A concept is a concept – it can go as far (or as short) as your imagination takes you, but we are glad to say that the Eye Stick concept is definitely not a short sighted idea. In fact, this concept can be said to be a “lightsaber” of sorts to the visually impaired. You will not be able to use it to slice your way through just about anything, but you can still give a good whack over the head of whoever is being a nuisance to you.
Basically, the Eye Stick relies on rays and ultrasonic sensors to help measure the distance between you and an item in front, for example, a wall or a set of stairs. It is meant to replace a cane or other walking stick, where it delivers a far longer range image of the user’s surroundings. Not only that, the Eye Stick comes with a camera that will help scan barcodes of an item through said camera when one is at a departmental store, where this information will then be sent via Bluetooth and converted to voice so that you know what you are holding in your hands.

Concepts are definitely an area that we love to check out, considering how everything does not need to remain bound under the natural law of physics. In other words, you can come up with the most outlandish ideas because somehow or rather, in that particular version of reality in your world, this is how things work. Well, a group of young design students in France are the ones behind this Bugatti Type Zero electric car concept that you see above, which is definitely drool-worthy.

Now here is a conceptual idea that you might want to embrace when it comes to adding some spice to your daily life – designed by Jun Fujiwara who hails from Tama Art University, this particular bottle is simple in its usage, although the design itself can be said to be absurdly complex, as it has a very heavy reliance on software to handle the recording, storing, and playback of audio tracks. Using it is a snap – all you need to do is uncork the device, and should there be sound in the vicinity, it will get to work right away, recording whatever it “hears”. The more individual sounds that are recorded, the better, as an audio database is formed where tracks can be automatically selected to create rhythmic tracks, turning this into a somewhat miniature robot DJ stashed into a tiny jar. Playing back your “creations” will require you to uncork the top and a little bit of waiting. The whole idea of this Re:Sound Bottle concept is to help folks interact more directly with music through the recording of audio in one’s daily life. That’s very zen.
