This Adorable Flipboard Printing GIF Camera Needs To Be Real

Are you ready to have your heart broken? The GIF-TY camera, designed and built by Jiho Jang as part of his university thesis, is an adorable Polaroid-like snapper that captures animated GIFs and actually prints them out as tiny flipbooks on instant Z-ink paper. Except that for the time being you can’t buy one.


What The Future Of Google Glass Could Look Like

Right now, Google Glass is just a pair of weird looking specs that’s pretty much only used to take blurry photos and Instagram selfies. And that’s okay! The real promise is what comes next. Developers have been getting their hands on Google Glass and have begun to see what they can build with it. It’s the base for the future.


Eight iOS 7 Flat UI Mockups: Is This What Your Next iPhone Will Look Like?

With Apple’s World Wide Developers Conference just a month a way, rumours continue to surface that iOS 7 could see a major UI overhaul. Word on the street is that Jony Ive and his team at Apple are going for a very “flat” look. Since then, many designers have put together some interesting mockups and concepts together speculating on how a flat iOS 7 might look. Some are a bit radical, others seem more realistic. Here are a few of our favourites.


This Beautiful Footbridge Is Inspired By Japanese Hand Fans

Normally, the fact that a city approved a new pedestrian footbridge for construction would be rather, let’s say, pedestrian. But when the bridge in question is also a “kinetic sculpture”, things get more interesting.


Someone Finally Made A Better Paper Coffee Cup

As simple as it is, you’d think it would be nigh impossible to improve on the paper coffee cup. After all, as long as it holds coffee without leaking, what’s there to improve? Well, designers Hongseok Kim and Inhye Hwang found a way, by adding a tear-off stir stick to the paper handle.


Confidently Crack Your Eggs With A Yolk Separating Whisk

Some recipes call for just the white stuff when you’re cooking with eggs, while others need just the yolk. And if you’ve yet to master the art of using the egg’s shell to separate the two, you’ll be hoping Ivan Zhang’s clever Whisk’ concept becomes a purchasable product.


An iWatch Concept Has Never Looked This Good

We’ve got just about as much (or really as little) information about Apple’s fabled iWatch as we ever have, but it never stops being fun to fantasise a little. This latest concept whipped up by designer Martin Hajek has got to be the best — and most Apple-like — we’ve seen yet.


Tangible Alarm Smartphone Dock: Shove To Snooze

It’s early morning. Your phone is screaming at you. Unless you open you eyes and seek out some the right little virtual button, it will never stop. But the Tangible Alarm could bring back the eyes-closes snooze-button flailing of days gone by.


These Mathematical Lawn Chairs Make For The Most Comfortable Equations

There’s an easy solution to your lawn chair equation: making those suckers out of pure maths. Well, maths and plastic.


This Fully Loaded, Column Of A Kitchen Is Actually Becoming A Real Thing

With populations growing and cities overcrowding, space-saving designs are amassing a huge, highly lucrative following. The only problem is that they often stay just that — designs. But after being unveiled at the recent Milan Furniture Fair, at least one innovative appliance is leaving concept land to become a reality: Ecooking, a fully functional, vertical kitchen.
