Shi Shuchi and Bai Wanjun have designed the Cute Case, a compact and portable electric vehicle that can double as a suitcase. The lightweight and efficient vehicle is a stylish design for the electric vehicle that will dominate our roadways in the future. The electric vehicle can also be used as a trolley case and a suitcase, and can even be charged on buses or even on subway cars. Not only is the Cute Case eco-friendly, but it is a smart and stylish way of getting around a busy urban environment.

A plant can be self-sufficient when it lives in its natural environment. It converts sunlight into nutrients with a process called photosynthesis, and needs the occasional rain shower to keep it hydrated and healthy. However, when kept indoors, plants can no longer fend for themselves, and need help to survive. BotaniCalls is an ongoing collaboration between scientists Rob Faludi, Kate Hartman, and Kati London, from New York City. BotaniCalls is a new technology that allows plants to communicate directly to people through the phone. A soil moisture sensor and a phone device allows plants to alert their owners when they are in need of water. Through this innovative technology, a plant will never die prematurely again.

The German designer Silke Hilsing has created a flexible display called Impress that allows us to interact with technology on a deeper level. The display features force sensors compressed between layers of foam, and the user can interact with the images by pressing on it. The sensors on the touch-sensitive Impress communicate with an overhead projector, and react to the intensity of the user’s pressure. The display has many uses, including modeling 3D objects simply by changing the intensity of the pressure on the display.

Carton is a symbol of consumerism and it is a material that highlights the abundance of materials in the world. It can contain food or objects of any type; it can be thrown away and recycled later on. But this time, it has been used as the main protagonist in the artwork of a young Chilean designer, Carolina Pino. Carolina is a brilliant NYU student, splitting her time between Santiago, Chile and New York. Her project is named “Shellhouse Living Portable.” The carboard house is equipped with a circuit that transmits radio signals and transforms a simple box into a traceable internet device. Through the internet connection, the “shellhouse” is visible online and traceable through the city on google maps.

The Russian architecture company Arch Group has designed a single-person booth for taking a nap in a busy urban environment. Aptly called Sleepbox, the units could be rented for between fifteen minutes to several hours, allowing both travelers and busy businesspeople to stop and take a break. Sleepbox was designed to be installed in busy metropolitan locations, such as airports, railroad stations and shopping centers. The unit consists of a bed, desk, television, WiFi, lights, and a ventilation system, providing maximum comfort for those who seek a quick recharge or a good night’s sleep.

The motorcycle industry has finally produced the environmentally friendly version of the electric car. It comes from Craig Bramscher’s Brammo, and it is called Enertia. It is capable of covering distances of over 45 miles, can be used by plugging the electric battery into a wall, and has enough speed to be taken onto the highway as well as a very lightweight body, making it ideal for zipping around crowded cities.

Honda, the Japanese car manufacturer, has unveiled their new 3R-C electric vehicle concept, which was designed to address the problem of urban mobility. The 3R-C is a fully enclosed single-seat three-wheeled vehicle, powered by a lithium ion battery. Its design offers stability and even cargo space for efficient urban transport. The 3R-C’s clear canopy serves as a cover when the vehicle is not in use, and as an enveloping and protecting windshield when in motion. The vehicle offers zero emission commuting, and is an example of how we must find more eco-friendly modes of transport in our ever-growing cities.
