Frances Gomes’ Dry Lake Racer is a modern take on the classic stock car; it’s basically a tubular chassis with central shocks and pivot arms around a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
The EDAG bakes innovation right into its OLED skin, which displays lights and turn signals; the rear displays braking strength, road hazards and virtual middle fingers to trailing drivers.
Iskender Asanliev’s ON AIR watch is a genius blend of analog and digital; the red LED’s position shows the hour, but is itself made up of numbers which indicate the minutes.
Designed to wow the European market, the Infiniti Essence has done much more; gorgeous lines inside and out hide a twin-turbo 3.7L V6 and electric drivetrain with 592 brake hp.
Created in part thanks to input from WePC.com, the Asus Dual-Screen Laptop may be a work in progress but is plenty tantalizing; the keyboard is replaced entirely with a second display.
Flying cars seem like the ultimate in vaporware, and Kazim Doku’s Audi Shark concept makes the wait even more painful; it may be claustrophobic but we’d love one of these in our driveway.
Mac Funamizu’s necklace-like Sign Language Translator is actually a tiny camera with twist-open speaker that will recognize hand gestures and speak them back in the voice of your choice.
Short for Tetris and arm wrestling, “Tresling” slightly mans up the classic puzzler; movement is accomplished by overpowering your opponent while an extra button rotates pieces.
It’s not quite R2D2’s holographic projector, but The Astonishing Tribe’s 3D Eyetracking UI uses active eyetracking and the cellphone’s orientation to simulate depth in real time.
While RollOclock’s linearly creeping display of time isn’t the most efficient use of space, Aleksey Belyalov’s concept offers an artsy alternative to round analog and digital displays.
Cellphones with minimal features tend to get short shrift design-wise, but this Sony Simplicity concept is lustworthy with its wrap-around display; it has no SMS, camera, or email.
No, it’s not chain mail for your man boobs: the BraDryer is a gadget for ladies who worry about ruining their bra’s wiring or padding in a conventional dryer; it’ll be available in 2010.
Launched along with Citroen’s DS Inside hatchback concept, DS Lifestyle is a proposed line of accessories including sunglasses, snowboards, and bags, all sporting the DS logo.
Part of Core77’s Greener Gadgets competition, WattBlocks offer a single, foot-pedal activated switch to disable all the electronics in a home that are in standby mode (“vampires”).
Making perfect sense those who live in sunny climes, this SunCat Batteries concept uses photovoltaic cells glued onto NiMHs to trickle charge depleted batteries with sunlight.
They only exist as renders, but we hope Erick Sakal’s Another Long Chair gets made; the organic, segmented design an anodized aluminum slats put cheap patio furniture to shame.
BMW muddies the crossover waters with its 5 Series Gran Turismo; this “Progressive Activity Sedan” features a unique tailgate and fold-flat rear seats that create 58 cubic feet of storage.
A departure from stiff touchscreens, Impress uses an array of force sensors under squishy foam that adds another dimension to touch interactions: it detects pressure intensity.
Driven by an alternate (read: imaginary) form of propulsion, Norio Fujikawa’s JetBike is like something straight out of a Last Exile and Akira mashup; we wants!
Despite its austere design, the Novanta Workstation (made out of aluminum and MDF) squeezes in speakers, a USB hub, monitor stand, iPod dock, power strip, and three drawers.
Nike’s City Knife II concept continues to refine the foldable shoe, this time with an origami-like design that can be tucked into your back pocket. Thanks, Random Objects!
Proposed by artist Michael Marcovici, UNITX is an urban tunnel system that would automate package transport; it’d be driven by logibots that could deliver up to 4 boxes at 50 km/h.
