Using the iPad as a dish for food, iDish
For a gazillion uses that people could think of for the iPad, no one at Apple probably thought about it being used as a dish. A dish to eat food from. Leave that part to an iPad enthusiast “shiinaneko” who probably loves the device so much, he’d eat from it. Or hates it badly, depends [...]
Balls and Bearings play a musical instrument
Bearings Glocken is a musical instrument that automatically plays the glockenspiel, using bearings of course. The steel balls are finished into a near-perfect sphere, which then uniformly bounces back, thus making the instrument possible. Watch a video of the instrument in action after the jump.

Live Action Skeet Shooting Game
I’d play Duck Hunt to rev up my shooting skills, but that dog gets on my nerves. But this isn’t twenty years ago, so there are other options like the Live Action Skeet Shooting Game. Players are required to shoot three flying targets using an infrared gun, and are rewarded for a hit with the [...]
Reverse flowing hourglass is what Benjamin Button had
Time flowing backwards is something that will never happen, not even with the reverse going clock from The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

The reverse flowing hourglass includes two immiscible liquids, where [...]
Subtle Butt: The butt of a ton of jokes

Created as successors the Iso Grifo, the concepts carry the name IR10 as the last Grifos to reach the road were IR8 and IR9. The concepts from designers Davide Panarella, Luigi Santibacci, and [...]
Non-contact 3-D Gesture-Based Interaction System is better than Minority Report’s
The user interface that we saw in Minority Report once seemed to be the future of gesture-based UIs. Technological advances have gone further, and a prototype system developed at Fraunhofer FIT, Germany seems to be much better than the one seen in the movie. This non-contact gesture and finger recognition system uses a camera to [...]
Evian’s limited edition tees bring out the kid in you

Dieselpunk ‘Reign of Death’ short movie
“Reign of Death” is a short movie starring Noel Clarke, and is directed by concept designer Matt Savage. Set up in the high-tech future as envisioned in the mid-twentieth century, the movie shows some good visual effects. It does seem to let up towards the end, which is “too soon” for a short movie. Video [...]
