Nissan Round Box Concept

Going to the bar for relaxing can inspire you with great design after all. Take a look at nissan round box concept here, Nissan said: “The car was inspired by the lively atmosphere of a sports bar. In a sports bar everyone is focused on the game for pure enjoyment. They are totally free of the pressure and tension felt by the players who are actually playing the game on the field.”
“A sports bar affords an enjoyable, stress-free space where friends can experience a sense of togetherness. Simultaneously, they can enjoy thrilling excitement like being on a roller-coaster yet without any risk involved. That is the sort of emotive world the Round Box is intended to provide.”
As a youth-oriented compact convertible, the Round Box provides occupants senses of speed and exhilaration, by adopting ‘Road Surface Window’. It’s unique, it’s funky, it’s
futuristic

Audi Virtuea Quattro Concept




Audi tried to combine hydrogen-powered concept with artificial intelligent, one seat only, this car has the ability to drive by itself without any help from the driver. Skinned in chrome, the Virtuea Quattro is powered by hydrogen somehow (details apparently aren’t required for this thought experiment) and has the unique ability of displaying the holographic exterior of any car throughout history, though Audi would prefer if you made it look like the R8. Special thing about this car is the “brain” that has the ability to change its own hologram body, which mean, yes … you can change the car’s body just with a single push button, hologram only of course but still … very cool concept isn’t it ?

Using Recycled Materials, Nokia Remade Concept Phone ..


Green design from Nokia, this concept phone is almost entirely made of recycled materials, aluminum cans, old plastic bottles and car tyres for the rubber keys. The first prototype showed at Mobile World Congress show in Barcelone by Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo. Although it is clearly that the inside chipset and electronics won’t be made from old tin cans, at least this ‘Remade’ Nokia concept phone will consume less natural resources and more energy efficient by cutting the power used to back-light the screen.
Too bad that this phone is just a concept phone, hopefully we can see this green mobiles in the market soon.
