Bio-inspired Icebox

Frigido is a radical refrigerator that takes inspiration from our very own cardiovascular system! At the “heart” of the upright, circular design is a cooling system that distributes and circulates refrigerated air to each of 6 compartments that surround it in a pie-shape. Each compartment is used to keep specific food categories, each with their own temperature and humidity requirements. This brings more attention to food quality, freshness and overall organization that’s particularly ideal for smaller households.

Designer: Sakly Sadok

This far-out design, called Nanopack, offers a new way to store leftovers in handy, cube-shaped packages. It consists of googols of tiny nano-robots which have the ability to rearrange themselves to create solid forms.

The Future of Google Nexus 360 Smartphone

Here is a very grounded look at what can be the future of a Google Nexus Smartphone. The concept – Google Nexus 360 – is rooted in reality and can be commercially viable in a couple of years, if we put our minds to it. The concept hopes to eliminate the need for multiple devices and takes wearable tech to the next level.

Inspired by innovative technologies like Molex, Dai Nippon Printing, Solicore and LG, this Google concept transforms from a mobile phone into a wearable Smartwatch device.

  • Flexible polymer OLED display: offers great usability and vibrant visuals.
  • Embedded Bluetooth headset: can be docked on the side of the device, and draws power from it for charging.
  • An integrated fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor: take care of security, health monitoring and sleep tracking. Integrated sensors and apps capture related data.
  • A tube camera that’s on your wrist: makes shooting easy, and allows snapping pics from different angles. The same high-resolution camera doubles up as primary camera, along with shooting selfies.
  • Always-on e-ink display on the side: makes sure users don’t miss out on notifications.
  • Designed for all-weather use: IP67-certified for resistance to the elements.

Hardware specifications of the Google Nexus 360:

  • 5-inch Full HD resolution display but with a wider aspect ratio of 2.40:1
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 801, quad-core processor with clock speed of 2.5GHz
  • 3GB of RAM
  • 64GB / 128GB storage options (non-expandable)
  • 16- Megapixel rotating tube camera with LED Flash and software Image stabilization and support for 4K Video recording
  • 4G/ LTE connectivity
  • Dual Band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC
  • Biometric fingerprint scanner embedded under the home button
  • Optical hart rate monitor at the back of the device
  • IP67 certified device
