ProjectiOne's bubble-wrap bathroom
As a blogger I have to go through hundreds of websites a day, giving me a bad case of short-attention-span-itis. I can't remember the last time I saw even a four-minute video that kept my attention all the way through--but watching the bitMAPS project by design collective ProjectiOne did the trick. Watch as they use vacuum forming and a CNC machine to build out a bubble-wrap-inspired bathroom interior for a client:

frogdesign's vision of 2020: All about the infographics
frogdesign's vision of 2020: All about the infographics: "
The year 2020 seems to be shorthand for the future. In 2008 CNN and Ericsson collaborated on 'Just imagine...what will life be like in 2020?' while 2009 saw the creation of the 'Vision 2020: Considering the World and the Future Architect' project.
This year frogdesign, prompted by Forbes, sounded off with 'Envisioning Your Future in 2010.' Hit the link to check out their ThingBook (augmented reality), Bodynet ('like Google for our bodies') and Whuffie Meter (turning social networking capital into actual currency) concepts.
Incidentally, frog's images remind us of the awesome and undercelebrated infographics laid over Will Ferrell by MK12 Studio for 2006's 'Stranger Than Fiction.' The footage is sadly unembeddable, but you can see it by clicking here.
