Everything but the TuTu

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 10:33 AM PST

Who knew that with the introduction of gaming systems like Wii and XBox Kinect that the stereotype of lazy, couch-potato gamers would fade and be replaced with modern, home-fitness freaks?! This smart-app, called Pas de Ballet, is a great example of how interactive gaming systems can be used as supplemental training in a variety of sports and other physical activities. Using Kinect’s motion-sensing technology, it helps ambitious users perfect their skills even when a coach isn’t available. Check out the vid to see it in action!

Guessing Game # 15

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 10:27 AM PST

What is this? Hair…maybe, but definitely not on your face! I am in a Christmassy-giving mood already, so this much hint will suffice.

YD regulars, you know the rules…new folks – this is just a fun game where you have to guess what the product is by looking at this preview. Details are inside. No prizes for guessing but just loads of admiration and love!

Thabto Moustache Door Mat is a quality natural coir doormat. It is sure to add a ‘tache’ of character to your doorstep. Real gentlemen (& of course ladies) wipe their feet before entering any decent establishment. What better way to do so than on these wonderful whiskers?

Designer: John Caswell [ Available @ YD Store for $39.00 ]

Steaming Up Foul Language

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 06:40 AM PST

It's almost impossible to monitor the kind of abusive and foul language kids use in online chatrooms these days. So when the analogy of difference in temperatures steaming up a window was explored, designers Kim Hyerim, Chang Hanearl & Kim Junhoe came up with the Steamy Window application. The system basically auto-detects abusive and foul language used during chats and steams up the user's display window. With children finding innovative ways to crack the parental-control code on computers, this should work out as a good solution. What do you say?

Steamy Window is a 2012 red dot award: design concept entry.

Designers: Kim Hyerim, Chang Hanearl & Kim Junhoe

Clustered Lighting

Posted: 06 Dec 2012 12:10 AM PST

Though at first glance it looks like a singular unit, the Square Bell hanging pendant is actually 5 lamps in 1. Smaller, pyramid-shaped shades surround a larger central shade, creating a functional cluster that is at once united and separate. The unique placement and angle of each individual shade casts expansive directional illumination, making it an ideal choice for lighting larger spaces.

The first in a series of audio products that take aim at design-conscious female consumers, Stellé’s new Pillar speaker combines tech and fashion-sense in a seamless portable music capsule. Embodying the idea of functional decor, the bold yet simple silhouette makes an elegant accessory from room to room while providing crystal-clear audio that streams directly from any Bluetooth devices within 50 feet. In anodized brushed aluminum, matte black,  high gloss white, or wood veneer, there’s a style for every aesthetic taste.
