Parrot AR.Drone

Parrot AR.Drone lets you see what the pilot sees.
With its built-in Wi-Fi system, you can control the Parrot AR.Drone using the built-in accelerometer in your iPhone®, iPod touch®, or iPad® device. On-board cameras (one forward facing, one facing down) let you see in realtime what the pilot sees as you complete complex flight maneuvers.

Augmented reality turns the world around you into a video game.
Chase a fighter jet through your house or battle other Parrot AR.Drone copters. Powerful processing lets the AR.Drone integrate computer generated images directly into its realtime streaming video to create an augmented reality gaming environment complete with air-to-air missiles, interactive targeting systems, and fiery explosions.

No ordinary RC helicopter, the Parrot AR.Drone uses military-grade technology for super-stable flight.
This four-rotor quadricopter employs dual ultrasonic altimeters, a three-axis accelerometer, multiple gyroscopes, and an embedded Linux platform to continuously stabilize itself during flight. AR.Drone can even compensate for turbulence caused by wind. In fact, it’s so easy to control, anyone can fly it.

At home indoors or out.
Fly your Parrot AR.Drone anywhere you like. The included indoor hull protects the rotors during tight maneuvering around walls and furniture then removes easily to minimize weight and wind resistance during outdoor flights. Copter is made of carbon fiber and high-resistance plastic. Rechargeable LiPo batteries are included.

The Aeolus Phone

The Aeolus Phone concept by industrial designer Cyrene Quiamco has been created to reduce the burden on the grid and allow users to charge their devices anywhere at any time. The concept uses renewable energy such as wind power and solar power to charge its onboard battery.

The device is equipped with a power generating fan that will capture even the slightest breeze to produce energy. When the wind isn’t blowing, the phone uses onboard solar panels to recharge the battery.

The device features a simple, single color and an energy-efficient LCD screen. The designer claims that the device can be built from renewable materials. The Aeolus can also be attached to a bicycle or on the window of a car with a special tripod to help the fan generate more energy.

Solar eclipse-inspired lighting

The “Nissyoku” by from Igendesign is an elegant lamp that draws inspiration from a solar eclipse to glow up your interiors in a unique way. The metal ring in the middle helps you turn ON/OFF the lamp. Integrating two panels fixed with magnets when moved on the concave surface made out of the intersection of the two globes creates a unique ambiance. Through the vacuum forming, the lamp makes use of a 5W high-powered LED in each panel. Hang it like the chandelier, place it on the table or use it as a wall lamp, it actually creates the unique ambiance.

Undersea superyacht

Italian designers Marina Colombo and Sebastian Vida have unveiled the 66.5 meter ‘Undersea Yacht U-101’ concept, conceived as the first superyacht to combine underwater exploration with all the comfort and style of a modern superyacht.

Still at the design stage, this cruise yacht can double up as a submarine. The U-010 Undersea Yacht will showcase a departure from the general notion of a cold and cramped military craft. The yacht is designed as a new and luxurious way to experience life beneath the seas, as stated by the designers.

The new luxury submersible yacht will be equipped with a relaxation parlor, sauna, lounge bar and vast spiral staircase. The interior of the yacht would cover a surface area of more than 700 square meters.

The construction of this pleasure submarine poses a lot of engineering challenges, as it should be built of composites, carbon fiber and aerospace alloys, which will involve enormous cost.

Zeta - EcoSmart Fire

Stylish and striking, the Zeta fireplace is nothing if not original. Designed by John Dimopoulos, director of Geoform, Design & Architects Firm in Sydney. The EcoSmart Zeta fireplace is so-named because of its elliptical shape and pays homage to its Greek ‘origins’.

A clever fusion of timber, leather and stainless steel, the portable Zeta fireplace sits on a brushed or polished stainless steel swivel base. The plywood body of the fire is shaped from a high frequency heated aluminium mold into the perfect elliptical shape. A ventless stainless steel firebox insert is moulded to the internal face of the plywood, and the outer surface is upholstered in leather. The toughened glass screens that sit either side of the fire enhance the stunning visual effect created by the flame.

The Zeta fireplace is available in different leather colours including Ciocolatta, Nero, Ranch Hide and Latte.

Like all other EcoSmart Fireplaces, the Zeta is fueled by denatured ethanol, an environmentally friendly, renewable biofuel.

Plant Powered Living Air Filter

Plants are known to be nature's natural air purifiers for removing airborne contaminants, toxins and other harmful indoor irritants, but it's the 21st century now. I think we could be pushing these potted plant air purification technologies even further!

The cool new Bel-Air - Plant Powered Living Air Filter is a mini mobile greenhouse concept by French designer Mathieu Lehanneur in collaboration with David Edwards of Harvard University. Based on actual NASA research, they invented a truly unique device that draws indoor polluted air in through a fan, into a pyrex pod that houses a potted plant like a gerbera, philodendron, spathiophyllum, pathos or chlorophytum and forces it through the three main natural filters of the leaves, the roots, and the humidity before releasing it back out as purified air. Your regular old decorative house or office plant does this already, but it's capable of handling and processing much more and this unit really helps to accelerate that process along.

It's a cool idea and I really love the futuristic modern design, but I hope in future models they implement solar-powered fans since the plant is going to need sunlight anyways. It's an interesting start and best of all, you'll never need to replace any expensive air filters again!

Ceramic Speaker Modules

Music comes in different form! If you’re wondering why I said this then you gotta check out the cool new Ceramic Speaker Module by Chinese designers, Chi Tat Chiu and Sungchul Yang.

Depending on your choice you can stack em’ together to look like one speaker or place each one individually. You can also rotate each part let the sound spread all over!

Designed by Hong Kong-based designer Mike Mak.

Alien Hunt Alarm Clock

Sometimes it can take a lot to wake up. Hey you're tired out from all those late night FPS shooters, WOW sessions, Tweets and Facebook updates. But probably if you were trapped on an alien spacecraft with evil facehuggers plotting to implant alien embryos inside your body to later grow to maturity and burst from your chest... waking up would be easy. The Alien Hunt Alarm Clock tries to simulate these conditions in an effort to rouse you so you can get to work and not lose your job.

The greenish egg on the top of this clock may look innocent until it's time to wake up. When the alarm goes off a alien pops out of the egg with flashing red eyes and beings laughing evilly at you. Pick up the included laser pistol from your bedside table and blast the Alien into oblivion to shut it up. Hopefully by this time the adrenaline generated from possible alien extermination has roused you sufficiently to get in the shower.
