin robots are just like the two sides of a coin, one is an angle and the other is a devil. For example, when you play chess, the black robot will mess up the chessboard while the white one will guide you a clever move. Preparing a vacation? The black would have already made a flight reservation to Bali Island for you, using your credit card of course, and the white robot? Wow, the considerate guy has collected up your luggage. Not that the white robot is better than the black, but only with both they two, life will truly be splendid.

Everyday is a special day.

Called Everyday Special, 366 unique watches are included in the new watch series by Crispin Jones, to commemorate every special day during the year. Each watch features a fixed time, with the month written on the hour hand and the day on the minute hand. So what date is significant to you?

NOVA Concept DSLR

Single lens reflex cameras, automatic miniature cameras, different cameras perform differently in focusing, imaging, but they still have certain things in common. At least, they’re all square, rigid square. But the NOVA Concept DSLR is not included. Yes, it’s merely a concept at present, but seeing the camera on the market will have been worth our wait.

Integrated Watch

It’s an integrated watch without anything but a dial plate. Not the designer Dave Prince is too careless to forget equipping the hour hand and the minute hand, but he is intended to show you the time in another way—by the light leaked from the interstice.

Designer: Dave Prince

DIY Net-enabled Cat Feeder

Possibly no feeder on the market is good enough to take care of Mathew Newton’s cat, so finally the British man decided to DIY a cat feeder and he succeeded! The new cat feeder is actually a motor-driven cereal dispenser controlled by signal from port status LEDs equipped on a Cisco switch. As a result, even if you’re far away from your kitty, you can still feed it via a web interface. Great! Those who also love pets may follow Mathew Newton’s example, and try to invent more devices all by yourselves.

The ‘Piece of Cake’ lets you going Dutch with CC

Going Dutch with credit card? Not that is impossible, but the idea just reminds me of an impressed scene of the movie ‘Confessions of a Shopaholic’. When Rebecca wanted to buy a green scarf, the crazy girl swiped almost all her cards to pay for it. Won’t that embarrass you in a similar situation? But to guys who love going Dutch with CC, they’re sure to love the ‘Piece of Cake’, a device that allows everyone to pay for their shares by CC.

Popcorns burst the bags open

These popcorn bags could be put into your microwave oven directly, and when the popcorns are done, the bags will turn into bowls as a result, therefore saving you much trouble of doing the dishes. Doesn’t the bowl trigger anything for you? Just think of the classic game we played in the childhood—origami.
