| Posted: 15 Aug 2008 02:34 AM CDT I didn't think an iPhone could get pimped up any further, how wrong was I? What we have here is a "modding" option for the iPhone. Modding is replacing the back-side of the iPhone and replacing it with a back that adds the apple to glow, creating a similarity between the mac and the iPhone. Made in Russia, I sure hope that this awesome option is available for purchase in the western world sometime soon. [ Via: iNews ]        |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2008 02:34 PM CDT Living in areas earmarked by nature with seasonal floods is no cakewalk. But with The Wall for Flood Control concept, it can be! It requires no manual operation or power source. It uses the buoyant force of water to deploy. As water levels increase, the wall retracts up forming a barrier. Conversely when the water level drops, the wall too lowers into a platform for pedestrians. Designer: Ho-Hyeok Lee The safe-lock prevents to move each partition separately, when the wall is used against flooding. If you need to use each partition, the safe-lock has to be unlocked. When it’s unlocked, the green light comes up which means the safe-lock was unlocked. The red light shows us that it is locked.        |
| Posted: 14 Aug 2008 02:20 PM CDT The LUPE may look like another touchscreen camera but this concept is designed for ease of use and simplicity even tho technically it’s quite complex. Thru a series of transparent touchscreens and optical quality glass lenses, the LUPE magnifies images near and far for almost macro like quality. The focusing mechanism is quite ingenious. Just touch what you want in focus and the camera handles everything else. Although there’s no mention of traditional mechanisms like shutters and apertures, the LUPE was designed to work without having to think about it. As if looking thru a window you make with your hands, you just focus in on what you want and a snapshot is taken. Simple as that. Designer: Seoghwan Choi Texts from the designer regards to the idea: The understanding of photograph has been changed from a visual-based recording tool for a special moment to an every day life good as its technology has been progressed from the film-based to the digital image-based. As we have been doing so in our every day life, how about taking a picture like observing my daily life with a magnifying glass? The magnifying glass is my metaphoric approach in designing new digital camera. It can be used like the magnifying glass; your observing activities towards things with the magnifier becomes new way of taking photographs in this digital era.

| Posted: 14 Aug 2008 02:19 PM CDT Who says I can’t play with my electronics! Move To The Radio shoves a radio inside a traditional wood block car toy. The volume is controlled by the wheels so if you want to turn it up, you gotta push the car along, purse your lips, and make the VROOM VROOM sound! Okay that last bit is optional but if you’re gonna play, go all the way. Designer: Sang-Hoon Lee [ Via: Designzen ]        |
