Step Into The Future With Time Traveler’s Watch

admin — Fri, 21 May 2010 19:16:15 +0000

A clock is essentially a time machine in that it is our only connection with time as we travel through it. Taking the clock one step further, designer Christie Brashers has designed a watch that can actually take you into the past and future. The watch disguises itself as fashionable wrist wear until touch-activated by the time traveler. It first shows the traveler which point in time he is currently in as the dots disappears and the date becomes visible. Before traveling, he selects a destination in time by scrolling his finger along the blue lines to shuffle through the year, month, day and time of day. When each time specification is determined, he is launched into space. Using OLED and digital scroll technology, the time traveler’s watch is more than just a timepiece that literally steps into the future.

Drawing inspiration from old science fiction movies, South Korean designer Ungnoh Yoon has come up with a unique mobile phone dubbed “Matrix phone 02” that blends conventional design with contemporary technology. When the cellphone is closed, it looks like an old fashioned beeper or mobile device, but as soon as you slide the upper side, the Graphen display, one of the next gen technologies, pops up to change the mobile phone into a futuristic device. Featuring a compact size, the old futuristic phone just measures 140 (opened) and 90 (closed) x 50 x 15 mm (HWD). When closed, the Matrix phone shows a green OLED light to indicate simple and basic information like time, caller ID, quick dial info and so on, while on the other hand, when opened, the Graphen screen displays all the other information.

Conceived by designer Lisa Kohanski, the “Tripod” is a functional MP3 player that comes integrated with an OLED display to become a movie player. All the users needs to do to transform the Tripod from a music player to a movie player is turn the MP3 player upside down and pull the two halves apart while holding the release button.

The hinge unfolds and locks after you loosen the OLED screen, to steady the unit. You may remove the MP3 control, which can be used as a remote to control the movie player without leaving your seat. The triangular device also supports surround sound with built-in speakers located at the top.

PSP 2 Makes Pocket Bulges Almost R-rated

admin — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:57:52 +0000

Sony just barely updated the PSP but designer Tai Chiem is already thinking about the next iteration. His design calls for a flexible OLED display that can be conveniently rolled. An electric charge powering the display stiffens it while providing near bezeless prime real estate for gaming. Stereo speakers on either side double as a jog wheel and camera control. He also envisages Sony finally implementing two joysticks. Pipe dream or not, it’s sexy and lives up to its name; it don’t get any more portable than this.
