Turn off the light and listen. Light Pool is a mobile phone that can create a fantastical world through the fusion of light and music. The 22 LEDs arranged along the triangular windows that cover the surface of the phone blend with the rhythm of music to create a gorgeous scene. Masakatsu Takagi is the visual artist and musician who pioneered the creation and direction of the light and music. Light Pool comes preset with 10 kinds of light and sounds based on a variety of themes which can, according to your mood and situation, transform the space you are in now into a world where you feel relaxed and refreshed by yourself, or where you can comfortably spend time with a special someone.
60 different patterns of light sketch a kaleidoscope of colors the moment you receive a phone call or open and close the phone, as well as flashing on the hour to let you know the time. Such light patterns exquisitely encompass the spaces around the phone, organically changing its expression as if it had a life of its own. Designed to shape your everyday life in comfort, Light Pool represents a new relationship between you and your phone. Turn off the light and listen.
If you have an old mobile phone that you care so much about and you chose not to throw it away, but to keep it as it is, a designer from Ireland, Sadhbh Doherty has found a solution to your problem. He created Arcque. An ingenious way to dispose of used mobile phones. The main idea was to find a solution to encourage the return of used mobile phones to manufacturers. This small bead, is what you receive back from the manufacturers, and it stores the digital memories the phone held. It houses the personal messages, pictures and music the phone once stored. We carry our mobile phones everywhere, we use them to communicate with friends and family, listen to music, watch movies and pictures, and sometimes even surf the Internet. Once the phone has reached the end of its life, the files stored are lost along with it. Arcque returns these digital memories to their owner, rather than using monetary gain. The bead contains a memory chip, and the Bluetooth chip from the phone. Its activated by a kinetic motor, if you shake the bead it powers up.
Designer : Sadhbh Doherty
When enough power has been generated, the bead emits a wireless signal which can be read by a Bluetooth enabled device. Thus the user can access old phone memories. The outer shell of the bead is made from a plastic derived from pulverized circuit boards, and the detailing around the center piece of the bead is made from some of the copper found inside the phone. This center piece comes in different materials, regarding the period the phone has been kept without being used. For a period of more than two years, the finish is silver and if the period is more than three years, the finish is gold. Arcque is also a fashion accessory. The center piece is hollow, this enables the user to wear it as a shirt button, a ring, as earrings if the owner had two used phones to return or as a necklace. The variety of fashion accessories this ingenious bead can be attached to is endless, is all part of the users imagination. Arcque not only helps the users dispose of their used mobile phones properly, but also gives them the possibility to wear their digital memory in a beautiful and unique way.

Case Study1: After giving a lot of effort, doing several editing on the paper according to time-to-time requirements, John, the chief editor of a printing agency, went to his client’s office to submit the final design. His client was very much satisfied with the job but wanted to change only few words here and there. John had to get back to his office, do the one minute editing, print the copy and submit it again driving an hour to the client’s office.
Case Study2: Eric was finally submitting his annual term paper to the school and just before handing over the paper, he found mistakenly he placed two ‘r’s in his name. He had nothing to do but tearing his hair off since that was the last day of submitting the paper and he don’t have enough time to rectify the error on the very first page of the report.
In both cases, Sonic Mobile printer might be a way out but alas, neither John nor Eric had one. Through its compact size and shape, this ultra-portable printer can be conveniently taken and used anywhere. Aside from the ability to stand vertically, the two spring-loaded doors ensure ultimate space efficiency by converting into paper holder during printing. When not in use, these doors protect the printer components on the go. Due to its small size, the printer can print only letterhead size paper (8 ½ “ x 11”) and can hold up to 20 sheets at a time which is very much adequate in case of emergency printing needs.
