Wearable Universal Remote Controls - The Multi-Chalk

Tobi Kim invented the Multi-Chalk which is a universal remote control that can control everything, everywhere!

"It’s a soft electronic device designed to slip on anything with a button," notes Yanko Design. "It can be designed to compliment your outfit and style. With a little simple programming, just about anything can be controlled from it by turning the disk in various directions. Just be smart and don’t use it during a big football game. The guy with the colorful button is always the target."

That is some out-of-the-box concept. A remote control not just for everything but for everywhere! More pictures after the jump.

Storage Cabinet Glows in the Dark-Sotirios Papadopoulos's Full Moon

Sotirios Papadopoulos designed this Fullmoon cabinet for ENNEZERO using ecologically-friendly paint. The Fullmoon glows in the dark and in that sense, as far as I am concerned, this is a creation that has the dual function of being a storage piece of furniture and a work with artistic value. There aren’t too many cabinets out there that glow in the dark. The Fullmoon will be on display at the SOHO temporary gallery in Milan during the “dEMOsign” exhibition April 18-20, 2008.

Holographic Touch Screen Personal Computer Concept-The Cup PC

In the future, the usage of computer will be more intuitive and simple than now. People will not need to learn how to use PC and the computer system will have effect on behaviours of user's everyday conduct, like using a cup.

The concept 'The Cup' is inspired by people's common behaviours in everywhere and every moment. Especially, usage of cup is one of the most general and daily behaviour. In offices, home, even at shops, we can see and use them.

Through the observation of actions such as collecting cups, putting on the desk them, and pouring water into cups, we will suggest an innovate way of dealing information and data in our future.

‘The Cup’ is based on high technology such as holographic touch screen and infrared communication skill. It means that everybody can access computer without connection device such as USB and interaction, store and check the information by only physical behaviours (grapping, filing up and pouring, etc)
This way is intuitive method to be distinguished other previous operation and the strongest thing of this new PC is that anyone can access state of the art PC via analogue object and behaviour.

A Nokia Cell Phone That Changes Shape

A cell phone that stretches and basically changes shape when you need it to. The idea behind Nokia’s futuristic concept is nanotechnology. Nanotech would give this cell phone the ability to morph into a shape that satisfies the user’s needs. The electronics inside the phone would be transparent and flexible as well and this phone would also be able to clean itself. This exciting technology, however, is right now a thing of science fiction novellas and geeks’ daydreams. This prototype was developed with some assistance from Cambridge University and is on display at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
