Voice Memo With Benefits

Vmo is quite a clever way of combining Voice Memos with QR Codes and Smartphones. Basically its a way to mark and capture data, be it voice or visual, and then revisit it at a later date. Essentially this means, if you are in class and taking notes, you may also want to record the lecture, so you tab and the recording using a supplied QR Code Sticker (that nestles sweetly in an allocated space in the smaprtphone jacket), scanning the code and readily accessing it later. The video below explains it all.

The designers explain, “The market strategy is to set a range of Vmo sticker prices depending on the file size (i.e. length of voice recording). In a nutshell, we actually sell the web space bit by bit, which store the info or voice on the net. Cloud service plays the main role behind the scene. We view cloud service as a potential market. Focus on realizing users’ dreams and let them “taste” vocal memories wherever they are, whenever they want by means of cloud service connection. Vmo is not merely an amazing product design but a whole new cloud service design strategy.”

USE:

  • Step 1: Write the info on the Vmo.
  • Step 2: Stick Vmo on your stuff.
  • Step 3: Record the voice and scan the code.

A Different Camera Perspective

The FANs Cam is a pint-sized camera that brings more to the table than being just a spectator. The mini camera clips onto the collar of a sports player’s uniform and hooks up a livefeed to the fan on the stands. It gives the fan a perspective of the game that they’ve never experienced before. The video is accessible after a simple scan of the QR code printed on the back of the game’s ticket. You get the option of picking your favorite player using the smart phone, and get instant access to what that player sees.

It even functions as a performance recorder for the athletes; they can play back the recorded videos to review the game. Athletes or the coaches can then identify their strengths and weaknesses and develop their training program accordingly. Coaches could also alter their team’s strategy mid-game based on views from different players.

The camera is user-safe and crafted with an exterior shell made of rubber. It is made from a lightweight and elastic clip form and the aluminium offers thermal conductivity. Energy is provided by a high-power thermoelectric chip, which generates power both from the athlete’s body and the ambient temperature.

FANs Cam is a 2012 red dot award: design concept entry.
