Week 10 : Futuristic design concepts

Futuristic design concept is getting more and more important in our life, especially for those who work in their hectic life. With the existence of those futuristic design concepts' stuffs, this may help them to reduce their working load and time consuming instead. This is what i had found about the futuristic design concepts through http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/04/100-amazing-futuristic-design-concepts-w-wish-were-real/ website :

1. Cloud Sofa

This is an elegant concept created by designer D.K. Wei. The Cloud sofa is supposed to give one the illusion of floating on their own personal cloud. A magnet in the base is supposed to generate enough magnetic force to hold the sofa aloft. The cloud is constructed from a plexiglass mold.

2. The iChat

This concept design was inspired by the curves and tapering of the Macbook Air coupled with the look of an iPod Touch. Rodolphe Desmare is responsible for this iPhone concept, which is more notable for its imagined features than its looks. The front camera would allow video conferencing on the iPhone, something that the blogosphere is already very excited about as a potential feature for the new release of the iPhone.

This fantasy iPhone mimics both the look of Mac OS/X and the aluminum case of a MacBook Pro.

The video capability in this design preceded the one in the iChat, above. The removable battery is also tantalizing.

Nereus is a conceptual design by Mathias Koehler for a watercraft that would allow you to travel on water and dive or submerge for short periods.

Steering would be through the footrests which are connected to the back rudder.
