What is the whole point of a consumer electronics show if you do not have a few concepts that tickle the imagination? The engineers at Toyota would like to wow us with their vision of what a car in the future would look like, kicking things off with “Yui”. Specially designed from the ground up, the Toyota Concept-i offers hopes to inspire the future in terms of mobility by knowing […]
Yes, it is a saying that is true and worthy that one should not waste time trying to reinvent the wheel, but the thing is, just how many things, concepts, processes or devices out there that are as perfect as a wheel, and no longer needs any kind of improvement? If one were to figure out parking signs in downtown Los Angeles, it might be an extremely challenging experience since […]
A few years back, not many people would have thought that Android would end up being the tour de force that it is today, as the Android operating system proved to be one mobile operating system that was full of bugs. Of course, this was before the Google Nexus One was released that changed the general public’s perception on how an Android smartphone could look like, and that was followed […]
Concept cars are one way for an automobile company to show the world what is possible, when all sorts of current restrictions are removed from the way, and one indulged in nothing but the power of imagination. Of course, this does not mean that all concept cars will not be realized off the production line somewhere in the world, but when it comes to Renault’s latest concept car, the Twin’Z, […]
RTS Lab, based in Iran, has developed Pars, which is an aerial rescue robot designed and made for “saving human lives”.

The robot can quickly move towards people who’re drowning off the coastline by user guidance and then activate its savior system which releases life tubes. It can also be used for maritime monitoring, aid in […]
Everyone wants to be green and eco-friendly these days, and this is a good phase to go through, preferably when it ends up being a kind of lifestyle, too. Phinergy, a company that is based in Israel, is developing a new kind of electric vehicle that would definitely make rides like the Nissan Leaf look archaic, and I am not talking about just in terms of design, but more importantly, […]
Most, if not all, of the vehicles that you see on the road these days started off as a concept. It makes perfect sense, as a concept would also allow a company to gauge the potential reception that a particular ride receives when it is finally released to the masses. Not only that, concepts will throw away all conventional thinking that boxes one in, and frees the designer to push […]
For those of you who take the subway to work and back each day, chances are you would find that most folks have their noses and thumbs buried in a smartphone or tablet, as it seems to get more and more rare these days to see someone reading a book instead. These smartphones and tablets will most probably rely on a pre-loaded game or movie, since the New York City […]
Did you pay any attention at math class when you were in school, especially when it concerned angles? Well, maybe it is time to find out whether all that knowledge is put to good use by having some fun at the pool table.

Flying cattle class, or rather, economy class if you were to use the proper term, is not something that most folks enjoy, but simply because of cost considerations, there is no other choice. Thing is, are there better ways to make flying economy class more comfortable? Malaysia-based engineering student Alireza Yaghoubi figured out that this is a proverbial broken wheel that needs to be fixed, and the AirGo concept of […]
Girls, listen up! I am quite sure that you have managed to amass quite a collection of nail polish over the years, and if you are one who always wears a different color each day and love to accessorize your nails, perhaps it is time you checked out what the 22nd century has on offer – the NailDisplay. Sure, the technology that makes the NailDisplay work is not yet in […]
I admit that Audi’s design ideas when it comes to their automobiles these days are nothing short of stunning and inspirational. The Audi TT was the first Audi car that really caught my imagination, and even until today, that iconic shape is able to hold its own, and one of the German automobile manufacturer’s most recent innovation would be doing away with the traditional tail-lights, but rather, install ‘swarm’ lights […]
Are flexible displays the holy grail when it comes to portable consumer electronics such as the smartphone? I suppose you could say so, and Samsung did take a step in the right direction where flexible displays are concerned at the recently concluded CES 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Well, here is a concept that will run along the same line of thought – the iFlex flexPhone concept, being the creation […]
