State-of-the-art Scooter Posted: 22 Apr 2014 07:53 AM PDT The latest in a trend of fairing-clad scooters, the electric XQ’s semi-monocoque body does more than help aerodynamics. It offers sensible storage for the rider’s small belongings and cargo. It also houses the seat and steering column which automatically retract in OFF mode for both security and to save space. Rear-view microcams with smartphone syncing and solar panels for supplemental energy are just a few of its modern accessories.

Ultimate Transparency Posted: 22 Apr 2014 04:13 AM PDT Don't get me wrong, I love the Apple Keyboard, but I hate the fingerprint marks that my daily usage leaves on it. According to a research the amount of germs found on the keyboard is 60 times more than that on the toilet! To take care of these two issues we have here the UVLightBoard concept. The keyboard uses a transparency panel as the main structure. The technology used is of microstructures on an optical light guide that gives it the perfect illumination for buttons. This means users can type comfortably in any condition. The UV light guided inside UVLightBoard will irradiate germs adhered to the panel and sterilize it by the FTIR phenomenon. The UVLight Board is a 2014 iF Design Awards – Concept Design entry. Designer: Mu-Chern Fong - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!

The Guide Brick Posted: 22 Apr 2014 04:06 AM PDT The Blind Guider is an innovative guide brick that for the sight impaired. It provides the street names and directions to blind via RFID embedded on the guide brick. The blind communicate with the guide brick through the sensors found on the bottom of the guide cane, which is transmitted to the earphone. How feasible is this design is yet to be determined, however as a concept it is a good idea.

Considerate Ceramics Posted: 22 Apr 2014 12:01 AM PDT The Ceramic Scoop Bowl isn’t just cool because of its Cvisual oddness… it’s also designed to accommodate individuals with muscular conditions and is an ideal eating aid for one-handed users. The vertical wall and sloping bottom helps users easily guide food onto their utensils while also allowing the plate to rest at the edge of the table helping to eliminate spillage. For added safety, the bowl also features a nitrile rubber base to prevent sliding and provide a stable eating platform.
