Spend a month in the populated urban vicinity (if you haven’t) and you’ll get to see kids driving hard with mobile sound systems singing loud. Really annoying! But if you have spare amount of dough piling with you then this unusual model of DJ mobile car can be yours. Designed and developed by Dutch artist Olaf Mooij, the creation targets the filthy-rich music lovers. Coming from Western Europe, the Dutch novelty has been abridged by an intelligent mind after taking inspiration from ‘God is a DJ’ and the car of our HOLY-POPE and the result is before your eyes.

Embellishing aerodynamics, the mobile DJ art car nicely accommodate two turn-tables together with number of speakers. On first look, I doubt the functionality of the speakers attached on the face of the car and this arouses my curiosity to meet the Dutch national and ask him to untangle the mystery.

For sure, DJ Mobile car is developed using a drivable PA system that allows you to park and then operate from a DJ platform while hosting it from open sunroof.

Call it a space-crunch issue or privacy involved; folding screens from Japan were measured as no less than a dividing wall to do away with that unwanted presence of objects that may disgrace you upon your guests visit. Let’s confess the fact that despite their purposeful behavior, they look competitively ugly and hence convince us to look for other appealing solutions. Seems Daewoo was silently hearing our needs and therefore have developed DID-FS, a folding screen sporting an LCD video display integrated into each section enabling to to entertain your guests with idyllic Japanese scenery, or clips from Kurosawa flicks.
Further, it gives you the freedom to nosh each sheet with an individual image, thereby gathering the attention of your group of friends with diverse taste. For now, we have no information if the DID-FS will ever be urbanized beyond its archetype phase.

The hullabalo created by men of woman being addicted to shopping is an overt sign of their being envious and a way to hide their unfashionable personae. But ask we woman what all pain we undergo to meet our shopping spree. And upon entering a designer showroom, the aching thought of trying outfits after chasing an unending queue outside trial room almost kills us.
But still hope infuses life into us and we finally rush into the changing room. But within no time, we find ourselves amidst rows of designer dresses and this time picking quite a few with a strong conviction that time we would surely fit in one of those. But no….hot dogs, pasta and other junk food we have had in past is now showing its colors demanding us to look for a size bigger than the last tried. And the process continues until we could manage to find our kind of dress.
Will you believe me that now you don’t have to follow this routine and dull exercise at the same time assuring that you are investing $$$$ for a right outfit. Yes, this would be soon possible via virtual mirror that is expected to shun the need of a trial room.
The ‘Virtual mirror’ enables you see yourself wearing the to-be-picked outfits without even putting off your clothes. Here you go: Put on the T-shirt given by the magic mirror machinist and then opt the design by inserting the particular design insignia on the T shirt. The exhibit then trails the movement of the wearer and records the design of the new attires via its logo and portrays the outlines precisely on the wearer to give the mirror-iamge of what he/she is wearing. Currently, the Virtual Mirror is finding it difficult to produce a pragmatic inkling of T-shirts, shirts or sweaters in an implicit mirror. The technology doing the needful uses composite algorithms to generate 3D images in real-time giving the delusion that the wearer has really put those clothes on.

It seems that the creative minds behind the Han Solo Carbonite Desk cannot sit at rest and hence have lately unveiled Galactic Emperor Throne. Counted five units of this limitred edition throne are avaialbel for sale with a retail value of $5000. It may seem a bit pricey on first hearing but start imagining ruling the galaxy by shelling out this petty sum. And your kingly presence would allow you utter phrases like: “Everything is happening as I have forecasted,” or “Anakin, bring my slippers and today’s newspaper, please?” or “Is my supper ready?”
Understanding the client’s requirements, artists Tom Spina and Richard Riley took insight from essentials of Captain Kirk’s bridge chair from Star Trek and the Emperor’s throne from the Star Wars films and produced this striking creation.
Featured above is the outcome of the designers’ hardwork, Galactic Throne measuring four feet tall and well crafted in routine welded steel. Sporting modifiable plinth, it is accessible to “glide” on 8 veiled wheels.

Each model is customized and can be tailored to the client’s penchant of shade upholstery and other needful options.

Who says that sunbathing is restricted to only pool side “on water and over yacht”? Its time to revise your perceptions and meet Volkswagen, which has lately depicted lot of sunbathing potential in its coupe model: Topos Caddy Sail Design. Volkswagen is geared up to mark a stylish entry to the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon with its Topos Caddy Sail Design Concept. The concept aims at transforming the Caddy commercial van to impersonate the technique and functionality of a yacht. True, the Caddy Topos concept won’t offer you a ride over water but its roof features a sailboat style deck that can be customized for recreation and sunbathing. Against mere pinstripes and wood siding, the designer van cum yacht concept sports a working wooden deck fitted with aluminum rails.

The wooden ladder integrated into the glass offers easy access to the roof complimented by a flexible deck that twists to make an opportune platform to lay down and enjoy the nautical sunbathing. Do let me know your views about the concept and your call on the reality potential involved in it.

If that stale thought of contemporary helicopter being considered as mere compilation of spare parts flying in a fine arrangement bothers you, thereby making you revise your plans of getting one developed then here you may have a sigh of relief. Christened as Sikorsky X2, the first flight of the speedy helicopter was scheduled at the Schweizer Aircraft’s rapid prototyping facility in Horseheads, New York and am glad to share that it was successfully accomplished yesterday. The 30-minute flight was a long anticipated marker as it was initially planned to happen around two years ago.
After the testing is done, it is being said that the dual-propped fly-by-wire speedster will explode through the air at 288mph, crowning it the fastest helicopter ever developed in the world. If all plans successfully meet a reality check then the X2’s makers can consider the thought of its civilian production by 2010. Coming to technical specks, the X2 derives its power from a Light Helicopter Turbine Engine Co. (LHTEC) T800 engine that was formerly urbanized for the now obsolete RAH-66 Comanche helicopter.

With its not-so-new design, the helicopter features fly-by-wire controls and sophisticated avionics that engineers wish will contradict the high tremor issues identified in other coaxial rotor designs.
