Dynamism is making its way in every aspect of our living to the extent that even our living room is not untouched with the phenomenon.
Austrian high-end furniture maker Skloib has added another innovation to their umbrella with the White Box design concept. The all new home automation is quite a futuristic concept.

The ‘White Box’ cube is a kind of remote control to keep a tab on all your electric gadgets including the music player, lights, TV and moving presentation areas. To revamp your interiors, all you need to do is ‘turn the cube’. Each side of the cube is pre-programmed for a particular spatial experience, good enough to transpose you into an ‘alive’ interior.

Once the concept of Skloib gets into action your modern murals will turn into huge MP3 players, while the sideboards will take shape of elegant presentation, your wall elements make music and your elegant couch can be play your fav symphony surrounded by mood light and images. Wanna makeover? Just turn the cube and you have an all new interior!

It’s almost everyday that I am coming across one or the other thematic Home Theatre system. Seems the world is going gaga over experimenting with entertainment options and watch movies in a perfect dramatic ambience.
The latest in the league after the Batman and Titanic themed theatres is this all new thing that seems coming straight from the set from the film 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. More than an entertainment den, what one needs to enjoy sitting here is the unique art work and the masterfully crafted furniture.

A result from geek randy moran’s love for the nautilus submarine from the film 20,000 leagues under the sea, led him to create this masterpiece. It was the fascination for that look that he put ‘dillon works inc’ into action and fabricated all the trusses, wall panels, screen frames, and portholes to get the plush ambience.

It seems the USB drive makers are getting too much into innovasion as they are experimenting a great deal with the way they look. Its not just the material used tat is being challenged but also the shapes and sizes that they are available in. Sometime back we talked about the Wooden and precious stone encrusted USB drives and today we have come across the funky animal drives from the house of Minimoo

They are no better than the usual stuff apart from the fact that they are good enough to bring a smile on your face everytime you use one. Those which caught my fancy include the unique Turtle Goran, Fredrick, the USB gorilla, Jan the USB sheep and Maud the USB pig.
The USB drives are available in 1, 2 & 4GB space at the price that range between between $43-$75.
A great gift for your geel friend to make storing data a fun thing rather than the monotonous routine task!Via: getUSB

The early morning act of relieving oneself from all the dietary sins that one commits the previous night in the solitude of his toilet is probably the most important act for the Japanese, since they are obsessed with creating WC systems that are par comparison when it comes to technology used and comfort offered.
The reference here is to their latest wonder, which they have christened as Neoflush600 from Toto. Neoflush offers everything that we had only dreamt off till date. Ordinary meets extraordinary the moment you ride on Neoflush 600. The lid rises automatically, while the jet wash is equipped with heated air dry function ad also the seat where you are going to rest straight from the bed won’t be freezing but comfy warm to welcome you. Hmm…as it this was less, they also give you a wireless remote, I don’t understand for what good, but their must be some catch that you’ll learn after some hit and trial. Last but not the least the cleaning act or the flush is christened as an enormous thing called a CycloneSiphon Jet flushing system that ensures complete hygiene.
Must say…the task will never be dirty and ordinary with neoflush!

I don’t know what to comment about the shifting designer preferences or diverse designer preferences of the gadget maniacs. At some point of time they fall in love with anything and everything that has a touch of bling to it and at the other something as dead and dingy as the skulls and bones catch their fancy.
What navigated my concerns in this direction were these creepy computer accessories from the house of Evergreen that caught my attention at Akihabara.
This set of Web camera, keyboard and mouse brings to live the eerie gothic era with skulls and bones adorning each of them.

If the current trends are considered, it won’t be wrong to say that more than an object of technical utility a USB drive is turning into a fashion statement.
Check out the latest jazzy collection of USB drives from the house of Zana Designes, and you’ll agree what I’m saying.
Their unusual series of USB keys have everything from wood designs to silver linings to those encrusted with “precious stones”. This is not where the uniqueness of these keys gets exhausted; they boast their products to be totally handmade, adding in the element of personal touch and uniqueness to every individual key. Also, no two keys are identical, which means every one using the Zana product is unique in their own way.
As far as storage goes, the USB keys are available in 1gb or 2gb capacities, and are priced anywhere between $64 to $74 for the 2GB versions. Of course, $74 for 2Gb is way overpriced but these USB keys do look kind of luxurious. Hmm…quite a lavish way to store data!

When I first saw me this camera, all I could think was of the good old school days when we flied those helicopter like things made with fan attached to sticks…it was indeed fun!
But that simple toy is no simpler today, as our gadget gurus have transformed it into a funky-techie camera that will click pics at the moment you fly it after rolling out of your plams.

Designed by Tsunho Wang, the stick camera needs to rubbed between your palms to store in some kinetic energy and release it so that it automatically take pictures at set intervals.
Till now there’s no inf about he features and pixels of a the camera since it’s still a concept, that’s awaiting a sponsorship to get materialized into a swingy camera!

Sometime back I told you about the Bat-Man themed home theatre system…if that was not enough to pamper your creative instincts, and the search for a unique entertainment system on your home is still ‘ON’, we’ve got another one for you.
This time it’s nothing haunting and creepy but something regale and royal. We are talking about the ‘Titanic-inspired’ home theatre system. This one is good enough to transpose you into the times of Jack and Rose and their luxurious bars and dining rooms. The 1,230 fiber optic light strands provide the artificial night sky and take you to the lavish bar behind a motorised bookcase.

Other titanic features include a projector and screen to give you a superwide CinemaScope pictures just like the commercial theaters. Not just this, it is tagged as the first CinemaScope with a Vidikron projector.
