Asus Lamborghini VX2 Notebook

The VX2 is designed to give users not only the impression of the Lamborghini spirit but innovative materials and details are incorporated to make the notebook look, feel and run like a supercar. The sensational design starts with the signature colors of Lamborghini yellow and black with each one cast with aluminum-magnesium alloy and carbon fiber, respectively. The special mirror painting surface of the LCD cover not only gives the notebooks an automobile finish, but it also enhances toughness of the cover.

Upon opening the notebook, users are presented with glare-type LCD display, metallic keyboard and a leather bound palm rest area completed with yellow stitching just like that of a car interior capturing the Lamborghini luxury in a new tactile way. Speakers placed on the sides of the keyboard deliver a distraction-free audio performance. Rounding up, the fan lid of the notebook located on the back adopts the wheel rim concept, giving the practical feature a touch of ingenious creativity.

Cypres Mobile Phone

When the technology evolves and its appearance is reduced, a new space is born between us and the mobile phone. From the mobile phone to the pendant, from the pendant to the mobile phone; various possibilities are created utilizing a “bluetooth” connection. A mobile phone packed with information and precision parts emerges in a new space.

As I find the view of a snow-covered town beautiful, when a colorful and precise semi-conductor material is covered with one skin, it shows a new expression. The optics which emerge from the surface is a decor that is precisely worked. Not decorating cosmetically, but changing the expression of what is originally there. I want you to feel a new expression of the cellular phone.

Evolutional Mobile Entertainment

In the 21st century, humans can not live without technology. However most gadgets are cold and lack vitality. The missing element is something called “evolutionary possibility”, a way to add a more abstract humanistic approach to how electronic gadgets are used and grow. Currently people already enjoy the many functions a singular device has but if that device could some how evolve in a natural, esoteric way, the gratification from using those functions would increase.

The EME designed by Shao Wei Huang takes that approach in designing a mobile device queued for video, music, and gaming. A dual screen setup is used in tandem to fit whatever function is currently being used. One screen is embedded on the outer shell. The other slides out from underneath. Used singularly, the shell displays functions for calling and basic manipulation of data such as contacts, photos, etc. Sliding out the second screen lets you access secondary data. Turning the whole unit sideways turns it into a portable gaming device able to mimic any control scheme via touchscreen.

The “evolutional” aspect comes from th EME’s ability to expand its feature set if the user shares his/her experiences with other EMEs. That could be in the form of videos, music, or games. By doing so, bigger speakers would unlock and slide out, the screen may even become higher-res. The idea is to encourage the device’s evolution by exposing it to as many experiences as possible.

Cellphone Inspired

As flexible displays come to market, designers are asked how they can design products that utilize the technology while remaining meaningful. Yun Liang’s scroll cellphone takes its inspiration from how traditional Chinese paintings are unfurled.

When not in use, the display neatly rolls into the tube. All numeric key functions remain tactile running along the side of the scroll as opposed to touchscreen. This makes it possible to use without having to unroll the screen. You would only do so when accessing media and data.

S-series - Sleek, Sophisticated Mobile Phone

Today’s range of phones leaves a lot to be desired in terms of design, the aim of the game being to cram as many functions as possible into a lumpy box of endless buttons.

The S-series however steps back from this approach and sets off in a radically different design direction by combining sleek, sophisticated styling with top quality materials all put together in a compact package, to make the whole experience of looking at and owning the phone just as pleasurable as using it.

The phone is aimed at people who want to stand out and make a statement, without compromising on features. Designed in such a way that almost every key feature, from using the camera to making and receiving calls, is easily operated without the need to flip out the keypad and waste time.
