One Loud Table
From the creator of Pepper Knuckles and Music Blocks comes this wild and crazy table for your music collection. It’s called “Amusity” and it’s rather full of music and amusement, if I do say so myself. The designer Idan Arbel says that this is a tangible user interface coffee table for your entire music library. Toss it all on there and let the circus begin.
You can play music videos, access information on the artist, song, album, etcetera, and using such information control the flow of the songs. Meta data like popularity and genres control the way the music is displayed, with popular songs in the center, rarer songs emanating outward.
Activating one song or video will reveal a list of possible paths you might take toward other recommended songs, and then there’s the objects.
The objects are what control the music and video. The circle pieces are the speakers (really nice speakers it seems from the video) – wherever you place them on the board, that’s what song plays.
The Rectangle with antenna are the ones that activate the music videos. You can place them both, or just one at a time. There’s a plus object that shows textual information, and a dome that controls the view of the whole situation, allowing you to zoom in or out.
Fun!

For Want of a Lunch Tray
The cafeteria was lost! What do you consider when you think of a lunch tray? Flat. The plate sits on it, the cup of soda or beer sits wobbling on it too. Well what if it was a bit more minimized? How about if the only kind of food you were eating was noodles, rice, a meat, and some dipping sauce? I know that’s what I eat when i go to my favorite restaurant. Well check out this simple design called the “Palate” – made for cup safety!
It’s a strange game, the restaurant world. Each place has its own method, it’s own plate for its own food. I’m sure you’ve used the circle, the rectangle, and even the separated squares of the school commons tray. But how about this one? What say you? While you’re walking, there’s not much chance anything’s gonna fall off, the pop is safe, and the dipping sauce is right there in the middle when you wanna get in.

My Little Lockie USBee!
What’s the consensus, do you use external harddrives to keep your information safe, or do you trust the USB? Or GASP do you keep your important information on your computer itself?! This is blasphemy. This is madness! Your stuff can be totally accessed there! Don’t you know about the dreaded hacker gang Gonna Getchas? They’re harsh. Well! Designer Yun Hwan Sung has a handle for you. It’s called “Bill’s USB.”
What does Bill’s USB have to do with informations security? It’s a lock! Turn one knob, turn the other, and when the combination is hit, you may access the USB. Simple as that.
Oh and it’s a ring!
Quite clever, yes?
