When the light turns red, a huge laser wall projecting apparitions of crossing pedestrians spans across the crosswalk. The concept is designed to keep crossing pedestrians safe from any overzealous drivers who otherwise might have ran the red light. Link [via] Rapunzel Descending Device by Sin Sun Ho & Yanko Design. Escape Route Number 2 You can easily mistake the Rapunzel for a canister, instead its an easy-to-use safety-descending device.
Designed by SADI student Sin Sun Ho, this safety line can be used in highrise buildings. You more or less have to glide down the side of a wall (Batman style), holding onto its secure wrist capsule design. Rapunzel is a 2010 Red Dot Concept Award Winning Entry. Designer: Sin Sun Ho. Sony Nextep Computer Concept for 2020 by Hiromi Kiriki & Yanko Design.
In 2020 We Can Wear Sony Computers On Our Wrist Our present need for internet connectivity is so profound that secondary devices like the Nextep Computer are bound to happen. Developed to be worn as a bracelet, this computer concept is constructed out of a flexible OLED touchscreen. Earmarked for the year 2020, features like a holographic projector (for screen), pull-out extra keyboard panels and social networking compatibility, make the concept plausible. Ten years from now is not too far away, so how many of you think we’d be buying such gadgets?
