| Posted: 22 Apr 2011 08:47 AM PDT It’s easier than ever to produce professional looking photographs. Some mobile phones can produce stunning results but ask any professional photographer and they’d say people are diving into the prosumer market without understanding key fundamentals like framing and composition. The SLOW concept turns your mobile phone into a camera that gives you control over three built-in lenses; fixed, macro and fisheye. Frame your composition and push the shutter. This is how it works:

| Posted: 22 Apr 2011 08:40 AM PDT R Battery has three slots to hold AA and AAA batteries that are past their prime and into the graveyard. Near-dead batteries do have some charge in them and the good ole’ R here uses their juice to spike up as one big cell. I'm not sure of the dimensions of this new big battery, but I see where this project is going and with a few revisions, I'm sure it will be a winner. Designer: Wang Shuo ----------     |
| Technology for the God Fearing Posted: 22 Apr 2011 08:39 AM PDT TextBase is a device that produces scripture from the Christian bible depending on how you interact with it. It introduces a new way to engage with the word of God in a playful yet meaningful manner. When the user sends a text, keywords or themes are sniffed out by textBase and through the magical powers of the interwebs, an appropriate verse is printed. Regardless of your spiritual beliefs, I find it intriguing to see technology integrated into faith based communities. Designer: Blair Fraser ----------     |
| Cars of the Future? Three Wheels Posted: 22 Apr 2011 08:34 AM PDT Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe and has been an important intersection between Eastern and Western Europe. It was named the “City of the Future in Southern Europe” by the Financial Times for their forward thinking. It’s been awhile since we’ve featured a “far-out” automotive concept and right now… I’m loving the Supersonic. We’ve seen this stealthy shape before. In fact, artists in the 20′s-30′s envisioned a future where automobiles borrowed heavily from the railroad and airline industries. It never panned out but to see that style revisited reignited my desire to see – drive something totally different. The cockpit is totally driver oriented. The car gets its power from 2 electric motors in the rear wheels. The front has a single wheel. Aside from the usual accoutrements like LEDs and Xenon headlights, the Supersonic has removable batteries. Instead of forcing people to install expensive charging stations in their garages, the batteries are compact enough to take with you indoors – charge wherever you like. My favorite feature? The photo sensitive liquid crystal canopy. It darkens and lightens for privacy and to control cabin temperatures. Designer: Marko Lukovic ----------     |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2011 12:02 AM PDT If the Transformers Autobots could add a yacht to their crew, chances are it would look like something like this. The Epiphany has all of the amenities of a well-bred luxury yacht and the seductive styling of a sexy club, however, it’s paramount feature is the ability to instantly transform from streamlined speed demon to titillating pleasure boat… A hidden anchor is located at the bow on the other side of the triangle cuts. After the yacht has been stationed in a cove or at the dock, the transformation starts with the large deck area that slides apart to reveal more deck space and seating as well as a central hot tub. A perfect multilevel entertaining space. The back of the yacht features a superstructure with an impressive glass sunroof that slides open 16 feet giving the stern area plenty of sun. Beyond the sunroof is a grand stairway leading down to a water-level deck. The interior sports a master suite with private water level decks that have water access. Glass doors allow the deck to remain lowered throughout the time the yacht is anchored. With a guest suite and 2 guest rooms there is ample room to accommodate friends. Beneath a spiral staircase that connects the main deck with the helm are the crew and captain’s quarters. A living room, formal dining room, and internal storage area for jet skis complete the Epiphany’s polished interior. Designers: Caan Yaylali, John Guarino, and Nathan Gendotti ----------     |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT I’m totally turned of by psychics but I’ll confess – I’m a big fan of magic 8 balls & fortune cookies, – mostly for the amusement factor & their overall simplicity. Designer: Adam Huntington ----------     |
| Posted: 22 Apr 2011 12:01 AM PDT Federico Churba’s Hanoi lamp acquires it’s volume from the complex bending of a single sheet of PMMA (an economical and BPA-free alternative to polycarbonate). The shade which resembles the traditional conical asian hat, and footed base together appear to make a bow of greeting, while the downward diffused light creates a warm and cozy glow that adds to it’s overall elegance.

The Elymas table works much in the same way, functioning as both a nifty side table & friendly fortune-teller. The user simply turns the dial to a desired category, presses the button, & receives a small piece of paper with a brief prophecy on it. The only requirement: a minute of contemplation. – Outlook Good.
