Rolling Down The Hill Posted: 21 Oct 2009 03:55 AM PDT eRinGo is predictably this rotund vehicle that can go from a one-wheel car to a three-wheeler, depending upon the deep curves you wish to take. The main central wheel balances the car while in motion, and its panels house the electric motors and other machinery of the car. The two-seater has two steering wheels, allowing either of the drivers to take control. Naturally when one steering is being used, the other gets locked. Two smaller-side wheels get deployed intuitively to stabilize the car when parking or hitting the curves. As a concept "Green" vehicle it looks neat in this round avatar, but will the design functionality actually work, we really can't predict. Designer: Mohammad Ghezel

This Traffic Light Is Always Green Posted: 21 Oct 2009 01:28 AM PDT Now here's a creative design that is not only Green, but also cost-effective. Solar Traffic Light has been designed to include Discolor LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, essentially hosting all the three colors of the lights within a single unit. Red, Amber and Green all together! The lights source power from the Solar Panel on top of the unit, which is elegantly designed as a hood. Quite Brilliant! Designers: Cheng-Tsung Feng, Yao-Chieh Lin & Bo-Jin Wang

Dogs and Cats on the Internet Posted: 21 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT This is a project about the future. The future of pets. Dogs and cats, mostly. It’s a harness. On this harness is a bunch of information: GPS location, vaccinations, and medical information. With these tidbits, enter the online experience: communication with fellow pet owners becomes a whole new level of creepy / excellent with realtime pet updates. The biggest benefit here, if you’re not the type to track your puppy’s every movement, is the registration information: alternate to a flat, destroyable tag, or the weird, embedded under skin chip. This thang comes right at the same time as that SenseCam deal that hangs around your neck and records your whole life. Think about your dog. Does your dog want that? Yes. Your dog wants that, because your dog loves you. Online connectivity and information exchange. GPS for location and retrieval. Vaccinations + other medical records. Is it… fashionable? Designer: Antoine Pagnoud

So My Fork Makes Me Feel Guilty Posted: 21 Oct 2009 12:00 AM PDT Statistics in books make me just totally fall asleep. What this projects aims to do is to add another page to the three dimensional world of awareness. “What if this kind of information crawled off the page and seeped into the products that surround us?” That’s what Nadeem Haidary aims to explore. The first image you’ll see is of a fork whose prongs each represent the calories each capita consumes. Frightening? As you can guess, the capita with the most calories has the prong most likely to pierce the food. The same is true with the plates that go with the forks in this set: the surface area of the plate relating directly to, again, the amount of calories per capita. This project is called “Caloric Consumption” and if someone tries to make me eat with it when I’m chomping down on some amazing crab legs, I’m totally just not gonna look at the fork and pretend the plate doesn’t have a starving country on it. After the meal I will contribute money to a charitable fund. Next time on Haidary’s extensive “In-Formed” project: Waste Production and Water Usage! Joy! Designer: Nadeem Haidary
