Apple, Eat Your Heart Out

The iPro was designed for professionals who need a lot of everything, be it memory, workspace or processing power! If a Mac Pro and iMac had a super-baby it would be the iPro. The best of both worlds with its retina cinema display and careful balance between performance and design. It’s an all-in-one enclosed solution that can still be upgraded or downgraded easily. WARNING: Only hit the jump if you NEVER want to look at your current Apple the same again.

Designer: Kurt Merki Jr.

Remote Computing Reimagined

Solo is portable projecting concept that offers the user access to remote desktop computing power and granting them greater freedom to work away from the office.  Utilising high resolution projection technology as well as touch-surface inputs, the concept reimagines remote working within a single device, perfect for presentations and client engagement.
Functioning as an access device, rather than the computing hardware, allows the user a means of accessing the necessary software and systems they would ordinarily have within a studio while they are away, enabling working from home or working on the fly.
In addition to the individual user benefits the product also features a gesture recognition sensor in the lower portion of the device, allowing 360 degree input recognition—meaning anybody sitting around the device can control what they are seeing.
Initially the user will be required to sync the device with any office hardware which they wish to be able to access remotely, through a software based system allowing login control as a safety precaution. Stored on a contact charging dock in the office, the user can easily grab the device on their way to meetings. On location, the user can set up a workspace, scalable to either individual or group use, and work as if their computer were in front of them. The compact nature of the device makes it preferable over laptop computing and the projection size gives visible advantages over tablet use.

Meet Frame.

Frame is a tablet like no other! Instead of a regular touchscreen panel, Frame has an interactive translucent touchscreen on which information is projected. Now users can harness the power of augmented reality to display an varied array of informational media. If you’re an architect, show your client the home of their dreams against a landscape. If you’re a doctor, show your patient their diagnosis in real time. The possibilities are endless!

If a Laptop and Desktop Made Love

U.DTR stands for Ultra Desktop Replacement, and that’s exactly what it aims to do… remove the shortcomings of both laptops and desktops to form one ultra-versatile replacement device. The most obvious improvement is the “necked” touch-screen that elevates the monitor to a more comfortable height, similar to that of a desktop computer. Did we mention it’s touch-screen?! Other extras include an angled, more ergonomic keyboard, thoughtfully placed ports, and reduced battery weight.

Another drastic re-design of the U.DTR is detachment of the main battery. Because of their large power consumption and longer working periods, desktop replacements are almost always used on a desk, hooked up to the power grid. In this scenario, the huge internal battery sometimes accounting for as much as 50% of the total weight. For this reason, U.DTR is designed with a smaller, built-in backup battery while an external battery provides extended power.

The virtual keyboard has arrived.

What’s better than an ultra-thin, compact, wireless keyboard?? One that doesn’t actually exist at all!! The Lumiquitous mouse system rids your desktop of the cumbersome keyboard, replacing it with a virtual keyboard projected directly on the desk surface. The two mice (one for each side) have a triple motion sensor, beam projector, and optical sensor that detect the movement of the hands and fingers. Because the keyboard moves with the mouse, there’s no more repetitive switching your hand from mouse to keyboard!

Kick your computer to the curb!

Keep your computer cool with Curb- a simple, minimal desktop bar designed to elevate laptops for increased airflow and reduced internal and ambient heat. The scalene triangle shape allows for two different degrees of elevation depending on the preference of the user. A small cutout tidies the power cord and also serves as a stopper for loose cables. In colorful TPE/silicon, it’s anti-slip, soft, and durable enough to throw in your laptop bag.

A backbone for your wrist…

Kakum is a minimal, ergonomic accessory for your workspace that eliminates the need for those cumbersome (and often ugly) wrist-supporting mouse pads. Unlike most stationary wrist supports, the lightweight design easily slides with your arm as you move across the desk. Adapted for the most natural and comfortable position of the user’s wrist while using a mouse, the design improves form and prevents hand and wrist strain over long term use. See it in action after the jump.

Moving Parts Of A Computer

Here is a thought, why confine portability to a laptop, why not have portable desktops? I know for a fact that if I had the chance, my 27-inch iMac would travel with me everywhere. Coming out of dreamland and into reality, here is the Cover Keyboard offering a more realistic way of travelling with our computer. It gets neatly packed into a carry bag and what’s more, the extendable interactive keyboard is really cool! What do you think?

Cover Keyboard is a 2012 iF design – Design Talents entry.
