Titanium mouse.

Nov 3, 2009

apple-titanium1
apple-titanium2
After the Apple’s Magic Mouse mouse, here’s a blow of heart for this design made entirely of titanium and high quality resin, with laser optics.

Good to go on Windows and Mac OS X.

This is a hand-crafted device that is anything but humble (or cheap) or as smart as MM, but lays down challenge on the design front.

The ID mouse is Bluetooth enabled and is constructed from hand-formed grade one titanium and high quality plastic resin. It features a neodymium scroll wheel and is suitable for both left and right-handed users. Powered by two AAA batteries it is available in black or white and has a three-button layout.

Stunning design comes at a price – $1,200 USD

Apple magic mouse.

Nov 3, 2009

apple-magic1

apple-magic3Apple introduces world’s first wireless multi-touch “Magic Mouse”.

Apple delivers minimalist design with no buttons, scroll wheels or “nipples” on display. Instead, the entire top of the aluminum-based mouse is a seamless hard acrylic multi-touch surface that lets users navigate using the finger gestures made popular on other Apple devices, such as the iPod touch, iPhone and Macbook trackpads.

Touch-sensitive surface enables familiar mouse controls: left and right mouse buttons, full 360 degree scrolling. Bottomline, the whole surface is, in fact, a clickable button like the original clear Apple mouse.

However, does not pinch zoom – instead, a screen zoom is accomplished by holding the Control key on the keyboard down while scrolling with one finger. Swiping across the touch surface with two fingers lets users flip through web pages in Safari or photos in iPhoto. You can also add custom touch controls.

The new Magic Mouse will be included with every new iMac and is available separately for $69 USD.

Here’s a clever concept to the mis-match aspect ratios for cinema ( 16/9 ) and television ( 4/3 ).

Not sure how its done but I don’t mind showing this piece of furniture. Being familiar with these dimensions it was easy to remember the model name: 16943. Never liked the 4/3 configure.

New iPod shuffle.

shuffle3The new Shuffle is small. Really small. Smallest music player in the world.
Apple says it the first mp3 player that talks to you. A new addition to this model is the new VoiceOver feature which compensates for the long-discussed anti-screen. You can manage multiple playlists and get song titles by voiceover at the touch of a button.

Producer: Apple( see features )

More robots! Robotic systems continue to evolve, slowly penetrating many areas of our lives, from manufacturing, medicine and remote exploration to entertainment, security and personal assistance.
Developers in Japan are currently building robots to assist the elderly, while NASA develops the next generation of space explorers, and artists are exploring new avenues of entertainment.

Objectified. Objects meet designers.

Feb 6, 2009

objectified-1
objectified-snowFrom the creator of Helvetica the Movie, Gary Hustwit, comes a new documentary.

Above: sidewalk + snow + stereo in nyc = a production still

Objectified is a feature-length documentary about our relationship to manufactured objects and, by extension, the people who design them. It’s a look at the creativity at work behind everything from toothbrushes to tech gadgets. It’s about industrial designers, the people who re-examine, re-evaluate and re-invent our manufactured environment on a daily basis. It’s about personal expression, identity, consumerism, and sustainability.
