Pure and Light Wheels

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 09:06 AM PDT

The Pure Light is a concept vehicle for the elite in China, especially aimed for cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong, where people can appreciate luxury. Inspired by Taoism, this 4-seater car uses superconducting magnetic levitation technology. The levitating feel and fluid form deceive you into thinking that you are gliding in space. It also uses light as a calming element and hologram technology. Simply elegant!

Digital Data Printer

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 12:01 AM PDT

While digital technology has made it possible to share books, music, magazines and other media on super-compact devices like phones and tablets, there’s still a certain something lacking by not being able to hand over a tangible representation of what you’d like to share. Oksu is a digital data printer concept taps into this level of sharing by making it possible to instantly “print” a tangible copy of a song, article, link or file that can be physically shared between individuals. Hit the jump to see just how it works!

No ink cartridge needed! The printer uses Z-Ink technology, where color pigments are already within the paper and only need to be activated. Also, NFC chip technology makes it possible to open the contents of the printed card simply by placing it on the device the user wishes to load it on.

Avant-garde Guitar Tuning

Posted: 10 Jul 2012 12:01 AM PDT

Because guitars must be tuned each time before being played, designer Hans Kim felt this should be an emotional and more interactive experience than the one offered by current digital display tuners. In his design, the interaction consists of spinning the dial on the ‘open’ end of the tuner to choose the note the user wants to tune. The tuner then wobbles left or right depending on the accuracy of the note played, with 90 degrees being perfectly in tune. Once the interaction is complete, the tuner lies flat on the floating base as if to say “I’m not listening anymore”.
