Timeless Box: The Perfect Present & The Ultimate Hiding Place In One

Hey everyone, welcome back to Infooomph. Christmas is in the air and so you’re probably already busy with preparations. And rightly so because it’s never too soon. We all try to choose the best presents and hide them as best as we can. Which makes it all the more disappointing when despite all your efforts your kids discover your secret hiding place behind you’re back. And come Christmas time, their lack of excitement betrays that they already know what you’ve bought them. Today we’re going to kill two birds with one stone; we’ll show you the perfect present which incidentally happens to be the perfect hiding place in and of itself.

The gadget is called Timeless Box and it was developed by Honest & Smile. It’s name should give you a pretty good idea of what we have here. It’s a very durable aluminum box that can essentially hide your presents until time itself grinds to a halt if you so wish. Just as a side note, this feature makes it the perfect time capsule as well but that’s missing the point now. It was originally designed to hide your perfect present from prying eyes and fiddling fingers until the time you set the box’ timer to. This feature alone should bring Christmas back to life, full of excitement and thrill.

But of course the possibilities with the Timeless Box are endless. Apart from its obvious functionality of safekeeping presents you want to give to your beloved ones, it can be used to keep your own presents away from you if know you wouldn’t be able to wait until Christmas time. And of course it is a very clever and useful Christmas present in itself. Just make sure you put something inside if you want to give it to someone as a present. Otherwise if they find out that they’d been waiting for an empty box all along, they might not appreciate the fact that the Timeless Box was their present in the very first place.

If you want to know more about the re-giftable Timeless Box, hop over to IndieGoGo where you can pre-order one for just $103. They even sell titanium boxes if you think aluminum just won’t cut it for you, they cost $603 a piece. The concept is still a start-up but it seems like a fabulous idea to me. I hope you enjoyed today’s post. If so, please follow us on Facebook or Twitter and share your thoughts with us about the Timeless Box below.

Lightboard: Transparent Glass Chalkboard Revolutionizes Education

Hey guys, I hope you’re enjoying such a wonderful weekend. Today I’d like to take you back to school for a bit. I’m sure you remember that back in the day teachers were using chalk boards most of the time. The main problem with these was that it forced the teacher to turn his or her back on the students every time he wanted to write something on the board. Not facing your students while at the same time covering the board with your back is an invitation for trouble. I remember the outbreak of whispering and confusion every time the teacher would do this.

And this is where Professor Michael Peshkin enters the equation. He is a mechanical engineering professor at Northwestern University and he came up with an amazing solution to this problem. He single-handedly developed the clever device he calls the ’Lightboard’ which is essentially a transparent glass board that he can write on or and project images onto it from his computer. The best part is that he can do that while facing his students and without covering the Lightboard with his back.

The technology behind the Lightboard is mind-blowing, really. It is essentially an architectural glass panel that is being lit internally from the upper and lower edges by LED lights. However, thanks to the total internal reflection technology, the LED lightwaves never escapes from the inside of the glass. They’re constantly reflected by the inner surface of the glass. The result is that you can’t see any light inside the glass panel; it looks just like an ordinary glass board. That is, until you draw something on the surface of the glass with a fluorescent dry-erase marker through which light can finally escape the glass panel. This creates a glowing effect on the surface of the glass where the light was able to break free.

I think that Michael is really on to something here. The Lightboard provides a solution to many inconveniences teachers face every day. The best part however is that Michael calls the Lightboard an open-source hardware, meaning you can just use his detailed construction guide and make your very own Lightboard at home. I hope you enjoyed today’s informational post about the Lighboard. If so, please follow us on Facebook or Twitter and share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

The Human Regenerator: Welcome To The Future Of Anti-Aging

Let me ask you; what is it that scares you most? The answer to this question probably depends a lot on your personality and experiences but I think there is a common ground for all of us; aging. For obvious reasons we don’t like getting older. It inevitably brings us closer to the end of our journey when we have to "check out" if you will. So not surprisingly technology has been working on the issue of human aging for a while now. And brace yourselves, the time may have come when we have cracked the code to – well, not yet immortality – but longevity.

As its name suggests, the World Luxury Expo presents the latest and most expensive innovations in technology every year but this year it was even more exciting than usual. A German company called System 4 Technologies Gmbh announced its latest device called the Human Regenerator that is capable of slowing down the aging process of the human body by manipulating the cells at the level of quantum physics. The ground-breaking technology is called the Quantum Cell Code which should give you a good idea about the precision and power of the apparatus. I won’t bore you with the details, not that I completely understand everything about it myself, but apparently the device is really able to preserve youth.

The Human Regenerator was of course a huge success this year. And to stay true to the name of the event where it was announced, the device displayed at the Luxury Expo was decorated with 1.4 kilos of cut small diamonds. That’s altogether 172,000 pieces of diamonds covering the surface of the bullet-shaped device. Needless to say the Human Regenerator is strictly limited, only 50 have been produced so far. And as we can expect from its scarce supply, the price is a whopping $557,000 per piece. Well, eternal youth is a luxury not everyone can afford, I guess.

But what does this mind-blowing technological innovation mean in the grand scheme of things? The way I see it, the Human Regenerator brings us one step closer to ever-lasting youth and therefore immortality. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing is up to you to decide. If you enjoyed today’s article make sure you check out my other stuff here at Infooomph.

Think Big: The Path To One Billion Dollars {Flipbook}

Everybody wants to make more money. It’s true that money doesn’t make you happy, but without it you can’t afford the things that will make you happy. Things like time with your family, the ability to pay college for your kids or a healthy diet among other things all cost money. So naturally, we all try to hit it big. The questions is, how big is big? And can you become that big? Today I brought you a collection of case studies that will hopefully answer both of these questions for you and motivate you to take action immediately.

If you check out the flipbook below created by eBay Deals, you’ll see that it tells the success story of the five richest people alive today. Their net worth will probably blow your mind as they’re all worth much more than one billion. These people no doubt made it big and not only that, but many of them succeeded against all odds. So let’s take a look at two billionaires who were dealt a bad hand by fate but refused to crumble under the many unfavorable circumstances and eventually made their fortune.

Let’s start with a lady we all know, Oprah Winfrey. If you check out her page in the flipbook below, you’ll see that she was born to an unwed teenage housemaid, ran away from home at the age of 13 due to abusive family members and fought her way all the way up to the top with her engaging communication skills. Oprah is the world’s first black billionaire. Then we have Li Ka-Shing, Asia’s richest man who was born to a refugee family living in extreme poverty, survived tuberculosis at the age of 15, worked 16 hours a day to support his family, and therefore has no formal education whatsoever. Wasn’t that a mouthful? And all that said, he became Asia’s richest man.

So the answer is definitely yes. You can think big just like Oprah Winfrey and Li Ka-Shing did back when they were struggling with poverty. And let’s not forget – you don’t need an annual billion dollars, right? You probably wouldn’t say no to a million dollars a year, right? I mean when you think like this, the deck is suddenly stacked in your favor. I hope you liked today’s inspirational article here at Infooomph.com.

Overcome Your Fear Of Heights: Challenge The 4,700 Feet High Tianmen Glass Skywalk

Hello everyone, I hope you’re ready for a thrilling adventure today. We’re going to put your courage to the test and awaken the daredevil within you. We’re all afraid of something and we all know that feeling of triumph and adrenaline rush that washes over us when we overcome our fears. That’s exactly what the Chinese residents of Zhangjiajie, Hunan must have felt when they first set foot on the 4,700 feet high glass skywalk surrounding Tianmen Mountain.

Seeing how this fragile-looking glass construct is a whopping 200 feet long, I can’t help wondering how they built it up there in the first place. The Tianmen Mountain path itself is of course much longer, it’s 5 miles long but it will seem negligible compared to the thrilling minutes spent on the transparent skywalk itself. I remember a few decades ago when supermarkets first started using transparent tiles for skywalks on higher floors, my natural alarm went off every time I approached one of those. This Chinese glass skywalk is probably the perfect adrenaline trigger for people with fear of heights.

But it’s all worth it. Once you muster up your courage and take the first step to prove your frantically resisting mind clinging on to dear life that it’s safe to step on a transparent floor 4,700 feet above the ground, you’ll be amazed by the scenery. We all know that China has some breath-taking natural sights but you have to see it to believe it. Check out the pictures below and you’ll understand where I’m coming from. That beautiful view alone is enough to make it worthwhile to overcome your fight or flight reflexes and walk onto the Tianmen glass skywalk.

Defeating our fears every once in a while is not only healthy but empowering and inspiring at the same time. Tianmen Mountain and it’s beautiful surroundings is the perfect motivation to lure out the daredevil in you. I’m pretty sure that this skywalk is a bucket list candidate for me, how about you? What do you think about the glass skywalk surrounding Tianmen Mountain? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

What Would 12 Of The Greatest Artists Look Like Today?

Hey guys, have you ever wondered how our legendary artists would look like today if they hadn’t died so young? I don’t know about you but I miss the soothing melodies of John Lennon or the epic tones of Kurt Cobain and sometimes just for the sake of nostalgia I imagine them being still with us. As we often say ’the good die young’ and in the case of many of our most talented musical geniuses I couldn’t agree more. Of course we’ll always remember them because they live on in their art – but let’s imagine what they would look like if they were alive today.

Sachs Media Group and Phojoe made an admirable effort to use the latest computer technology to imagine the elderly faces of famous artists in the most biologically correct way. When I first saw the 12 pictures of our most iconic singers and musicians, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The pictures were as photorealistic as it gets. It was almost as if these geniuses were still alive and I was just checking out their profile pictures on Facebook. If you haven’t done so yet, now would be a great time to check out the 12 pictures below.

The portraits also showcase the current state of technology when it comes to photo restoration and manipulation. Judging by these 12 artificial photos I think we can safely say that it won’t be long before 3D animations or holographic images of our beloved musicians perform on stage once again. I think that these portraits are not only realistic but also a great way to remember and celebrate those incredible people who blessed us with their talent for many decades until their untimely deaths.

While these artists are immortal through their music, it’s always nice to pay tribute to them and keep them front of mind. Apparently Sachs Media Group and Phojoe were trying to do just that and they did a great job. In fact, I think it would be great to see set of other famous people such as Martin Luther King and others. What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.

Public Arcade Storefront: The Ultimate Social Gaming Experience

Hey guys, I hope you’re having a great week. With Christmas just around the corner store owners are bending over backwards to display something unique and memorable that will hook passers-by to their storefronts. Today I’d like to introduce a man who created a storefront that became the ultimate public attraction of Belgium. He is called Kris Temmerman and he lives in Antwerp, Belgium. His Neuro Productions office happens to have a huge front widow overlooking the streets; just like a storefront. However, unlike most people, instead of covering it with curtains or posters, Kris did something really cool and unusual with his big front window – he turned it into an interactive arcade storefront.

His private storefront is essentially a public arcade. Anyone can stop by Kris’ window and give his pixeley games a try, in fact there’s usually several people standing in line waiting for their turn to have a go. It’s no wonder of course; with a 16*90 matrix of WS2812 LEDs inset into a laser cut grid, his display packs quite a punch. With the bright display and smooth, engaging social gameplay, the nostalgic aesthetic of his games’ pixeley art is just icing on the cake. And the result is, as you can see on the pictures below that Kris’ public arcade storefront attracts a lot of people.

Many people have large windows overlooking crowded streets but few of them would see it as an opportunity to turn it into an entertainment haven for people. Of course Kris will have to think of something to protect his public arcade console from rain and snow but for the time being, it’s the ultimate social gaming experience for the residents of Antwerp. It’s also worth noting that Kris isn’t very concerned about punks stealing or vandalising his public arcade because apparently such acts are very rare in Belgium.

I’m sure store owners of Antwerp are trying to crack the key to Kris’ success at attracting so many people in such a short amount of time. The funny thing is that Kris didn’t have anything to market or sell – he only did it because he wanted to provide entertainment for others. That’s the real Christmas spirit right there. I hope you liked today’s inspirational post. If so please follow us on Facebook or Twitter and share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

Apple Harvest: iPhone 6 Concept Design With Three-Sided Display

In the past decade or so Apple has single-handedly redefined the way we think about design. So it’s no surprise that whenever they announce a new product, people’s imagination goes haywire and all kinds of mind-blowing design concepts go viral on the web. This time it’s all about the iPhone 6. People are sating their curiosity with homemade design concepts from all around the world. For today’s post we picked a person who sets himself apart with a bold design choice in his concept design; a three-sided display.

The designer is a Russian gentleman by the name of Iskander Utebayev and he chose to include the much anticipated screen design that wraps the touch screen around the device in a three-sided fashion. That means that the display will wrap around the sides where the volume button and the switch off button would be. Iskander has also added several new quick launch icons to the side displays including a shortcut to the calculator, the flash and the alarm clock. Other than that Iskander’s concept design follows Apple conventions and delivers the sleek, gorgeous design that we’re used to.

Thinking back about the iPhone’s evolution up until now, unfortunately there’s little chance that Apple would take a design step as bold as going with a bezel-less display. They usually play around with the thickness or thinness of the device but rarely touch the tried and trusted fundamentals. That being said, it seems that Samsung is planning on releasing a smartphone with a three-sided touch screen in 2014, so it could be that Apple is also thinking along those lines. We’ll just have to wait and find out.

At any rate, Iskander’s iPhone 6 concept design is a pleasure to look at so make sure you check out his YouTube video below. Even if Apple won’t use it for the iPhone 6, someone will surely pick up the idea of the three-sided display and incorporate it into their product in the future. If you like the idea of side displays, stay tuned for the new Samsung model coming out in the second half of  2014.
