Emotive Mind Control Headset(concept)

This mind controlled headset called the EPOC is an human computer interface. Using this device you can instruct your computer to perform tasks as you think of it. At first, you have to train the software for the device by thinking of different commands or kinds of action and movements you might want to carry out in a video game.

This will map your brain activity using medical technology. You can then play your game by just thinking - in a handsfree way.

D:Scribe pen

A designer has put pen to paper and created a concept fountain pen that allows users to write and send emails directly from a sheet of A4. Aside from fulfilling all your standard writing requirements, the D:Scribe pen’s designer Reuben Png also envisages it being able to recognise and capture text and drawings. Users would be able to capture and then transmit their poetry or masterpiece drawings over Bluetooth, simply by writing the recipient's name and then circling it.

The idea is that the data’s then sent to your mobile phone, from where users can choose how to pass it on, such as in email or text message format. An OLED display built into the pen also helps you keep track of the message's progress, after you've clicked on send. One potential hurdle is character recognition, and anyone who remembers Apple’s Newton MessagePad will know how problematic that can sometimes be. The pen’s storage capacity isn’t known, but let’s not forget that this pen is still a concept design.

Future Gadget Control through Human Brain Activity

The new technology, known as optical topography detects the changes in brain blood concentration and translates it into voltage signals that can be used to control the operation of electronics devices. During the demo, the user is required to wear a special fiber optic helmet with infra sensor that sense the blood change (reflection of brain activity) and then translate it to drive the movement of the electronics train.

By utilizing this technology, there are various useful applications that it can take advantages of. One of the examples is for the disabled to control the artificial limbs or operate electrical wheelchairs with mind thinking. However, there are some challenges that the researchers need to face before it can be implemented to the end product. The brain structure is so complicated that the detection mechanism really needs to be refined through many experimental and research before it can be precisely used for more complex operations.

Althouh the usage is very much restricted to medical field in current stage, but Hitachi expects it to be available in commercial market in near future.

Cell Phone in a Pen – The Cell Phone that Writes

Vibering

The concept of Vibering is based on helping people with hearing difficulties by vibration, the whole set consists of a wristwatch and two rings. How it works is quite simple and has been illustrated in the gallery below. The rings worn on either hands are used as sound detectors, detecting sound from either side of the person’s surrounding and environment. When sound is detected from a particular side, then it warns the user that something like a car may be behind /near them by vibrating.

The Vibering is also able to detect and translate a number of phrases to the wristwatch, so the watch will act as a ‘communicator’ for the user, for example if someone was calling their name, the Vibering would be able to alert them of this.

iBangle Puts The iPod On The Wrist

The iPod is already pretty forward looking in terms of design, but designer Gopinath Prasana decided to take things a little bit further with the iBangle concept.This iBangle design concept is a little bit daring as the design fits right on your wrist instead of clipping to your belt.Don’t let its loose look fool you, the iBangle won’t easily slip off like other “clip-on” MP3 players. Apparently, that tiny blue button that you see in the illustration somehow fills the blue area with air, so it fits snug, but hopefully not too snug.

This MP3 player comes in the form of a - you’ve guessed it, a bangle, and features a multi-touch track pad for you to control your playlist. Guess this is a fancy version of the iPod Shuffle since it lacks the physical real estate for a screen or projector to keep you entertained with movies, so only songs will have to do. Since everyone comes with different wrist sizes, the iBangle boasts a cushion within that inflates so that it is able to fit into just about any wrist snugly.
