| Know Your Parking Spot in Advance Posted: 28 Feb 2012 02:21 AM PST Ok so you drive into the public parking lot and keep circling around to find an empty spot. Cut, rewind and refresh! So you are back at the parking lot, only this time the ticket stub prints out the exact next available parking with a color-coded block, indicating the precise location for you. How cool is that! You not only save time in finding a spot, you also can find your way back to the car without a hitch. Awesome! Designers: Shih Chang-Chi, Huang Shao-Heng & Wang Shou-Yu - Related posts:        |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2012 01:58 AM PST Digitalization of music is a great step forward, but I also see how the notes get distorted when mimicking these wind instruments (saxophone, trumpet etc) via a computer. Digipipe offers a solution; it is fashioned as a whistle with sensors located behind the mouthpiece. Each blow into the mouthpiece measures the duration and strength of blowing mechanically and converts this to electronic signals. It then transfers the data via infrared light or Bluetooth to the computer or to the digital musical instrument, directly. Parallel and additional input via keyboard or touchpad is also possible, but nothing like doing it the original way! Designer: Emami Design - Related posts:     |
| Posted: 28 Feb 2012 12:04 AM PST The Space 65′ yacht is one of those designs that has instant appeal no matter your aesthetic taste. It’s easy to imagine lounging with friends beneath the variable-transparency glass dome or feeling the wind through your hair as you speed across the sea. It definitely has us itching for summer! The variable transparency glass is stratificated with liquid crystal films that are able to vary their polarization electrically. This allows the dome to be totally transparent (to enjoy a wonderful starry night), partially obscured (during the hot hours of the day) or completely obscured (to have maximum privacy in a port). All the spaces on this yacht have been designed to interlace between each other to create new, larger, innovative and interchangeable areas that double the usability of the interior/exterior livability. The huge variable transparency glass dome makes the salon the most luminous of the category. The dome also overlooks the lower-deck salon giving it an amazing sensation of depth and light. The huge glass aft door completely opens uniting the outer sunbed areas with the inside salon creating an enormous open space. Like the dome the main aft door is made entirely of variable transparency glass, this technology allows the door to become completely opaque, becoming a perfect "cinema" screen for the the guests on-board.

| Mobility for a Better Amsterdam Posted: 28 Feb 2012 12:03 AM PST Vincent Montreuil’s latest project, I Love Bikes at Amsterdam, is an incredibly thorough and equally imaginative proposal for transformation from Amsterdam’s current car and rail network into an ecological, economical system of personalized “pods” that better coexist with the city’s many bicycles and further enhance the quality of life in the city center. Hit the jump to catch a super-informative video breakdown! Designer: Vincent Montreuil - Related posts:     |
| Posted: 27 Feb 2012 11:53 AM PST The Lineær (sic) clock is like any standard wall clock except behind the minimalist facade is bevy of parts filled with symbolism. The time is written on a a rotating scroll. That represents that time is in perpetuity. The fixed hand symbolizes the present. There’s nothing fancy about it. No illumination or digital displays. It’s as quiet as time itself. Of course, if you’re one to find all this a bit too simplistic. Take heart in the fact that the face plates can be made in any/many colors.
