Eggcellent Electric Vehicle

Posted: 04 May 2012 09:34 AM PDT

The City Egg by Tomasz Mikrut is a car-share concept designed to make getting around the city a cinch. The compact vehicle accommodates a single passenger enclosed in a 3-dimensional oval. Though it’s small, the natural egg shape supports weight evenly and minimizes stress and strain on the structure, making it as strong as it is cute!

Reader + Phone = ePhone

Posted: 04 May 2012 04:12 AM PDT

While we don't use a tablet or e-reader as a phone, many of us rely on our smartphones to catch up on reading articles and news. The Floater is concept that aims to bridge this divide and offer a solution where compact forms expand to host bigger displays. In its folded avatar the device is a capable phone but when you double the display, it folds out to becoming an elegant eBook reader.

Features:

  • When unfolded the device has features of e-book with 6.0 inches LCD similar to kindle.
  • When folded it has features of smart phone with 4.6 inches LCD.
  • Transparent 4.4 inches LCD in the middle of the devices are actively supported the various software such as Augmented Reality.
  • Charges when the main body is standing on the cradle.

Dimensions: W60xD13xH120 (mm)
Specs: Plastic, White

The Value of Pee

Posted: 04 May 2012 03:47 AM PDT

GP Toilet is a pathology-enabled toilet system that analyzes your urine and gives you a detailed diagnostic report on it. It works pretty simple, when you need an analysis done; a nozzle sprouts out and takes samples while you do your job. A quick investigation and the reports are displayed onto the integrated screen. I see the value of such toilet bowls in hospitals and homes where frequent monitoring is required on a weekly, if not daily basis.

A non-invasive and unobtrusive design as this is more appealing for patients who have to deal with repeated testing. My only concern is the integrated display; a suitable refinement will be if there is a system where the results can be synced to the mobile phone or a computer. What do you think?

Shave With Your Fingers

Posted: 04 May 2012 12:01 AM PDT

The Embrace electric shaver is unlike any you’ve seen before. The ergonomic design positions itself in the users hand to create tactile feedback and enhanced pressure sensitivity, decreasing the overall negative impact repeated shaving has on the skin. An adjustable sensor also measures the smoothness of the area so the perfect shave is achieved each time.

Not Your Average Wheelchair

Posted: 04 May 2012 12:01 AM PDT

Parafree is a sleek, minimalist wheelchair that offers a functional, stylish & sporty solution for paraplegics looking for a little extra workout throughout the day. The unique frame structure was designed to compel the paralyzed user to maintain constant balance, encouraging abdominal, back & core muscle training. The interaction of arms & core muscles leads to an upright position & helps reduce orthopedic damage.The Paracore-Element copies the three-dimensional movements of human discogenics. This allows a wider range of interactions. Different designs allow for the foamy element to be covered over with benefits like companion-handlebar, optional back lean or even a small luggage rack.
