Your desktop, console, and mobile games all in one place… that’s the vision behind the LUDI controller

Posted on by

The LUDI is an incredibly ambitious concept that could easily be every gamer’s wet dream. Imagine having one console to rule every gaming platform. Your Google Stadia games, Apple Arcade games, Microsoft xCloud games, Steam games, all in one device. LUDI is a handheld controller that docks your phone into it, turning it into a renegade Nintendo Switch, but with the capability to work across platforms. The device comes with an aesthetic that’s comfortable to look at an even more comfortable to hold, with all the controllers you could possibly need, from a D-pad, dual analog sticks, XYAB buttons, and two shoulder buttons on each side. LUDI’s independence makes it work across platforms, compatible with both Android and Apple phones, while its internal slider allows it to expand to fit XL phones too. It comes with its own audio-unit, with speaker grilles on the back to give you rich gameplay audio, and even packs a large battery pack and wireless charger that keeps your phone powered for longer while you’re gaming, because the last thing you need is a low battery notification while you’re in the middle of an intense, nail-biting battle with the enemy, am I right??

A Delivery Service That’s Kind on the Environment!

Posted on by

There are some days where we just don’t feel like cooking, and at these times it is likely that we will turn to the two-wheeled delivery services that weave through the congested city streets with staggering efficiency. But what if we could utilize this ever-growing service, and harness the power from the sheer number of riders to improve the world around us? Well that’s exactly what Aira has been designed to do!

Aira is a sustainable delivery scooter that features a purifying stone to contribute to the elimination of atmospheric pollutants! The stone, which has been developed and patented by PVT is prefabricated using recycled materials, further increasing its positive impact on the environment! Surely a material as cool can only be found on a product that looks the part? Well Aira certainly does; its tubular design with a matte finish features eco-conscious airless tires, which absorb impact and provide comfort when riding across the worn streets of a busy city!

A Sustainable delivery scooter

Aira is a sustainable electric scooter for food delivery mainly. By using the paths of thousands of delivery every day just in China, Aira contributes to the elimination of atmospheric pollutants thanks to its purifying stone (see details below).

Purifying Stone

This stone is made from a special high resistance concrete prefabricated called ecoGranic. It’s a technology developed by PVT. It actively contributes to the elimination of atmospheric pollutants.

This technology is very efficient in the elimination of nitrogen oxides (NOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM). This prefabricated product is environmentally friendly. It is produced with recycled materials, among others, especially from construction and industrial sectors.

Sustainable Process

ecoGranic combats pollution through a process similar to the photosynthesis of the plants.

ecoGranic is made in two layers. Attending to the composition and thickness of the surface layer, it guarantees a high decontaminating efficiency during more than 25 years, in spite of the usual abrasion processes. It turns damaging gases into harmless compounds for human health and environment, through a natural oxidation process, chemical agents free and with an endless effect in time.

Airless Tires

Tireless, durable and eco-conscious, Aira’s tires are supported by a mesh of spokes that are made of thermoplastic resin. The material is flexible and durable, and best of all, it’s 100-percent recyclable! This flexibility allows Aira to absorb impacts during the delivery and to provide a greater driving comfort.

911 for Coffeeheads

If you’re one of those people (like me) who can barely make it to 10:00 am without getting the shakes, this design is for you. An evolution of the original, the aptly named “Daily Addiction 2.0″ makes no apologies for satisfying those ubiquitous caffeine cravings.

Whether you’re in the car or on a camping trip, the portable design makes it possible to enjoy a hot cup of coffee just about anywhere you can get your hands on water. Simply add coffee or tea to the reusable capsule and fill the kettle section with water. Then, heat your water using the USB-C port on your laptop, power bank, or wall adapter. Once boiling, give it a twist and watch the water drain down. Keep the black gold to yourself or fill up your work neighbor’s cup!

A More Pleasant Way to Start Your Day

Posted on by

bird_smart_clock_layout

Waking up to the gentle, melodic song of a bird is far better than the repetitive blare of the alarm on our phones, but for city dwellers, the latter is sometimes our only option… until now!

THE BIRD is a beautifully designed alarm clock that allows for the user to wake pleasantly to the distinctive song of a bird, no matter where they live! Not only does this lead to a potentially better start to their day but also stops the phone-screen from being the first thing that the user sees each morning!

The seemingly, button-free design may have you asking questions regarding operation… but that’s all been considered; set-up and control are all done on the user’s smartphone, which can rest on the wireless-charging base. The alarm is snoozed or turned off by lifting the wooden bird off its perch, a wonderful method of interacting with the device!

As well as acting as a far more relaxing alternative to the cacophony of noise that usually comes from our alarms, it also makes for a lovely addition to the room!

Bringing Independence Back to Sufferers of Parkinson’s!

Posted on by

ALBERT is an ideal companion for individuals with Parkinson’s disease as well as their loved ones. The design harnesses the power of haptic feedback in order to prevent a problem known as FOG (Freezing of Gait) in which the individual becomes stuck and immobile for no apparent reason.

One interesting trick that sufferers have learned is to create a type of rhythm (whether it’s haptic, visual or sound) to bypass FOG and continue moving. For reasons that remain unclear, it helps users regain motion. Using this technique, the cane creates a rhythm that can be felt through minute vibrations in the handle. Other signature features include a convenient charging station that can be mounted on the wall to hang the cane out of harms way, built-in GPS tracking that lets loved ones stay tuned in to the user’s location, and an emergency beacon to alert medical personnel in the event of a serious problem.

“It has been proven that once any type of rhythm is established (be it haptic, visual or sound), Parkinson’s suffers avoid all kinds of issues related to the FOG. This is Albert’s function, it helps users regain confidence in their mobility through haptic feedback,” design studio Miio explained.

This Chair’s No Ugly Duckling

Posted on by

Every so often you stumble across a furniture design just a tad too late and kick yourself for not coming across it sooner. I just purchased a new desk chair, so that’s exactly what I’m experiencing right now as I’m admiring the Swan chair. Grrrr.

It takes elegant inspiration from the creature of the same name. Though contemporary in construction, its atomic legs give it a familiar mid-century feel. It’s not so far out that it won’t fit in with the rest of an eclectic collection of furniture pieces.

Unlike other designs with a full back, it offers support only for the essential lumbar and dorsi muscles. While its sectional construction makes its material and color combinations limitless, the grey felt, clear acrylic and raw wood is our favorite by far. Don’t miss out like me – contact MIIO Studio to see how you can get your hands on one!
