If you think only certain instruments like the guitars and pianos could clearly show us how music is played, then let me correct you because the Noteput Music Table can perform that task as well as the instruments, or even better. It is an interactive musical device, allowing you to see, to hear and to feel the music simultaneously. The musical table employs the camera-based marker tracking, which could identify each note and their positions. So music (or sound) would then be created and heard as you place the musical notes onto the table. The notes could be played by using the sound of different instruments.

I bet most guys in front of the screen have taken these airplanes as miniature scale models. Of course you’re totally wrong, because they’re real airplanes taken using the Tilt-Shift Photography technology. Tilt-Shift is an innovative technique that uses special lenses to make ordinary scene seem much smaller in the pictures. Also improved by increasing color saturation and contrast to simulate the bright paint of scale models, the technique is particularly effective on buildings and vehicles.

Perhaps even the fattest man would be in a good shape if he/she keeps riding a bike everyday. Then I’d like to suggest using the mini-sized bicycle for better efficacy! But obviously it’s not designed for those being excessively fat…

I bet you’ll love the perfect concept behind the Bottoms Up Shot Glass: drink up, drunk down. Simply flip the glass over, you’ll find the word ‘drink’ change into another word ‘drunk’. The magic glass is mainly based on a calligraphic design—ambigram, which makes one word to be read as more words from different angles. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Kinekt Design creator Glen Liberman has long sought to develop a simple ring that is also complex to play with. And apparently he succeeded, as Glen Liberman has created the ‘Gear Ring’. Featuring six micro-precision gears inside, the stainless steel ring is an innovative ring especially perfect for those who love to spin their rings ceaselessly.

Launched by Armatix, the $10,000 weapon won’t fire unless the user is wearing a corresponding watch. But the gun still won’t shoot if the watch isn’t close enough. So only when you see the LED lights turn green, you can then use the expensive weapon. I cannot think of a rational reason why I want this gun, but I know clearly that I love the creative concept a lot. [Read the rest of this entry...]
Fashion Capital, Shopping Paradise, yes, those are both alternative names to Paris. And this time, it may be given another name as ‘Disco Club’.

Designed by Michel de Broin, the 7.5 meter disco ball is 50-meters high above the Jardin du Luxembourg.

These clothes are so ordinary. But, the thing the new product is about is the interface on the front, which allows two guys to have some interactive gaming fun. It also comes with an accelerometer at the back, providing you certain control during the game. How to play? Well, actually, what you have to do is to keep rocking back and forth to have the game paddle move.
Have you ever slept in the wild? Then you’re specialized in pitching a tent? If you say no to both questions, I’d like to suggest you a camping trip with the Bike Tent. Simply place the bike on the ground (with the front wheel detached), put one end of the tent onto its seat, and fix other sides with mesh panels onto the ground, done!
