For sure this concept designed by Nathan Gabriele is one of the greatest I have see lately. When you look at it seems like a simple egg-shaped object but it can be unmounted into two pieces that are the satellite speakers and the base acts as a subwoofer.

It has even an dock for your mp3 player and comes with a neoprene jacket.

The idea must be sold to Apple because it is in trend with it’s gadgets: innovative, performant and eye catching.

In our days we are becoming a society that is more virtual than real and everything that is around us means technology.
Designer Kyle Bean has created a design to show the world that the technology and the Internet are having an impact “in the way we source information”.

Going to libraries and reading books has become a rare situaton. We prefer to find the information on the Internet.

“Books also have personality - they have textures and smells which the internet can’t offer”.

To illustrate this issue he transformed a book into a laptop. The book was purchased at a discount bookstore for only £1.50, and he added some electrical components to light up the screen.

Caracol is a computer keyboard just for one hand using a rotary keyboard on a wheel through which you slip your palm.

“The Caracol Keyboard was inspired by snail, by the way it behaves around its shell. With this loop structure, the keys move to the fingers instead of the other way around. It have a gear box that provides a 5:1 raito and a little move to the right or left makes the loop spins in such a way that the hand can easily reach all the keys.”

The keyboard has the conventional keys order “QWERTY” but it uses a symmetry for combining the movements of two hands just in one.

It looks very interesting but I wonder how comfortable it is and how fast can you type with it. Time will tell if this concept will become reality. [ via Gadgettastic ]
