The 45-degree Effect

Posted: 23 May 2014 06:55 AM PDT

The Outdoor Flashlight has two main selling points to the concept. One – it has a 45-degree angle to it and two – it has twice the solar charging panels to it. The angle is to ensure proper illumination and ability to guide the light in the correct direction. The solar panels give it the extra edge in eco-charging. Since it is the outdoor light, you will have enough exposure to the sun!

The T-Block Effect

Posted: 23 May 2014 05:56 AM PDT

Watches are to men as diamonds are to women; both count as the number one fashion accessory and are timeless. Innovation is of essence and creative ways of telling time is a novelty factor. Beyond doubt, complications and mechanical watches are the epitome of technicalities, however due credit has to be given to path-breaking manufactures like the T-Block Watch. Designed to dress the wrist, the most challenging part is to resist the linear display of time!

The watch is inspired by the ‘less is more’ styling and is made using a tough polyurethane case and seamless matching strap. There is a very unique way to read the time, which is showcased via the embedded LEDs on the watch face. The dial houses an array of attractive lights that dim in sleep mode. However, if you want to know the date or time, simply hit one of the buttons and the lights appear, revealing it.

Ask a watch designer and they will tell you that designing it is not as easy as drawing a strap and affixing a dial; there is a scientific and holistic approach to it. Research and development are the backbone of this endeavor and only once everything is in sync, can it be manufactured. The same process applies to the T-Block Watch, which stems from the lineage of the Classic, Zero A and Zero B watches from TIME-IT. After the successful invention of the ‘linear time reading system’, the process was integrated in this iconic watch.

The TIME-IT folks say that it took several years of R&D by a devoted team of technicians, engineers and designers to realize this studio. Founders Ramon Groen and Michaƫl Mourgue laid the groundwork of creating a watch never seen before: An LED display with linear time reading system that could change perception of time!

Key features:

  • Battery: CR2450
  • Water Resistance: 3-ATM
  • Function: Time, calendar display
  • Low power consumption
  • Automatic sleep function after 5 seconds
  • Materials: case and strap made from polyurethane
  • Case: 50 x 40 mm

Aqua Audio

Posted: 23 May 2014 12:01 AM PDT

There’s nothing like the natural sound of moving water to relax the mind and body. Swonar harnesses this tranquility in an interactive instrument you can control. 5 rhythmically oriented streams allow water to fall on stones that have each been perforated to achieve a unique tone. Users can make their own music by using a pressure touch interface or sit back and enjoy the soothing sound of falling water.

Get Ready for Oculus Rift!

Posted: 23 May 2014 12:01 AM PDT

After being successfully crowd-funded, the consumer version of the much anticipated Oculus Rift is still a mystery. This concept by Carlos Pendas gives a glimpse as to what we might expect the virtual reality head-mounted display to look like. It’s designed around 3 main features: a curved screen, integrated headphones and a gesture recognition system. Simple and friendly, it’s a far cry from the gargantuan headsets of yesteryear!
