Futuristic Handled Console by Mario Troise

Mario Troise welcomes you to the future of handled gaming. Troise has designed a one screen Nintendo DS concept that seems to be really fantastic and incredible, because it would have almost everything. The concept is very similar to the current Nintendo DS in many respects. The DS would be 3D, it would have 2 motion sensing cameras and GPS. One of the cameras is placed on the front and the other one on the back. The cameras can track the movements of the players in such a way that they can interact with the games through their facial expression or hands.








However, the DS also has mechanical buttons – beautiful and functional

The iPad Clamshell Notebook

Experiments with non-standard use of iPad tablet computer go on. Do you remember the quite doubtful modding - the 25-year old Macintosh with tablet computer casing? This time the idea is similar, however the “envelope” is a bit fresher – this is the iBook G3 “Clamshell” notebook that had quite an unusual rounded case for its 2001 year of manufacture and thus entered the history of portable computers.
The iBook G3 was based on the PowerPC processor with frequency of 300-466 MHz, that in modern times turns computer into a stylish typewriter. Perhaps that is why an unknown moder decided to renovate the device’s configuration.
As the result the iPad Clamshell notebook appeared. The device has a touch screen (formerly known as iPad tablet computer) and new keyboard that is connected with the tablet by Bluetooth protocol. In general, modding can be considered quite successful, however, it has one and quite a sad minus – the notebook cannot be closed – there is a high risk to damage the screen.

Blood Pressure Monitor For Blind and Visually Impaired People

For a blind person many simple things seem to be impossible, even such a simple procedure as measurement of blood pressure. Due to this fantastic blood pressure monitor blind and visually impaired people get the great possibility to make health checks independently. The secret of the device is quite simple – the device features an integrated measurements system that first measures the blood pressure very accurately and then different bumps that are triggered by a microcomputer appear on the surface of the device, thus a blind person can “read” the figures using the Braille. The device is very comfortable to use, because it is made out of soft material due to which the monitor can be easily strapped around the wrist. This device will definitely improve quality of life of blind and visually impaired people, because it will help a person depraved of vision to check health on his or her own.

Cute Analog Watch from a Spanish Designer

Most people are convinced that only TokyoFlash company invents most fantastic watches, however, this is whong.

Solar-Powered Toy Cosmos

The Eames Lounge Chair is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful pieces of furniture ever designed. But as shown by this lovely photo of his "do nothing machine," Charles Eames was as much a tinkerer as a designer.



Charles and his wife Ray Eames' furniture and architecture helped define mid-century American design. But they were also tireless tinkerers and inventors, perpetually dreaming up new devices and experimenting with new materials.

In the above photograph from 1958 Charles Eames is shown with his Do Nothing machine, an early solar-powered toy that had an array of bright, moving pieces but no apparent function. In a time when toys were expected to teach something or develop some skill, Eames had a more meditative aim. "It is not supposed to do. It is supposed to be. It's whole function is in its being," he said of the toy.

Later, reflecting on the toy, he said, "we now have a moment in time which is very precious; but this is valid only if the toy does nothing." It seems to me that the photo above—the toy whirring and Eames looking hopefully to the sun—does a fine job of capturing that precious moment.
