Exoskeleton Watch Was Inspired by Armors and Skeletons Characteristics
A very cool watch design, Peter Fletcher has done it again with his latest concept: Exoskeleton watch. From the name itself, you might know it was inspired by armors and skeletons characteristics, it features plate like armor design for the main body. The gaps between these plates are used to display LED lights that tell the time.
The time here is displayed either in digital or 12/5/9 format using stripes of LEDs, it makes the watch looks like coming out of a sci-fi movie. Visually interesting, those stripes of LEDs would also look really cool when doing animations. Any fans of anime, mecha, and gaming would love this futuristic watch, guys love it, and so will girls, thanks to jewelry like bracelet design. The armor look combines 2 intuitive time telling methods that set this watch apart from others.

Audi A 2.0 Concept Electric Car for Future Young Generation
Audi A 2.0 is a concept car that targets young generation from 18 to 30 years old. It’s the result of 15 months Master in Transportation and Automotive Design in Politecnico of Milan sponsored by Volkswagen and Audi. The main idea was to design an aesthetically pleasing and dynamic car for young adults, the designers started by analyzing the iconic brand characteristics as well as the target’s needs. The robotic technology also plays important part here as the team took inspiration from that, they wanted to play with the shape contrasts of Audi where the higher part is clean and smooth and the lower one is sharp cornered and refined. The interior of this electric car is focus more on smart technology and connectivity, it can accommodate up to 4 passengers even though the dimension of the car is actually reduced.

Airbelt : Wearable Safety Airbag Protects Its User’s Body In A Crash
Airbags have been designed to protect adult’s head in a crash, however, there are no protection system that can be worn just like a belt. Rich Park has come up with the idea of wearable airbag called AIRBELT, it’s a new protection system that protects its user’s body. Since it’s a wearable device, motorcycle riders can wear them to increase their safety without sacrificing the comfort of riding the vehicle. It’s a smart way to protect motorbike driver from injuries in the event of accident such as spinal injuries, breaking bones, etc. The Airbelt automatically inflates during the impact to protect most of the user’s body with an airbag, it can also be used as children’s car seat belt to protect them.
