KLM futuristic Airplane

KLM WB-1010 promises to revolutionize flight travel in 85 years.

Designer Reindy Allendra has envisioned a brilliant new aircraft that, if proven flight-worthy, could revolutionize travel. Inspired by a blue whale, the KLM WB-1010 looks like a giant blimp with supersonic engines in the back. Capable of carrying 1500 people at a max speed of 620mph, the futuristic aircraft comes with “smart glass” windows and a helium-injected body to maintain a light weight factor.

KLM futuristic Airplane 

The WB-1010 (stands for Wright Brothers) is an official entry into the current KLM Indonesia aircraft design competition. It’s purely a concept plane using technology that might be feasible in the future, but still doesn’t exist.

VW Aqua Hovercraft concept

VW Aqua, great concept, if you need a hovercraft.

The Aqua Concept is a futuristic hovercraft (ACV – Air Cushion Vehicle) powered by Hydrogen and propelled by impellers. Looks great and futuristic, but something that VW will never make. The project was presented CDN  Awards and was conceived as an off-road vehicle targeted to Chinese customers.

The hovercraft was chosen for its ability to travel equally well over land, ice, and water, thus resulting quite suitable for China’s wide landform range of wetlands. Aqua features a powertrain with several engines, the main one is located under the chassis, which and is responsible for lifting the vehicle by forcing high pressure air under the craft.

iSpace designers Workstation

Cool digital drawing board concept by Jameel Kamil.

iSpace designers Workstation merges the physical scale of the classic designer’s board with the functionality of a tablet into one unit. The iSpace Workstation is essentially an enormous flat screen computer monitor that stands on its sturdy tower and immediately digitizes everything that you draw.

iSpace designers Workstation

We really like Jameel Kamil's concept. It’s nice new wist on a classic drawing board.
We like the idea of working naturally, directly on the HD screen. Unfortunately it’s unrealistic and it will never happen. Also there is a problem with a modern software. You would still need keyboard and mouse.

 

iSpace designers Workstation

If you really want Interactive Pen Display, you might as well buy Wacom Cintiq. The best combination of touch display and digitizer pen on the market. 22” Wacom Cintiq is expensive ($2500) little quizmo, just imagine how much iSpace Workstation would be.

Jumbo 747 sleeper

Boeing 747 conference table

One word comes to mind after taking a good long look at the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Conference Table– Epic! Formed from a General Electric engine nacelle, this piece of custom furniture is living proof why MotoArt is considered the pioneer, forerunner and standard-bearer of airplane furniture. Although fit for the Guggenheim, it’s better as a defining element for a modern office environment.

Boeing 747 conference table

At 12’ wide and sporting a high-mirror polish, the Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet Conference Table is simply commanding. Perfectly complementing the outer finish is a custom fabricated engine stator set with internal multicolored LED lighting topped with a polished spun aluminum dome, which lies beneath an elegant 1/2” round tempered glass top. The masterpiece seats up to twelve and can include a set of optional highly useful data ports.

The Rolling Mouse

The Rolling Mouse charges using electromagnetic induction.

The Rolling Mouse isn't just another cordless computer mouse. This good looking mouse doesn't require battery changes or a charger in order to juice up its battery. With the Rolling Mouse charging is done via short distance wireless charging using wireless Bluetooth technology through resonant inductive coupling - electromagnetic induction.

The Rolling Mouse

Because a large battery is not needed, the Rolling Mouse has a slim profile. Looks very elegant and slick. Unfortunately it looks there is a traditional scroll wheel and 2 buttons. Lack of Multi Touch technology is big minus. We would like to see ergonomically correct Magic Mouse (Apple).

LG G Watch R Android Smart Watch

So far the best looking smart watch.

We really dislike whole idea of a smart watch. What is the point, terrible battery life. If you need something smart - there is always phone in a pocket. Saying all that LG has announced a new, round Android Wear smart watch with a conventional men’s watch design.

And it looks very good.

LG G Watch R, So far the best looking smart watch.

The Watch R has a steel frame, which resembles a more traditional men’s analogue sports watch with a 1.3in round plastic OLED screen and an interchangeable standard watch strap.

LG G Watch R, So far the best looking smart watch.

The Watch R is waterproof to IP67 standards, or 1m of fresh water for up to 30 minutes, so designed to survive a rain shower. It is also powered by the same 1.2GHz processor as the original G Watch, connecting to an Android smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, and has a similar sized battery, meaning that battery life should be at least one full day of usage.

Ferrari F80

Ferrari F80 Supercar Concept by Adriano Raeli.

Very cool design by Italian designer Adriano Raeli. He studied Transportation Design at Art Center College of Design in Pasadena California. This car is absolutely stunning, wide swooping bodywork and an aggressively look. Ferrari F80 is essentially a road-legal F1 car.

Ferrari F80 Supercar Concept by Adriano Raeli.

The designer modeled his F80 on stealth fighter jets and draws plenty of inspiration from the Enzo as well (Enzo of the future). Larger air intakes, a raked windshield and over-sized rear diffuser is slathered in the famed Ferrari red.

Ferrari F80 Supercar Concept by Adriano Raeli.

The Ferrari F80 concept has a hybrid drivetrain. An internal combustion engine and a KERS system combine to produce 1,200 horsepower.Proposed weight is 800 kg and top speed 500km/h, and 0-100 km/h in just 2.2 secs. This is as good as Formula 1.

iControl

iControl is the Missing piece in Apple’s HomeKit.

Designer Peter Zigich, has come up with device that controls Smart Home using upcoming Apple’s HomeKit. It’s a cross between a universal remote control and an iDevice with lots of connectivity options. He calls this device iControl.
At Apple’s recent Worldwide Developers Conference HomeKit, a suite of tools for controlling devices such as lights, locks, garage doors, alarms, thermostats and more using iOS device was announced.

iControl 3d concept by Peter Zigich

Current iOS devices (iPhone & iPad), are not well suited for Apples HomeKit & Home Automation for a number of key reasons:

• The lack of ZigBee, Z-Wave, IR prevents compatibility with hundreds of existing Home Automation devices.


• Many members of a household still do not own their iOS device (small children, grandparents, ……).


• Limited battery life for Home Automation.

iControl 3d concept by Peter Zigich

A crucial hardware piece that is missing in the Apple Home Automation ecosystem, is a device / hub that would be in the centre of the living room, to control “Smart Home”. The simplest way to describe this gizmo is that it is a cross between a universal remote control and an iPod Touch with lots of connectivity options and sensors built into it.

iControl 3d concept by Peter Zigich

Features:

• metal body


• 4” touch screen


• Touch ID


• Connectivity – Bluetooth BLE, WiFi, ZigBee, Z-Wave, IR infrared


• Front & back camera


• Siri, AirPlay, AirPlay Mirroring. Facetime, VoIP phone….


• Significantly larger battery (possible solar or wireless charging)


• Built in sensors to assist Smart devices (motion, temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, light etc).

IXION windowless jet

IXION windowless jet with 360 degree panoramic views and solar panels.

International agency Technicon Design has created a concept for a private jet that replaces windows with screens. Technicon Design has a lot of experience working in the commercial aviation sector.

IXION windowless jet by Technicon Design.

IXION’s windowless jet uses external cameras to capture a full 360-degree panoramic view of the exterior of the plane, which is then adjusted for perspective and displayed on the cabin’s interior display panels that cover most of the cabin. This gives the passenger the illusion of transparency, albeit a 2-dimensional one. The displays could also be customized to show any other animated wallpaper you so chose, such as a beach scene or outer space. In order to drive low voltage systems on-board, a series of amorphous solar panels are placed on the upper front half of the exterior

IXION windowless jet by Technicon Design.

"The ethos of the project is simple, to challenge current thinking, and propose something a little different, but not just a fantasy," said Technicon design director Gareth Davies. "It has to be credible and relevant, yet provoke discussion."
"We quickly settled on the controversial yet interesting idea of removing the windows from the cabin and using existing or very near future technology to display the exterior environment to the inside surfaces of the cabin via external cameras."

iPro 3d concept

iPro 3d concept is a mix between a Mac Pro and an iMac.

Swiss designer Kurt Merki Jr. has mixed the iMac with the Mac Pro into one product called the iPro. This device completes with a 35-inch display and integrated sound bar and it's looking good.

iPro 3d concept by Kurt Merki Jr.

The Apple iPro computer is a very nice looking concept that looks just like a Lenovo Yoga Tablet, with that circular tube at the bottom. It’s supposed to be a combo between a Mac Pro and an iMac. It features a glass OLED display with unibody design and relies on a flexible architecture. The unibody takes the shape of a tube and components can be lined up inside in order to fit the user’s needs.

iPro 3d concept by Kurt Merki Jr.

Apple iPro features a 35 inch Retina Cinema Display, with a resolution of 3382 x 1964 pixels. The device comes with front facing stereo speakers, 10 of them actually and dual microphones too. This model has a 20 degree tilt function and comes in 3 colors: gold, black and silver. There are actually two Mac Pros worth of hardware inside and the two computers are cooled down separately with a fan on either sides of the tube.

BMW CS Vintage Concept

Project by car designer David Obendorfer.

This project is a modern interpretation of the 1968 BMW E9 series designed by Giovanni Michelotti. In fact, it focuses on two models: Michelotti’s E9 and its predecessor, the 1965 BMW 2000 CS (E120 series).

1968 BMW E9

BMW CS Vintage Concept by David Obendorfer

Back then the 2000 CS used to be fairly successful thanks to its sleek line, brilliant performance and good build quality, so BMW decided to upgrade the model by setting up a new generation of straight-six engines, redesigning the interior, and the only part of the coupé that had raised concerns: the front. The new front end, by Giovanni Michelotti, gave considerable impetus to the whole car body. The designer from Turin eliminated the large rectangular headlights in favour of an arrow-shaped front with a large matte black mask and four round headlights.

BMW CS Vintage Concept by David Obendorfer

The operation is very similar to the mid-generational refresh applied today by all car manufacturers to keep the product competitive and attractive to customers without making expensive technical amendments. Yet the transition between the E120 and E9 was particularly important for BMW because the new front gave the car a strong stylistic identity with a recognizable personality. The design with the four round headlights has proved to be a winning style pattern that BMW has been carrying on for over 35 years evolving and proposing it on all its models.

BMW CS Vintage Concept by David Obendorfer

The BMW CS Vintage Concept is based on the 6 series platform (in production since 2011). The style, despite numerous citations from the past, is substantially contemporaneous with updated proportions and with modern details, many of which are inspired by nautical styling solutions.
