A Literal Twist on the Flashlight

heavy_flashlight_layout

Douglas Cushing’s concept twists the archetypical flashlight on its head quite literally! Designed with a desire to stray away from the predictability of current products, the Heavy Utility Flashlight features a twisting head that turns the light source on and off.

As easy as a switch might be, it’s also a cinch to operate, especially in the dark. Rather than fumble around with your fingers trying to locate the button, you can quickly guide your hand to either end and give it a small twist to activate. To stay similar but different, its shape is also new. Unlike the cylindrical form of standard designs, it takes on a rectilinear shape that keeps it from rolling away. Its straightforward aesthetic is just as minimalistic as its functionality!

Open Sesame!

Security is probably one of the most brilliant applications of IoT technology. The MUNIO Smart handle brings simplicity of use to this equation to make a door handle that’s virtually trespasser-proof wherein it uses fingerprint recognition technology along with a surveillance camera to engage/disengage the locking mechanism on the door. However, no matter how sophisticated it looks, it’s still bundled in an exterior that is recognizable and familiar. The door handle has a subtle bump in it that reads your thumbprint. Just rest your thumb on the scanner and turn the handle. If you’re authorized to pass through, an LED ring around the scanner will glow green and the door will unlock, if not, tough luck… and don’t get wise with the MUNIO. It has a surveillance camera that records all footage.

Let’s effectively say goodbye to keys and keycards!
