Cars in the future – New Car Everyday

WorldInFuture — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 23:28:13 +0000

The MOY Concept is a project of a compact car capable of displaying custom and graphics through a body made of polycarbonate panels with integrated LCDs and LEDs. The car, designed by Elvis Tomljenovic, was the winner of the contest at the auto(r) conference.

The Moy Concept is targeted at a modern generation who uses technology as a means to express themselves and communicate with others

This concept, designed by Elvis Tomljenovic, was the winner of the design contest held during the auto(r) automotive design conference.

The body of the car is made of two polycarbonate layers – one outer and one inner – with layers of liquid cristals, LED diodes and electrochromic foil (film) inbetween.

This enables Moy to display both static images and videos, so that it can be used as a new medium of communication or promotion.

As Elvis Tomljenovic explains “The idea behind MOY concept is that everyone can design his own car graphics on his own computer and then apply the design to the vehicle using wireless data transfer or share it with other people through web-site, forum, e-mail etc.”

“To those who lack the necessary skills or time to create their own design, the option of downloading ready made designs is available. “

The vehicles are interconnected, so this exchange is possible in motion. Movement recognition technology enables to draw on the car in real time.

The vehicle is powered by batteries that charge electric motors located in the wheels and controlled by drive-by-wire technology.

The Designer

Elvis Tomljenovic is final year student at the Zagreb School of Design. He is currently looking for sponsors/scholarships to continue education in field of automotive design at postgraduate level.

Communications in the future – Amazing Demonstration of Mind Reading Using Special Headset

WorldInFuture — Sat, 11 Dec 2010 08:36:50 +0000

According to Wikipedia, Mind reading refer to telepathy, the transfer of information between individuals by means other than the five senses.

Mind-reading is no longer science fiction. In the near future we can expect a number of steps to improve communication with the thoughts, and the first step is to talk through our thoughts with the computer.

This system should provide that, instead of keyboard and mouse, we use our brain waves to provide a computer instructions on what to do.

The system looks simple. First, the user has to train the system to recognize his thoughts by imagining a certain action (for example, move the mouse pointer on the screen). Next time the system recognizes that thought, it will perform the action for which it is associated.

View a demo of this system and be amazed. It is a live demonstration where Tan Le’s astonishing new computer interface reads its user’s brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration). She demos the headset, and talks about its far-reaching applications.

In the Future Computer Will be Made Of Only 5 Pens!

Creativity and imagination of people who invent such things are incredible. Something that is so complex as a computer could, in fact, be packed in 5 pens. How is it possible? Just look at images below.

It seems that these are pictures of several pens in the pencil holder. No way to conclude that you are actually looking at the computer.

Just some fancy pencils?

When you look a little closer, it is possible to see that these are not a normal pens. Here, we have some cameras, headset and some fancy looking details.

These pens actually have some interesting details

You need very little time to transform all of these pencils. They now look like they have some other purpose.

Pencils after some transformations

Now we have a keyboard, monitor, and all that is necessary to use our super-modern computer.

Lights, Camera…. Action!

Switch ON

No chance that there is thinner keyboard!

You'll probably have a pain in the fingers due to the hard typing table

Using same technology mobile phones gives you big keyboard

Welcome once again to the wonderful world of human creativity and exceptional technological achievements!
