“Lupa” is loupe in Spanish, Czech, etc.
It’s fun to design a mobile phone based on a certain concept.

Wild Fold
With Samsung Flexible OLED, how we fold a mobile phone could be limitless especially if it could work as a touch screen.

December Calendar Wallpaper #2
Some News
Some might have already noticed, but I started writing for Johnny Holland. There I’ll write about the concepts of some of the items I introduce in this blog. I’ll also show some sketch in my Moleskine. So check out JOHNNYHOLLAND MAGAZINE. (Thanks, Jeroen!)
Also, Ashley at Fixdit contacted me. Now I can have my ideas rendered in 3D in their site. By clicking and dragging the item, you can rotate it to see what it really looks from any angle! I got also interviewed.
I have lots of stuff to do these days, so I still can’t finish another calendar wallpaper for December that I actually wanted to send to a Smashing Magazine’s Wallpaper Calendar post (but I couldn’t make it). I have several new mobile phone concepts in my Moleskine I really want to show.
Also, though I’m trying to reply to all the image requests I get, it sometimes takes time to reply. Sorry!
Oh, one more. Design Tavern is a blog based website; dedicated to supplying readers with interviews, news and reviews. Henry had an interview for me and made a post about me and my ideas. Thanks, Henry!
Hot Topic Or Not
Is the post you’re reading hot? Then, there must be lots of people watching it.
If not, there are few.
It would be more fun if the characters are pointing at the often clicked areas in the browser.

Tired of Numbers?
Fun, interactive desktop hygrometer and thermometer just for fun.

Announcement
Yuka Nishimura, a famous Japanese vegetable sommelier, happens to be one of my best friends. She was planning to make a website, so I helped her with the design. It’s just launched, so if you have a chance, take a look (all in Japanese). She’s hosting “Vegetable & Fruit Inner Beauty Salon” and has published lots of related books.

By the way, I wanted to create a Xmas animation for every Christmas, but I have to give up this year. If you haven’t seen the movie I made last year, take a look.

Swing, Charge & Study
Swing this many times and you get some electricity to charge your iPhone. This time, its motion censor sends your form data to your iPhone so that you can see your own golf swing animated.
Compare your form with that of Tiger Woods?
Caution: Make sure you are not too close to anyone when playing.

Time-Telling Vibration
This is the mobile phone version of “Touch ‘n’ Know The Time”. Many people use their mobile phones as alarm clocks (including myself), so this might be a little help.
In short, you squeeze the phone and it vibrates for a second. The more “vigorously” it moves, the sooner it is until the set time. So you can FEEL how much more you can sleep without opening your eyes to check what time it is. Oh how lazy we can be!

Oh, this phone? Yeah I thought you’d ask.
If you are ever able to completely customize your mobile phone on a website or something when ordering one, I’ll definitely make mine something like this. Does it remind you of one brand?
By the way, I heard my ideas (fireworks projection and handgrip charger) were introduced in a British TV “Richard & Judy” and a Colombian newspaper “El Tiempo”. Is there a way I can take a look at them???
