Eye am You

via jarashi

Eye am You is an eye glasses-shaped toy with a camera. Once the camera detects a face by the facial recognition program, the display device on the glasses shows captured eyes of the face. When user turns his head toward someone else, eyes of the user become the eyes of the person. This experience is very surprising and makes people surrounding the user laugh. It is also possible to enjoy by capturing eyes from illustrations or comics. The concept this toy is “We see reflections of ourselves in other people.”

The End of Driving

“ATNMBL is a concept vehicle for 2040 that represents the end of driving and an alternative approach to car design.

ATNMBL is short for Autonomobile, a title that merges Autonomy with the Automobile. Upon entering ATNMBL, you are presented with a simple question: “Where can I take you?” There is no steering wheel, brake pedal or driver’s seat. ATNMBL drives for you. Electric powered plus solar assist, with wrap-around seating for seven, ATNMBL offers living and/or working comfort, views, conversations, entertainment, and social connectedness.”

With each embellishment of the fabric with sequins, swarovski crystals and beads hand sewn carefully onto the fabric, a JBL garment on average will take about 120 hours to make. All of her garments are handmade in workshops in Lagos, Nigeria.
