Futuristic Car UI Concept

Matthaeus Krenn, a talented product designer from San Francisco who has come up with his own concept for a car user interface. Matthaeus turned his idea into a video, in which he presents what truly intuitive car interface should be. In his eyes, icons are dated and obsolete. Therefore, he has replaced them with finger gestures to take advantage of the touch screen technology. Depending on the number of fingers that touch the display, different functions are activated.

For instance, if you touch the screen with two fingers, you can control the volume, and when you add one more, you can change the music source. Swiping on the screen is more intuitive than staring at the small display in order to find a small button reponsible for heating. Additionally, it allows for eyes-free control so drivers could focus more on the road.

Are 3D-printed fingernails the future of manicures?

I am seeing a future where teenage girls get together to do their nails, but instead of polish and a brush they gather around the family 3D printer. The Laser Girls have proven that this lifestyle is not as far away as we may think. The design duo, Sarah C. Awad and Dhemerae Ford, create, print, and ship 3D printed decorative nails.

Made to be used in the same way as acrylic nails, these are made from dyed nylon and sculpted using a 3D printer. They are continuously coming up with new designs that you can check out in their online store.
