Power Shorts: Shake Your Bon Bons for Power

By Hazel Chua on 06/17/13 • Leave a comment!

Power Shorts

Is your phone running low on power? That should be no problem if you’re wearing shorts with the Power Pocket, because all you’ll have to do to charge up your phone is shake your booty. Clearly it’s not the easiest or most practical way to charge your battery, but it’s probably one of the funnest, especially if you’re in the right place, with the right people.

The shorts were created by Vodafone with the help of researchers from the University of Southampton. They were unveiled to attendees of UK’s Isle of Wight music fest, who I’m sure had a blast trying it out.

Concept Coca-Cola Can: Share Happiness…Literally

Concept Coke

Coca-Cola is all about sharing happiness. So why don’t they turn these concept Coke cans into a reality to make that slogan applicable on a more literal note?

Ad agency Ogilvy & Mather Singapore originally came up with the idea of these two-part soda cans that can be twisted and separated into two. That way, you can keep one half for yourself and share the other with your best mate. The cans are currently being handed out by the “Happiness Trucks” that are making the rounds in Singapore, although they’re probably limited promotional cans which won’t be sold commercially.

Dry Hands Lets You Wash Then Dry Your Hands At Once For Added Convenience

Dry Hand

Washing your hands in a public place is usually a two-step process. The first is the actual handwashing proess itself, while the second involves either a paper towel or an electronic hand dryer to dry your hands up. Combining both and turning this everyday task into a one-step action is the Dry Hand, which is a faucet and dryer in one.

+4.5 Paper Cup is a Cup and Stirrer in One

Paper Cup with Stirrer

While there are an assortment of portable canteens and cups available that let you have a drink or sip your Joe on the go, none can provide you with the dual functionality of the +4.5 Paper Cup. At first glance, it looks just like a typical paper cup with a handle attached to it. But look closer and you’ll see that there’s more to that handle than meets the eye.

Aside from functioning as a handle, it also has a stiff tearable portion that functions as a stirrer. This way, you’ll be able to prepare drinks with the added convenience of having almost everything you need in one paper cup.

90 Degree Adapter Bends to Fit Into Tight Corners

By Hazel Chua on 05/03/13 • Leave a comment!

90 Degree Adapter

One of the most common reasons why headphones stop working is a busted plug. Most people don’t get those wire clips or organizers, so they end up winding the headphone wire around the music player before tucking it into their purse, bag, or jeans jacket. With enough winding and usage, the plug eventually wears out and breaks, causing a disconnect.

Tackling this head-on is Mohammad Reza Navaei with his design that’s aptly called the 90 Degree Adaptor.

GoScan3D

3D printing is all the rage these days. There’s no shortage of 3D printers on the market, but there are limited choices when it comes to 3D scanners. One is the Photon scanner, which generated a lot of buzz a few weeks ago and is currently up for funding on Indiegogo. Then there’s the GO!Scan 3D, which is basically a 3D scanning gun.

Manufacturer Creaform boasts that it can provide the ‘easiest portable 3D scanning experience’ with it being a point-and-shoot and all. The GO!Scan weighs 2.4 pounds, so it’s lighter than most scanners out there and makes it the most portable of its kind. Since it easily fits into a carry-on case, you can take it with you to scan stuff on the go.

If you haven’t gotten used to your keyboard’s configuration by this time, then I doubt you ever will. It’s in cases like these where concepts like the Puzzle Keyboard will come in handy.

Hand-Woven Room Dividers: Now You Can See Through Walls–Well, Sort Of

By Hazel Chua on 02/20/13 • Leave a comment!

Hand Woven Walls

When you think of walls, you think of concrete or wood-paneled structures that divide a certain space into different rooms. I guess you could say that those are walls of the conventional kind, because there’s a different kind on the rise, although I wouldn’t go so far to say that they’re “new”, given that, well, they’re not.

These hand-woven walls by Dutch designer Wies Preijde are walls in every sense of the word–except for the solid part.

‘Loading…’ Watch Concept Makes You Infinitely Wait For Time

By Hazel Chua on 01/25/13 • Leave a comment!

The ‘Loading…’ watch concept is definitely one of the most interesting ones that I’ve seen lately. It pays homage to the screen that gamers often find themselves faced with when loading up their video game of choice. It also looks like the progress bar of computers back when screens only came in black and white and it took close to a few minutes to get the system all booted up.

And now, thanks to Max, this load screen could be featured on your next watch. That is, if Tokyo Flash ever decides to go with the design and turn the concept into a reality.
