Amazing Animated Water Fountain

I have never seen anything like this before. A water fountain, in Osaka Station, Japan, that can actually display "images" and display the time. It's simply amazing. Click the link for more information.

Knock Clock

Knock Clock from Giorgio Uboldi /// TRUO on Vimeo.

The Knock Clock. I'm not completely sure of the practicality of this device but I have to admit, it's pretty cool. A clock that tells the time by knocks. I just love the simplicity of its design and function but it's definitely not for the fast pace lifestyle we live in our modern society, or is it? Follow the link for more info.

MassMotion, Advance Crowd Simulation Software

Oasys has developed the worlds most advance crowd simulator, MassMotion. It is able to simulate, analyse and visualise how people will move through a spaces. This is definitely a helpful tool for architects and city planners as it would help foresee any problems such as bottle necks and high traffic areas that would hinder the smooth flow of people through spaces. I also find the high quality 3d rendered visualisation to be quite a good addition, as this would allow persons that may not necessarily know what they are looking at to get a visual sense of the information.

G-Shock Watch........Made Of Paper?

Now this watch I definitely want! It's made out of paper for crying out loud. There is one problem........it's not real. Sigh........yes, this uber cool G-Shock watch is an art pieces conceived by the minds at Lobulo Design. Never fear though, I'm sure the good people over at Casio will take note and bring this creation to reality.........then again, technically they have already (Casio G-Shock GA-110) but i still want this paper verison.

Awesome Devon Works Tread 1 Watch

This is one uber cool watch...i must have it. *drool* I personally love watches, especially since it's the only jewelry I wear, and this watch is definitely in my top 5. I love its very industrial design and its clever belt mechanism that it uses to keep time. I must say, not everyone will like the look an feel of this watch but I really appreciate its cleverness that it presents. Unfortunately, all that pizazz doesn't come cheap, so expect to cough up $15,000 for this bad boy (that's a lot of coughing). Check out the source after the break for more details.
