eReader + tablet + laptop = Flexbook

Flexbook
Flexbook is a concept developed by Taiwanese designer Hao-Chun Huang that participated at „Fujitsu Design Award 2011: A life with future computing”, organized by Design Boom in collaboration with Fujitsu. And I really, really, really want to see it made.

This could very well be the Golden Grail of all user-friendly devices. Depending on your wishes, the Flexbook can be folded as an e-book reader, a tablet for reading news or a laptop for working on text documents, through a 180-degree swivel touch screen. The portable Flexbook has a waterproof keypad and 21:9 screen and a flexible structure with a center joint.

Use gum to support your smartphone – iStuck Phone Stand

iStuck Phone Stand
Remember when you were in school and found gum virtually everywhere? Under the desk, on your seat, in your hair (the horror…). Relive the “good old days” with this iStuck phone stand that supports your iPhone or iPad.

The whole concept reminds me of those gooey little friends I was manipulating in World of Goo. And just like in the game, an icky object proves to be the mother of all physics. This gum imitator keeps your “iDevice” at the perfect angle so you can enjoy watching a movie. Twin suction cups attach to most devices with smooth hard surfaces.

Hybrid Furniture, by Paul Kweton

Hybrid Furniture Paul Kweton is a designer who successfully manipulates wood, turning it into modern furniture. Its piece, Hybrid Furniture is a mixture of an old school rocking chair and a dog house. Weirdly enough, the result actually looks great.

Made from plywood, the Hybrid Furniture allows you to rest on the comfortable chair, while your favorite canine pet can take a nap beneath you (literally). The chair has a special opening that’s big enough for a dog to fit in.

Lifebook Leaf

Design Concept: A solar powered laptop – Lifebook Leaf

Lifebook Leaf The Lifebook Leaf has been designed by Americans Laura Karnath and Carl Burdick. They have participated with this design concept and won the Fujitsu Design Award for „a life with future computing”. While it has a Matrix feel to it, the laptop is actually a wonderful alternative to contemporary technology, offering a solution that dismisses regular power sources.

The Lifebook Leaf uses a single and flexible OLED touchscreen that you can flat out or fold into a notebook form. Because the exterior is covered in rubber, it is well protected against unpleasant events that lead to scratching. It’s also completely waterproof when shut. Featuring a small OLED panel on the back that shows charging data and notifications, along with a 4G module for integrating communication, 3 cameras that can shoot 3D images and allow depth sensing (for a gestural control). But the best thing about the Lifebook Leaf is that it can be charged by sunlight. It’s a beautiful way to make use of the latest technology while preserving nature.

The Ringbow

Control your smartphone with a ring-Ringbow

The Ringbow Designed by some Israeli guys, Efrat Barit and Saar Shai, the Ringbow may very well become the ultimate accessory for our smartphones. It definitely changes the way we can interact with touch-screens, hand-gestures recognition devices and augmented reality.

The Ringbow has a directional nub with five different controls for direction that can be personalized. By using his thumb, a user can easily guide the actions he takes on his phone, without having to physically touch it. This allows you to have more mobility. Hopefully, the Ringbow will become a device that will simplify our lives.
