Inspiration and creation of Mac Funamizu
There is no reason not to follow your heart.
Steve Jobs
There won’t be a road on the way because a road is where you walked along.
No existing road that you can see is yours.
But as long as you have a heart, you’ve gotta follow it.
I am following my heart.

I want an iPhone dock that can change its forms reflecting various kinds of notifications needing attention as well as some simple controls for applications. The feelings you can get with that kind of tangible output & input are what touchscreen lacks.
Koriko is a simple iPhone stand with speakers and a flexible long arm (tail?).
Notifications are represented with the tail forming simple shapes.
When a song is played, it works as music control buttons you can push directly.
It not only changes forms, but also makes certain movements for some time. It waves good-bye when you turn it off.
There are so many possible other applications that would work with Koriko. It would be really fun to see it working.

I was really impressed with the idea of the New MIUI Lockscreen. So I thought of something fun myself. Note that this is a concept.
Last year I had a chance to work on the design for an iPad app “ABook” (A as a letter “A”) and its related products. ABook is an iPad application that helps you create and distribute multi-media contents for the iPad very easily. With ABook you don’t need expensive softwares or skills.
Here I introduce what I did.
The app logo: “books” as “cloud”
App screen samples
Website managing multi-media contents
Power Point brochure
Thank you, AgenTec!
There are a number of drawing iPhone apps available, but I think it would be fun if you could paste the picture you draw on a real wall, but virtually.
Draw a picture with your iPhone.
Choose the wall you want to paste the picture on.
Point and paste the picture. Resizing possible.
Share it with people on an online map.
Or share with only the person you choose. And if you want someone to go to a place (physically) to see the picture, just choose “local share” only.
This is just like an old bulletin board outside and might work well if you want to convey your feeling to someone.
The images can be seen through your iPhone just like usual graffiti from any angle.
Thank you again for the great photos, *momoc.

I like Fandi Meng‘s great “Sunny Flower” concept very much and was inspired a lot by the design.
It’s a solar charger for an iPhone. Based on Fandi’s design, I made it work also as an iPhone stand.

This is simple and it might have been used already, but I really want to paste a post-it on a desktop icon so that I won’t forget what I should do with it. So if anybody knows a plugin like this, please let me know!!
Post-it colors, font size should be customizable just like “Stickies” (a default mac application).
Quick Look (a quick preview feature) or hover the cursor to see the enlarged image of the post-it.

iHammock
I use my iPhone at work and at home. When I’m at work in the office, I can’t make it ring loud when there’s an incoming phone call or an email, so I change the setting to the silent (vibration) mode. But when it vibrates on my desk, it makes even louder noise than a beep, so I was thinking if I could make something soft to put my iPhone on so that it doesn’t rattle when vibrating, and thought that a hammock style would be fun. It looks like your iPhone is relaxing on a hammock, so I added a parasol that works as a solar power battery charger. You open and flip the parasol in the sun to get electricity and close and fix it on the hammock to charge your iPhone.
“iHammock”?
Just for fun again.
iAcqua2
Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a 3D screen that displays stereoscopic images of music visualizer and stocked photos when your iPhone is docked? It’s like a combination of my old ideas (snow globe screen and iAcqua).
3D screen and a speaker
Cover flow in the water flow?
OC
This one tilts a bit when your iPhone is docked, making the speakers and the transparent screen float.
It tells you when there’s a phone call and an email by rocking from side to side.

Maybe I’m into projector concepts.
It’s an iPhone stand with a transparent touch screen, speaker and projector.
Dock your iPhone at the top.
Tilt it slowly to either side and your photos, songs or movies start running one after another at random like water coming out from a fountain. Each image will disappear in a few seconds. You can touch a photo to see it, a movie to play and a music icon to play the song.
Now turn up the faucet and when the dish is full, the images will be spilled on the floor, which are actually projection from the stand. You can also tilt the stand to spill images little by little to a certain direction.
And now you can play with larger images.
When you play music, you can see the visualizer working. Spill the visualizer on the floor and you see “full-screen” projected visualizer!
