Innovation: What are the best new products that people don't know about. Beautiful And Original Product Designs. Advertisement Successful product design manages to reveal useful functionality beyond its appealing form.
No matter how excellent a design looks like, most customers aren’t likely to spend money on something they won’t be able to use. On the other hand, most people are likely to buy something useful despite the design it has. Yet the key to a truly successful product design lies in designer’s ability to combine both beautiful design and functionality making it obvious to the customers how the product can be used and which benefits it delivers. However, one can combine the beauty of design with the utility it is supposed to provide. Most products fail to pass this test and never reach the production stage; some products do manage to get to the stores. Dezeen - architecture and design magazine. The Learning Thermostat. Recycline.

Innovative or just plain wacky? Strangest inventions of 2011. Over here at SmartPlanet, we throw around the word "innovation" a lot.
That's because on any given day, you're likely to find a chock full of news and analysis of cutting-edge technologies such as LED lighting, solar energy and robotics. But what about some of the more off-beat ideas that, while not having the same degree of widespread application, still makes somebody's life smarter, more efficient or simply enjoyable? Surely an argument can be made for a commercial Jetpack having as much of an impact for someone than the latest electric car. For instance, there's something to the fact that the fundraising website Kickstarter has become a popular starting point for indie inventors to bring their ideas to market through "crowdfunding.

But while the Internet is playing host to various survival strategies, we at frog are thinking of other things that will shape culture this year. We surveyed frogs from across the globe and across disciplines to share their favorite tech trends that’ll crop up this year and what their impact would be on design, business, entertainment, and our daily routines. Without a doubt, this is shaping up to be a year of hyper-connected, highly personal, ultrasmart computing that, well, might just skip the computer altogether.
Here, our tech forecasters, drawing from their expertise in everything from strategy to engineering, make their predictions for 2012. Among them: moving beyond the computer interface toward voice and gesture recognition, building more intimacy into social networks, and the continued exploration of biomimicry. Connected Cities Chief Creative Officer Mark Rolston Taking Computers Out of Computing. Demystifying Usability : The Science of Fun: How Fun Helps Improve Your Design. Fun is important to design usability (Monk et al 2002; Overbeeke et. al. 2002; Hazzenzahl and Burmester 2001).
Fun activates several important cognitive processes, known for centuries from games we have created and played. Think of a fun game you lasted played...These same processes make fun an important design usability tool. First, fun loosens structured cognition making it easier to learn. Fun engages whole-brain learning by engaging our right-brain processes (in the right prefrontal cortex). The Schiller Lab at MIT. Little Printer – Now Available to Pre-order!
It’s been an amazing few months in the studio.
Since we made the announcement last November, Little Printer has received loads of attention. The introductory video received half a million views in the first five days alone. Over 60,000 of you signed up to hear news, and we’re very happy to be able to bring you some. For eight months we’ve been getting a mirror finish on the plastic, folding steel, fixing radio interference bugs (there are some war stories there), designing characters, creating beautiful packaging, making the best possible API for developers, getting set up with credit cards… and today, finally, we’re manufacturing. Which means: Little Printer can now be pre-ordered from the BERG Cloud shop! Features: Usability Methods. Open Planet Ideas. PrEmo - measuring product emotions. Engineer Vs.

It costs between three and four times more than the previously most expensive skateboard.It is much larger than it looks, and it's heaps of fun. It is the BMW Streetcarver and it's one of the more bizarre brand extensions to come from the automotive segment in recent years, (see also the Chrysler Razor Concept Car and the Ford Tonka Truck) particularly given that the skateboard fraternity is hardcore, hard baked, irreverent and the $1295 price of the StreetCarver is a lot of money in any language. But the StreetCarver is not a normal skateboard. With the sport of snowboarding gaining instant legitimacy thanks to the winter Olympics, BMW's StreetCarver is reaching the market at exactly the right time. Trucdesign.com.

The "Ames" Optical Illusion: In the late forties, visual researcher Adelbert Ames Jr. designed a series of visual illusions to demonstrate how the mind forms hypotheses about reality and depth. In one such illusion, Ames tested aspects of depth perception in a specially designed, distorted room. He constructed a trapezoidal room for the observer to view by gazing through a peephole. In reality, one corner of the room is farther from the observer than the other corner. But when viewed from a particular angle, the room appears normal. If a man would stand in the far corner and a small boy in the near corner, the boy appears larger than the man because of the distorted perspective.

Motivation. What would happen if physical objects around us are enabled to transform their shapes? What kind of interactions and applications would become possible for the devices that dynamically deform and change their physical appearance in response to the user actions? In Lumen project, we are creating and investigating an interactive device that can dynamically change its shape to communicate information to the users. Lumen overview. Conceptually we are investigating interfaces that can be generalized as an extension of traditional 2D bit-mapped RGB displays. The Lumen, is an implementation of such RGBH display: it’s a low-resolution (13 by 13 pixel) bitmap display where each pixel can also physically move up and down. Interaction. Dynamic physical shapes add another interactive dimension to flat 2D images. Answers.com: Wiki Q&A; combined with free online dictionary, thesaurus, and encyclopedias.

It’s one of the most dreaded moments in the life of a creative person. The muse packs her bags, walks out the door, and doesn’t leave word as to when she’ll come back. Many of us, myself included, sink into a deep, dark despair filled with doubt and worry. Does she just need a weekend away, or has she gone on a round-the-world cruise? 10 (More) Amazing Videos About the Creative Process. Just like the rest of us, creatives like Milton Glaser, Louis C.K. and Ray Bradbury struggle when going through their process. No really, we have proof.
