Conceptual Gadgets

These days, nary an emotion is shared without the aid of an emoticon. It’s just the way things are becoming. We’d much rather type our emotion then show it face to face. We’re somehow less vulnerable when we have a display separating us from our true feelings.

The future of human emotion might be in a state of evolution. Technology could forever change the way we process our feelings. Our lowest lows and our highest highs. The Mask Of Emotion exchanges facial expressions for digital emotions. If you weren’t easy to read before, now people should have no problems discerning your emotion.

Grand Theft Auto is one of the greatest, most controversial, and most notorious game brands to ever exist. Despite the amazing success of the newest addition to the series, Grand Theft Auto IV was not released for the Nintendo Wii console. Maybe they were waiting for the right time to release the game. Say, when they had an awesome new peripheral to make their version unique.

So maybe vandalism isn’t a huge selling point for a game that features the mass slaying of prostitutes and high-speed pursuits. On the whole scheme of things, graffiti is the least of the cops problems in the GTA series. But even so, the Wii is in need of a little risque edge. Something to attract the solo angry gamer. The Wii Spray might be right up their alley.

These humorous little speakers use little chat bubbles to emit sound.  Making the design seem much more witty and chic than my normal computer speakers.  All they do is sit there, they don’t even look cool.  I’m going to have to hang my head in shame now.  All these novelty speakers are making me look entirely too normal.  My keyboard glows though, that’s cool right?  Three different colors too, I don’t need interesting speakers.  No, I have a glowing keyboard.

See this Teddy Bear here? He isn’t just a soft cuddly toy, but a GPS Navigator. That’s right, when this guy goes out to the woods today, you had better come along. In fact, he’ll even give you directions to the Teddy Bear’s Picnic.

Not only will this Teddy Bear, designed by iXs Research Corporation, give you audio directions, but it will also point with its little arms to tell you where you need to turn. By the way, there is some sort of alcohol detection sensor around its neck that prevents you from driving if you are too drunk.

This thing certainly looks cute. However, I have no idea how a user sets its destination. After all, there is no screen on the thing. Well, you got to give iXs Research Corporation credit for trying a completely new design for the GPS.

I am one that is extremely guilty of bad posture on occasion, I have gotten better with age.  However, the longer I am on my computer and even worse when I’m doing any gaming, my posture slowly gets worse and worse.  Eventually ending with a slightly sore back.  This shirt is meant to remind you when you’re starting to get that infamous hunch.  Personally, I say if your doctor hasn’t scolded you about your posture, slouch while you still can.

I suppose that whoever came up with the name of the Mimique was probably looking for some fancy way of saying mimic. The Mimique concept cellular phone from RKS certainly “mimics” several aspects of both old-school and contemporary cellular phones.

As far as old school goes, the Mimique phone has the distinctive shape of those ten-year-old phones, down to that side antenna that hopefully did something.

As for the newest design influences, the Mimique has full touchscreen capability. One of the reasons why RKS designers decided to go with the old-school shape was they thought the iPhone and iPod touch looked too much alike. They wanted to make a touchscreen phone that actually looked like a phone, not some other mobile device.

With everyone constantly having gadgets at hand that all tell the time, mainly cellphones, it seems a bit ridiculous to wear a watch anymore.  That is unless you feel the need to make a fashion statement that says you’re so smart you can read a watch that is nothing more than scribbles.  I actually had to minimize the window with the photo of the watch because I felt hypnotized by it.  I just kept staring at it trying to see the point in a watch that would be so obnoxious to read you would end up ripping your hair out.

If you’re wealthy enough to be planning a trip to the moon as soon as they are available to the public then there is no doubt that you are going to want the ultimate of lunar luxury. How could you expect any less out of a multi-million dollar trip?
