Easy Urban Hen House

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 08:14 AM PDT

Nest is a kit-set hen house and supporting system designed specifically for first-time hen keepers in urban areas who can provide refuge for spent hens (hens considered unusable by farms). To minimize damage to the owner’s property, the house has been designed to rotate 360 degrees on a ground spike and bearing system. Other key features include a regulator in the roof to control light and air flow and a specialized slatted floor which allows dropping to fall through into a wood shavings mix that helps prevent odor. 

Designer: Stacey Kenny

Touchy-feely Hearing Aid

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 05:08 AM PDT

Conventional hearing aids come with a lot of short comings. Loud noises making the wearer feel irritable, the awkwardness of wearing bigger sized hearing aids and many more. The CLOSE is an attempt at an alternative system to provide speech input to the hearing impaired by means of tactile sensations.

Fashioned like a stylish smart watch, CLOSE has been claimed to possess the capability to analyze and convert auditory signals into tactile sensations. It aims to achieve tactile communication by means of electrode arrays that simulates the feeling of touch on the wrist. The designers are confident that human brain could decipher these tactile inputs into speech patterns. CLOSE can also share information with a smartphone via Bluetooth linking.

The CLOSE concept would be a great invention if it could work perfectly as claimed by the designers. Because, not only can this be an alternative to hearing aids, but also help people with cochlear damage and zero hearing abilities.

Designers: Zhengmu Fang, Liang Wenshan & Liu Junming

Sound Solution

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 04:43 AM PDT

It is an irony that the very properties that makes a noise cancellation earphone desirable, can also deem it hazardous. Even though it feels nice to get disconnected from the chaos and din of the streets, the feature also renders you deaf to possible warning sounds such as the honking of a car or a bicycle bell. The ‘Master Your Sound’ earphones are designed to provide the best of both worlds with a feature to turn noise cancellation on and off at will. A mere twisting of a knob can turn off Noise cancellation and let the sounds from outside trickle in along with the music.

Spray the Right Way

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Maybe it’s because you were groggy in the morning, or maybe that you didn’t have your glasses on… whatever the reason, we’ve all accidentally sprayed ourselves with hairspray, perfume, cologne or something like it! The Free-Hole Spray bottle and nozzle ensures that never happens again! Six holes are arranged around a silicon button. When pressed, the malleable button covers all the holes except for the one in the direction you’re pointing.

Designers: Slgie Kim, Heyin Jo & Bich-Na Bae

Be tangle-free until we’re cable-free!

Posted: 31 Mar 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Untile we go completely wireless, earphone cords and mobile phone charging cables are must haves… which means tangles and knots aren’t going anywhere soon either. The Pop-up Cord Wrap aims to resolve the problem of cable management so they stay organized and tangle-free for easy access. The design contains 3 compartments for different sized cables. Made entirely of rubber, it pops up so cables can be coiled and pushes back to store them neatly. Whichever layer you need, just pop it out!

Designers: Cheng Sheng, Cheng Zhipeng, Du Qingyi, Huang Luobin, Shen Chixin & Xia Fang
