Combine the urban security suit with the augmented reality mask and you get the future outfit of pro-tennis. A recent Lacoste ad, celebrating the 75th anniversary of the brand, shows a player dressed in a ridiculous garment, playing tennis in a fictional, digitally-enhanced room. The racket has robotic features and assembles itself right out of the bag. The walls measure the speed of your slice and even returns the ball to the player.  Seems pretty intense for a tennis game but I’d be willing to... Continue reading

Toasters aren’t merely an appliance to be used as your own discretion for the sole purpose of toasting your bread. Toasters are more like an introverted roommate who not only makes your breakfast but also has a sleek sense of style. PC Magazine has written a 10 Tantalizing Toaster Concepts list that features a variety of toasters with bizarre looks; even some with multi-functional use. They even have a wall mounted toaster which looks like a hamburger phone. Click on... Continue reading

Victor Vetterlein has designed a vision of what conceptual homes of the future will look like. I am easily reminded of the bizarre looking “arcologies” you could build in SimCity 2000. Dubbed “Reboot,” the futuristic living-space is supposed to be a self-sufficient and environment friendly take on everyday living. Everything about its interior is digitally controlled and designed to be operated by voice activated sensors, touch pad and remote controls a la mobile phone or computer. Anyone old enough to...

In the year 2154, biometrics might be so advanced that they will be able to tell us how long we have left to live based on data retrieved from our bodies. Or at least that’s the type of technological advancement that the creator of the Life Index is hoping for in the future. Envisioned by One & Co for the Timex 2154 competition, the Life Index is worn like a nicotine patch that acquires biometric feedback from the skin, including... Continue reading

If you were to get your hands on a Flux Capacitor and traveled to the year 2014, Marty McFly style, you might see some gadgets that will blow your mind. The Ori-ori-Moshi-moshi device (that name might be hell on its marketing) is a conceptual multimedia device made of a semi-flexible OLED display, which uses an origami-like form factor for pure awesomeness. Just like many dream gadgets from the future, the Ori-ori-Moshi-moshi from AntennaDesign consolidates about every electronic function under the... Continue reading

Google never ceases to amaze with their annual April Fool’s antics, and this year, the search giant brings the joke right to their main search page on their Australian domain. Launching a new “service” called gDay, which shows you tommorows search results, before they happen. We’re sure this will come in handy for those who play the lottery or gamble their savings away at the tracks. It’ll also be fun to use as a spoiler the evening before election day....

This type of technology is probably a good many years away, but what would it change in the world of photography? Imagine a camera featuring a huge array of sensors which use stereo photography to create a picture perfect depth-of-field, which you don’t need a forklift to carry around with you. This is what Stanford researchers have unveiled as a project in progress. Of course, a technology such as this always raises more questions than it answers. How will the... Continue reading

[ev type="youtube" data="HrzeiUvDZog"][/ev] The video above is what our lives might very well look like in the coming years. But than again, look how wrong we were in 1900. Though this does seem a little more likely then a weather changing machine. — Andrew Dobrow Link
