Puzzling Smartwatch Apps

Posted: 17 May 2013 10:13 AM PDT

These perplexing time apps were created for the much-raved about I’m Watch smartwatch, and transform the basic resting face of the device into the time-telling puzzle of your choice. No ticking hands, no big numbers… hit the jump to see if you can figure out each without reading how to decipher them!

Tritime – uses twelve color triangles to represent hours and twelve smaller triangles to represent 5 minute sections.

Timenine – hours are shown in big color numbers while minutes are displayed in 6 groups of 9 dots, each dot representing a single minute — after 10 minutes the group transforms into a single square — after 30 minutes a long rectangle is formed.

Timegrid – surprisingly fast, simple time reading is made possible by graphing hours in a rectangle that grows as time goes by — minutes are shown in the middle of the board grid

Flipboarding

Love this GIF-TY polaroid camera for capturing ‘movements’ and making them tangible. This unique camera allows you to print out short flipbook animations, so that you can physically keep the memories of precious moments alive in a fun way. GIF-TY’s Animations can be physically edited, and clipped on a separately designed module. Nametags can be attached to those clips just like old videotapes.

Technologically: GIF-TY is a combination of a burst-shot camera, and a ‘Zero-Ink’ Printer.

Portable Printable Wallpapers!

The Portable Freenter has the potential to be a game-changer in the world of wallpapers. Imagine using a device that directly prints your desired wallpaper pattern onto the wall. You get the liberty of choosing different kinds of fonts and also draw a picture and put texts, colors or sizes of your choice. You can input the selections via a pen or through a keyboard. Get creative, people!

Great Balls of Rubber!

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

CYQL is a one-of-kind ottoman composed almost entirely of recycled bicycle inner tubes. Kinda like a rubber-band ball, each ottoman is wrapped in tubes of different sizes, textures, colors, and prints, giving each an individual character and unique history! The rubber itself is ideal for reusing not only because of it’s inability to disintegrate back into the environment, but because of its material qualities of being stain/water-proof, elastic, and patina over time.

The Neck Saver – Part Deux

Posted: 17 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

About a year ago, we featured Rob Bye’s Stretchless Hanger, and now he’s back with version 2.0! Like the original, the design aims to speed up the process of hanging clothes without damaging or stretching the material. But after taking your feedback into consideration, the new and improved version is more rigid, structurally sound, and just as easy to use. Which one do you like better?!
