The Computer Phone Is Here Posted: 11 Oct 2012 08:13 AM PDT What I like about the TPM VIPNI Concept P.C.P. Professional Computer Phone is that the concept is not 'inspired' by any existing design. Moreover it features components and aspects that are envisioned with existing and available technologies. Essentially this means you can build this powerhouse of a Pocket Computer Phone, right away! Designer Imran Sheikh has a clever twist to the name VIPNI; turn it 180-degrees to find it spelling “INdIA”! Very clever! Detailed Features are here: x86 on ARM concept Keyboard Blank button Bottom-line numeric keys for semi slide mode Gaming keys inclusion Split mouse Top-Bottom Desigm Central 3d camera placement Redesigned stylus Tap Controlled UI Bottom fold capacitive mouse Dual camera button Professional ports for multimedia professional - video in (blue); audio in (yellow); audio out (Red) a totally redesigned Back cover/stand Designer: Thepowermachines Here are the features you would like to know: The OS of choice for TPM VIPNI is Microsoft Windows 8 Pro (not Windows RT for ARM), which Dual boots along with the secondary mobile operating system Windows Phone 8. This is possible with the power of "ARM" because this whole system is powered by Quad Core ARM Processor. The main purpose of the TPM-VIPNI PCP is to provide power of X86 & usability of ARM in one device at the same time. The problem with X86 processors is that they are less energy efficient and emit lots of heat while on the other hand ARM processors are powerful yet more heat and energy efficient. So what we did in TPM-VIPNI is that we used ARM Processor to power a full blown X86 Operating System i.e. Microsoft Windows 8 Professional (not the ARM one). Original "TPM.KEYBOARD.1" design keyboard This keyboard features: A full QWERTY layout Designed with all PC keyboard function and control keys Integrated mouse with three mouse buttons Integrated gaming keypad Grip angle key rotation Relocated numeric keys for semi slide to reveal Operates in two modes: Feather mode (capacitive mode) for fast finger typing Thumb mode for thumb press typing Integrated Mouse Features: Original dual located mouse i.e. buttons at one position & mouse pad at other position Gives user a comfort of using both hands in mouse operations Even useful for designers and hardcore gamers Integrated Gamepad Features: Unique arrangement of buttons and keyboard design keeping usability for hardcore gamers in mind without losing the functionality of QWERTY layout. This gives users a unique experience to switch between gaming and professional work without hassle. Blank Button: This keyboard is designed with a blank button and it is not there by mistake. The reason I added this button on keypad is for times when we need to keep screen or monitor awake for something important but the screen turns off due to timeout. Unique bottom line positioning of numeric and function keys (win) Speakers are located in both top and bottom, so you never need to worry you held the phone correct or not. Just pick up the phone and answer and the call. TPM-STYLUS-1" is simple yet effectively designed stylus with a unique design and high precession. It occupies very less space inside TPM-VIPNI. Central Placement of 3d Camera at the back which gives you the perfect judgment of what you are capturing. TPM-VIPINI has a new feature of "Tap Controlled Buttons". This Tap Controlled System is based on accelerometer built inside the system. The UI is fully TAP Controlled in Mobile mode as well as Touch Screen mode. The major difference between a Tap and Touch screen gestures is that "the touch screen gesture will work on a touch as it should but a Tap controlled UI is controlled by an Accelerometer which detects a Tap and ignores the Touch gesture". The device is logically divided into four quadrants (yes, the whole device and not just the screen. refer diagram below).Tapping in different regions on a fixed combination will issue commands like "Home", "Back", "Menu", etc. For e.g. Double tapping bottom left quadrant will navigate screen to "Home". Double tap on bottom right will open up "Menu" and so on. The Tap Control works in two ways: Pattern control – i.e. the device uses a fixed pattern of taps at fixed spots (four quads or center) of the screen to issue a command. Rhythm Control – The device uses a fixed rhythm of unique taps on any part of device to issue a command and control it. You can record these custom tap rhythms. TPM-VIPNI's touchpad is a unique mouse touchpad because it's the thinnest and foldable. The unique design is obtained from a multi touch capacitive tab which smartly folds to the bottom. So it will only appear when required. - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world! Yanko Design Store - We are about more than just concepts.

Go!SCAN With Innovation! Posted: 11 Oct 2012 06:00 AM PDT Go!SCAN 3D is the latest innovation in white light 3D scanning; promising to be the easiest and fastest 3D scanning experience ever. The scanner comes with three key functions termed as TRUsimplicity, TRUportability and TRUaccuracy. The scanner is an able tool for designers and is fitted with innovative LED technology. The key features are elucidated after the jump. Features: Handheld white light 3D scanner features intelligent hybrid positioning and yields great results when used towards both industrial and non-industrial applications. Point-and-shoot: no preparation or complicated setup is required. The scanner is up-and-running in less than two minutes. Affordable and up to 10 times faster than standard 3D scanners. Can be used by anyone without prior experience. The software provides visual guidance throughout the process, ensuring quality results. Handheld and lightweight (1.1 kg), it fits into a carry-on case, so you can bring and use it everywhere. Dynamic referencing means that it is possible to move the part during scanning and that no rigid setup is required. It provides accuracy is up to 0.1 mm, for results you can count on regardless of the work conditions or environment. Benefits to Innovation and Designers Heritage Preservation: 3D scanning is used as an easier and faster medium to obtain all the 3D models you need. This helps designers in heritage preservation endeavors and replications. This is done through Archiving and Digital Curation; Art and Artifact Restoration and 3D Virtual Museum Arts & Architecture: 3D opens up a lot of possibilities for artists, sculptors and architects. The Go!SCAN 3D is highly and is easy enough to use. It does not require preparation steps, and produces very precise, high-quality 3D models, making it especially suited for the artistic realm. 3D CG & VFX: Go!SCAN 3D can be a part of the 3D modeling process. Whether handmade models, items needing to be replicated exactly (for instance vintage cars), human shapes to be integrated into 3D animation, elements for motion design, or props, the Go!SCAN 3D can quickly and effortlessly provide these quality models to both the video game and movie industries. Serious Gaming / Virtual Reality: The Go!SCAN 3D is the fastest, easiest and most reliable way to obtain highly-detailed and authentic 3D models used in the gaming world. Test it out! You can download the free 3D models and test them out: try them in your workflow; open them in your software. This is the best way for you to get familiar with the use of 3D scans in 3D modeling, and see the output for yourself. - Yanko Design Timeless Designs - Explore wonderful concepts from around the world!

Bowlgami Posted: 11 Oct 2012 12:01 AM PDT You don’t usually think of the most basic of items as having potential or the necessity of being modular (especially when it’s something as simple as a bowl) but here’s a design that works. Inspired by a type of origami that uses a modular system to create various, infinite forms, the Modular Bowl can be customized to any size simply by combining triangular units. Perfect for modern spaces, the multifaceted segments create a striking geometric visual that’s distinct from other platters and presentation bowls.
