The Real Good Vibrations

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 04:00 AM PST

Girl, luxe pleasure toy maker JimmyJane done went the distance and upped the ante with their latest, the FORM 6. The female staff here at YD can attest to the, ah hem… intensity of these toys. The FORM 6 has an updated interface to make it easier for you to switch power levels and vibration patterns. Girl, they made it easier for you to get off. There’s a digital lock to prevent unwanted vibrations and the universal adapter now makes the FORM 6 travel friendly. You know you want one. I just might give one away. Say it and I will.

Designer: JimmyJane, Buy it here

New Kinda Spy Cam

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 03:53 AM PST

The Zipper is a flying indoor camera and recording device that can be used in a number of scenarios. The device uses the principle of gas balloons and combines it with the wit of propellers driven by a precision electric motor. Basically the hovering camera moves around a room very fast and silently and doesn't consume much energy.

Application fields:

  • Film productions: unrestricted camera work
  • Surveillance: flexible monitoring of public locations like department stores, train stations, etc.
  • Security: video inspection in hard to access places like cable chutes and sewers
  • Private: webcam, babysitting, etc. or as a toy
  • Further recording options (sound, heat and radio activity) are possible with the matching sensors

Two precision electric motors with propellers that are controlled via a processor allow horizontal movements. The alignment angle of the electric motors can also be controlled magnetically via the processor so that the Zipper is able to change its height flexibly and fast with these motors. The camera can be panned by 270 degrees, which allows different perspective also in standstill. Zipper can design recordings through different camera perspectives very dynamically and flexibly, which results in completely new possibilities in camera work. This means that the director can determine the motion path and speed of the camera beforehand three-dimensionally without having to deal with any restrictions or obstacles in the room. This allows novel and free design when changing scenes and perspectives. The motion path and speed can be set either beforehand in a 3D program or in realtime and interactively via joystick or remote control. The recorded images and further information are transmitted parallel, directly and wireless to other devices like computers or smartphones.

Function mode:

Zipper uses hydrogen as gas in order to float in the air like a balloon. The required gas quantity is controlled exactly via a processor using measurement and control technology so that the Zipper is always located at the desired height.

Water Electrolysis:

A charging station supplies the Zipper with energy and hydrogen. In doing so, water molecules are split into oxygen and hydrogen by means of electrolysis. The additionally generated oxygen is released into the air and ensures a good room climate. The charging station is supplied via low-voltage direct current and must only be refilled with water occasionally.

Zipper is a 2012 red dot award: design concept winner.

Everyday Is A Sun Day

The law of attraction states that whatever vibrations you send out, the universe reciprocates by sending back similar-vibration experiences. Which is why if you start your day with a bright new thought or a gifting smile, then your entire day goes ahead as planned and full of fun. The Sun Rising Lamp is an ode to this sentiment. Why wait for the New Year sunrise to make your resolutions? Look at the Sun Rising Lamp as your daily dose of insightful inspiration.

Material: MDF, Urushi Coating, LED Lamp

Flat Out Electronics

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 01:00 AM PST

Modern technology enables us to make some incredibly thin products, still big on features with a natural inclination towards minimalism. That’s the idea behind a series of products called Flatronics by designer Glen Liberman. The first group of products called Peg is inspired by the simple idea of tools hung on a nail peg. The second group of products called Silhouette is inspired by the striking outlines of an object, distilled to its most simplest and iconic form.

Designer: Glen Liberman

PEG

  • Flatlight – A keychain sized flashlight.
  • Flatsound – Inspired by a wall of records, the concentric rings of vinyl give this very simple speaker its form.
  • Flattime – The pendulum of a classic grandfather clock serves as inspiration to be the clock itself.

Silhoutte

  • Flatlight – A traditional round flashlight squished and flattened to mimic its most basic outlines.
  • Flatsound – A boombox is surprisingly devoid of almost any form other than a few lines.
  • Flattime – An altimeter inspires a very simple clock when you only look at its outlines.

Public bicycles made massively minimal

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 12:02 AM PST

The folks at multidisciplinary office AND-RÉ and the city of Vilamoura worked to create the project you’re seeing here – a lovely public bicycle project! This project is just the newest of a set of collaborations the city has done with the design group known as AND-RÉ and aims to continue their forward-thinking philosophy of “humanization of urban space” – this “returning the city to [the] people.”

The aim of this project was to develop a bike system that encapsulated “truly democratic equipment … requiring a great accuracy in ergonomic study and in the visual/formal language in order to achieve a unisex non-discriminatory product.” The bike itself represents a “debugged” design, as they call it, bringing light and purity to the overall system. Vintage at the same time as it is modern, made to serve the function alone – transportation for the city.

Designer: AND-RÉ

Your smartphone needs a baseball cap

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 12:02 AM PST

If you’ve got a smartphone with a headphone jack on the top and you need a bit more zazz, you really should check out the cuteness in the Line Cap. The folks at SUMNEEDS have brought on the “Line Cap”, part of a series of accessories called “Mobile Device is my friend.” It’s time to play dress-up!

The Line Cap acts both as a lovely little cap for your device and a “line winder.” A line winder is a keeper for your earbuds, winding the line up for safekeeping during the day – rather convenient! Keep your line in the cap, keep your cap on your phone – fun!

Snowboard wrist armor delight

Posted: 05 Nov 2012 12:01 AM PST

Designer Navik Lal presents a fabulous new look at the protection of the wrists of the hardcore snowboarder. This is Morph Armour, made to create a protective barrier around your wrist while you retain near-full mobility throughout your arms so you can continue to be the sports beast you know you can be. This solution takes on what Lal notes is one of the most common mishaps in the snowboarding world, making the 88% of the snowboarding population think twice about how much of a hinderance safety has to be.

Morph Armour is a wrist protection device – or pair of devices, if you’re wearing them on both arms, of course. With this armor you’ve got 2 splints with multiple segments joined by what Lal calls “living hinges.” This moving polyethylene splint is moulded to the contours of your arm for a personalized fit, with an 8 degree angle on the hinge point of 6 individual sections for an overall wrist movement range of a lovely 96 degrees.

Each of the units is affixed to your arm with an 8 point lace system so it’s not going to slip off while you’re burning up the slopes, and a removable neoprene insert works to give you extended comfort through cushioning. This unit is still currently in its conceptual phases but very well may be a real live product sooner than later!
