After 12 years as a concept, the new SeaOrbiter research vessel designed by French architect Jacques Rougerie. Now has the required funding and all the technical issues have been resolved to make the concept vessel a reality. Allowing it to roam and research our oceans, watch the video after the jump to see the concept in action.

“The wire skeleton inside Twig isn’t a limp noodle like those bendable toys from gum-ball machines. Twig is strong. Bend a leg, and it stays bent. Bend all three legs, and make a tripod. Bend Twig and plug it into your AC adapter to make an instant wall charger dock. And when you want to hit the road, just bend Twig back into ultra-portable mode and chuck it in your bag. It’s like no other cable, and it’s awesome.”

Audi has released a new image of its RS Q3 concept, which its prepared to showcase at the upcoming Beijing Motor Show. The RS Q3 is equipped with a 360 hp engine and is capable of zipping from 0-62 in just 5.2 seconds.

“With the Amplifiear, the higher frequencies, receive a considerable boost. This will allow us to hear the crispness of a snare drum on our favorite track. This type of sound is often mottled or even completely lost as the sound from the speaker points away from you.”

He quickly told me it is a prototype. I saw a bluish light flashing off of his right eyeball. I could only guess that my Google+ profile flashed up, or maybe some PR voice said “stay quiet” or something like that.But the glasses are real. Very light looking. Most of the people around us had no idea that these glasses are pretty special.

A project currently on Kickstarter has provides a range of tablet stands, which can be used on either work surfaces or in your car. Currently all parts of the Steelie tablet stands are create by a team of four engineers in their workshop and uses magnets to holder the stand in place when required. Watch the video after the jump to see it in action and see how the Steelie could benefit your tablet usage.

Designer Michaël Imbert has created a concept Vintage Marshall speaker called the Marshall Freeplayer, which has been designed to provide you with a speaker system for all your modern day music needs. The Marshall FreePlayer has been designed to be equipped with Bluetooth and has been styled after Marshall’s famous vintage amplifier.

The Freeplayer also includes an iPod dock allowing you to benefit from 360 degrees of high quality audio. Unfortunately the Mashall FreePlayer is still only a concept at the moment, and probably wouldn’t be coming to market any time in the near future, which is a real shame. Exact specifications for the speaker system are a little light on the ground.

“The classic look, attention to details such as old amplifier of the brand gives vintage appearance of the design. Brushed gold plate, plastic cover as well as the glittering plastic corners are great part of essences of the brand.”

The latest creation of future watch is a design submitted to Tokyflash by Peter Fletcher from the UK, and the watch combines both LCD (or LED) with a mechanical analogue watch movement, as you can see in the photos below.

The time telling method is very simple, the arrow shaped hand has 12 LCD (or LED) blocks representing the hours. This hand is part of a disc which rotates powered by the mechanical movement to point towards the minutes. Around the outside of the disc is a ring of LCD (or LED)blocks  that represent the seconds, this gives the watch some animation. 

Commercial supersonic travel has long been out of the market, ever since the Concorde stopped its services in 2003. Nine years later, the findings of a group of university researchers may just lead to cheaper, quieter, and more fuel-efficient supersonic travel.

Key highlights of the iPad 3 Concept features include edge-to-edge screen, magnetic iPads with near field communications (NFC) and 3d holographic display for multiplayer games
This computer generated iPad 3 concept video pushes the envelope in iPad design and iPad features, just like its hugely successful sister video 'iPhone 5 Concept Features' did with iPhone design and iPhone features. We hope this Concept iPad 3 preview provides you as much entertainment as an iPad 3 commercial or iPad 3 official video or an iPad 3 review, before the actual iPad 3 unboxing.

Magnic Light is the first compact contactless bicycle dynamo - a new invention which we believe has the potential to revolutionize bicycle illlumination. 


A dynamo light doesn’t need batteries since it’s powered by the motion of your rear wheel so you don’t have to think about detaching it from the bike, replacing AA’s or charging it. The disadvantages though are a bit of a slow down due to the transfer of energy, the necessary attachment of magnets to the wheel rim and the friction that causes deceleration for the bike. It also dims out when the bike isn’t in motion.

One thing that hasn’t changed much over the years is the shape of our cameras, which have always pretty much taken the form of a rectangular box design. Now Jean-michel Bonnemoy is looking to change our view of the traditional rectangular camera box design, and has created a unique camera design concept camera which takes the form of a cylinder.

Reminiscent of a Tron styled watch, TokyoFlash the unique watch manufacturer has posted another concept watch design on their website which has been created by Hea’thër from Bluton & Sam from Germany. The watches display uses ‘always on’ LCD technology, The watch can be set to light up every 30 seconds to show the time and fade out again.

The light up function will light up a backlight, 2 LEDs on the sides of the case that glow through two lateral translucent buttons, and 4 LEDs in the case that glow through and along the fiber optic lines along the strap. The inspiration fro the futuristic design is explained by its designers Hea’thër & Sam :

“In 1947, a Blutonian vessel crash-landed on Earth, and in searching through the debris, scientists were fascinated to learn that objects that came from the planet Bluton glow purple when exposed to Earth’s atmosphere. In view of the fact that the vessel’s crew was never recovered, many believe that there are Blutonian natives living among us today, hiding in plain sight. You may even be able to recognize them by their sense of style – all have an affinity for objects that remind them of their home planet, objects that glow.”
