The idea is to keep a digital copy of the drawings or notes handy for future reference. The device is programmed to automatically recognize handwriting, identify emails and web URLs. What's more, it can share the saved data via email wirelessly! The designers explain, "The design consists of an LCD screen to show the scanned information during the erasing process. It also displays a simple menu allowing the user to select other functions. Navigation control buttons are located below the LCD screen. The letter "e" and the light pipe around the device light up to show that Erascan is in power mode." Designers: Saharudin Busri, Mohd Nizam Najmuddin, Mohd Rohaizam Mohd Tahar, Nuzairi Yasin & Nazjimee Amat Omar for MIMOS Berhad

| Posted: 01 Feb 2012 12:13 AM PST Ever wished there was a hole in the floor that would open up and swallow you in? Wishing for a similar safe haven, we have designer Chuang Chihong's version; The Gully Cover Light. In his words, "the design suggests an imaginary space beneath the floor. It gives the impression that there is a refuge underfoot – a place to which we could escape." The light turns on when we lift the manhole cover, and switches off when we replace it. I think it's a clever way to bring the outdoors in! Gully Cover Light is a 2011 reddot design concept entry. Designer: Chuang Chihong

| Posted: 01 Feb 2012 12:01 AM PST End number of times I've had to ground my children for carelessly leaving the bath water running, leading to an overspill. Not only is it cardinal wastage of a precious resource but also the additional work of mopping up. A simple gadget like Water&time promises you no more wastage. This intuitive valve screws onto any regular faucet and turns off the water automatically after its timer goes off. You simply need to figure out how long will it take for you to fill up the tub. I think its suitable for the kitchen sink as well, don't you? Designers: Xiaolu Zhang and Yuelong Liao
