Autonomous Food Trucks of the Future

culinary_coach_2

This far-out food truck concept is a fresh take on everyone’s favorite mobile culinary craze! It’s all about autonomy and designed around Pizza Huts’ conceptual UI. Customers can actually enter the food trucks and witness their food being prepared robotically in a safe, sanitary enclosure. To create their perfect pizza, they use a gestural interface to literally swipe ingredients on to their creation with help from an on-board “barista” who guides them through the process. When they’re finished, out pops a piping hot pie!

Designers: Cody Moore, Jordan Jones, Yulin Liu, Aditi Vyas, Tom Rouine & Fernando Zeledon

This grooming kit is Man-tastic!

beast_grooming_kit_1

The Beast grooming kit isn’t for the faint hearted. This set of grooming tools is made strictly for the alpha male, with its chiseled, sharp forms and matte black demeanor. The grooming kit has a very ‘Don’t Mess’ quality about it, and comprises a beard trimmer, nose-hair trimmer, razor, and a brush+bowl set. Even the product branding is designed to intimidate and dominate!

Designers: Cody Moore, Keith Costa & Emmorie Jossie.

Sound that you can Stack

encircle_speaker_1

Any external Bluetooth speaker you buy, you’ll always notice one thing. It’s usually always a singular product. It may be stereo, but it’s one brick-shaped product, not tow individual speakers. That’s because getting two speakers synced to one device and play the same music with sheer accuracy is actually quite difficult. However, it isn’t impossible. We’ve covered Bluetooth earpieces here on Yanko that are truly wireless, and they work great, but no one carried that tech forward to portable audio systems. The Encircle 360° speakers however allow you to blast music from multiple locations. The speakers come as one unit, but are actually multiple speakers bundled in one. Just unstrap them and place them at various locations and your entire house can become an instant discotheque with perfectly synced hi-fi audio in true surround sound. ‘Sounds’ like a dream come true!

It’s a Date

We all have our ways of remembering important events in our lives. Setting reminders on our mobile devices, writing in journals, and some folks simply rely on Facebook for those. But sometimes, there are those special occasions that have even more meaning, like your first kiss with your partner, first date, e.g., and you may not want to have it posted all over social media, but you want to be reminded of it throughout the day. So, let me take you on a Datelight tour.

Datelight was created by designer, Cody Moore. He first created the light for his sisters as Christmas gifts, but decided he wanted it to be more than just any old lamp. Datelight is more than just a lamp, it works in conjunction with the Datelight app on your mobile device. Just enter in dates that are important to you, which then syncs up with the lamp.

On a normal day, Datelight glows simply on the inner circle. On those days where reminders are set, it will glow on the outer ring as well, and if the day is of even more importance, the lightning will illuminate the wall even more. You have control of those memories. However, if you can’t quite remember what that reminder is – yes, we’ve all been there, you simply rotate the raised section of Datelight counter clockwise, and the event details will be displayed. Great idea, and the design looks to be a really nice addition to any interior design style.
