Check out this amazing futuristic PC concept, the Bridge PC.

The Bridge PC is designed to support communication, via person to PC and person to person and is designed to bridge the gap between people.

This system realizes that to embrace evolving technology, the development of interacting with it must evolve, too. With this in mind, a slide out interface features a curved ergonomic panel that graphically and functionally changes as you navigate through various tasks on the display. This streamlines the input process and promotes expandability and customization within the interface. Interaction with the PC is further enhanced through gesture-like motions disassociated from today’s typical press of a button input.

The Bridge PC features a slide out interface and a curved ergonomic panel that changes the way you navigate through various tasks on the screen.

This is a stunning concept, I love the futuristic design.

Check out this cool concept keyboard from designer Kong Fanwen.

This cool keyboard features no actual keys on the keyboard in the traditional sense, instead the keys are flat and the interface is designed to work like that of the iPhone or the Microsoft Surface PC.

The keyboard is made of glass and is completely flat, there is a built in camera which senses where you are typing and then translates this information to the computer.

This is a great concept, very stylish and would look great on anyone’s desk, I just wonder how usable it would be without any tactile feedback.

For example if someone was using their car horn the wearer would be alerted immediately and the direction of the noise would be identified and shown on the watch.

The Vibering is also able to detect and translate a numer of phrases to the wristwatch, for example if someone was calling their name, the Vibering would be able to alert them of this.

Home telephones are always pretty boring, well designer Tao Ma may have the answer with this digital photo frame with integrated telephone.

When not in use, the device works just like a normal digital photo frame displaying your favourite pictures.

Remove the handset from the frame and a digital keypad appears on the touchscreen of the frame for you to make your call.

The frame can also recognise who is calling you and display a photo of the person calling.

This is a great concept, lets hope some manufacturer spots it and puts them into production, as I would much rather look at this than my boring house phone.

Here’s a useful concept that would actually work really well if it was made, the Wire Button.

Plenty of designers have attempted to fuse fashion with gadgets. Most have been unsuccessful with often designs that were either complicated, cumbersome or just plain ugly. Here is an item that is simplicity at its best. The “Wire Button” by Jaehyung Hong untangles your headphone cables for your listening pleasure and looks subtle enough to avoid being branded a gadget geek.
