The helping hand is an innovative concept device that helps to restore the functionality of a paralyzed upper limb. By wearing it a person, who has lost control over his or her upper limb due to stroke, can do routine tasks like holding objects, eating and even writing. Designed by Joseph Cooper, it works through a neuro-implant in the human brain which transmits signals and controls the device. The users can move their arms, hands or fingers by simply thinking of the action. The straps are designed such that they take their position automatically when the device is switched on. Moreover the device can be put on and taken off by using one hand only making it user friendly too.

I love rainbows! This beautiful phenomenon of light and colors will never cease to fascinate my imagination. But it is rare to come across a rainbow. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I saw one. However, for rainbow lovers like me, who are not satisfied with just pictures of rainbows, the unique book might just do the trick. Made in Japan in 2007, this book requires you to flip through the pages. On flipping the pages, a rainbow will appear to be floating in the air!

Traveling to and fro from one end of the city to the other every day takes a lot of my time. I use this time to get my share of snooze (can you think of anything better than that?). 4 out of 5 times it’s a failed attempt what with everyone on the bus seeming over-excited, chirpy and with an aim to keep me awake, or so it seems. I had to beat them and now I know how! I need a Napper! It’s a hood with masked earphones and Bluetooth lock for your luggage, and NapApp. Also the hood‘s inlay is padded with 3Mesh material, which has a spongy cushioning effect and high shock absorption against the vibrating windows. Isn’t that good enough for you? There is more…

A toothbrush is one of the most personal accessories that we use to maintain hygiene which we would like to keep dust free and clean. We wouldn’t like to compromise on the health issues not even while traveling. This solid aluminum case with brass hinges and a carrying handle created by Dominic Wilcox should answer our above need. It may be a tad heavy but the thought that the toothbrush is neatly packed surely offsets its drawback.

Camping is so much fun and a revitalizing change from our eventful lives in the concrete world. Earlier it was considered nothing less than a task by me as it required a lot of packing up stuff, equipment etc. to escape all this work I would end up giving up on the very idea of Camping or trekking. But this became a thing of the past when I came across the award winning design concept of the ‘Sleeping Coat’. Its dual function makes it function as both a windbreaker and as a sleeping bag. The lightweight waterproof fabric keeps the body tepid and when need arises can be inflated to create a comfortable, sleeping bag.

If you have ever attempted to paint your room or even a small cabinet, you will be aware of what a hassle and mess painting can be. Offering a unique solution is designer Yi Weishen who has designed the unique concept Dissection Paint Bucket. The unique bucket is extremely convenient to use and helps reduce the mess created by the ordinary painting buckets. For starters, the lid can be opened easily courtesy its easy-to-grip overhang. Furthermore, the grip area can be used to hold the lid as a palette and to catch drips, helping you to avoid paint filled hands. Excess paint can be removed with the use of the straight edge of this bucket. What is more, the handle of the bucket is positioned such that when the user pours paint from the bucket, the bucket automatically tips towards a corner, allowing you to avoid unnecessary spills by controlling the flow of the paint. All this, by just changing the shape of the bucket!

UK soccer star Gary Neville is apparently building an 8-million pound eco-home in the Bolton countryside. Designed by ‘Make Architects’ from London, the star is set to explore almost all avenues of the green-dom. The entire structure of the house blends into a seemingly rolling hill, which is a very new thing. Apart from a green roof, and literally so, the house is going to run on solar panels and wind turbine. It indeed is a big investment, but I wonder what’s the point in going green so lavishly. Doesn’t that contradict the whole point of saving resources?

Here is a treat for all the cricket lovers and non-cricket lovers too, according to me, brought to you by BAILS. Well, for cricket fans, this 6 series watch designed for those who would love to flaunt their love of the game and the success number of the game- 6! Styled beautifully, the watch does reflect the number six in an abstract way. As far as the non-cricket fans are concerned, to me the shape of the dial, the entire watch looks interesting, like some kind of trophy cup of something. Go for it anyway! [coroflot]

Designers Lijmbach, Leeuw & Vormgeving have come up with the unique concept Folding bag. The sleek looking bag is made from an aluminum polypropylene composite. The bag gets its peculiar shape from natural structures like that of the armadillo. An unsual design for a bag, its material as well as shape is sure to make quite a few heads turn. Since not much information is available we can only guess about the storage space and compartments in this bag.

Lovepot, a Nanum project, is basically a humidifier that also emits a strong fragranced aroma. This is non-electric and has a tissue ball made from laminated wool felt to fully perform the process of evaporation. While it humidifies the air, it also gives out an aroma. Another feather to its cap is the ability of the lovepot to absorb water fast, thanks to the woolen felt. The best thing about his product is that 100% profits charged for the $30 product will be given as charity to provide educational scholarships to unfortunate children.

Tired of the same old dial centric watches that have no scope of innovation left? Here is one hell of a creative piece of work called ‘Lamina’. They say that the watch has been inspired from nature as well as fashion, and rightly so. The unique system of having the time rotate along the edge of the band rather than in the center and on the dial has seemed to have worked well as far as grabbing eyeballs is concerned. Also the layers on the edge remind one of the layers on the tree trunks indicating the growth.
