Add a new dimension to driving with the Maverick, a car that has the capability to be both driven and flown.  The Maverick, a car originally designed for transportation in frontier areas where roads are scarce, has a top speed of 90 mph and weighs less than 1,000 pounds.  When faced with dangerous terrain, the Maverick has the ability to fly over it, thanks to its central telescopic mast.  With the flip of a switch, the engine power is diverted to a rear-mounted five-blade propeller, and the Maverick can take flight in only 300 feet.  With its driving and flying capabilities, the Maverick could be the next frontier in transportation.

Straight from the laboratory and onto the runway, Spanish designer Manel Torres has developed spray-on clothing, with help with from the clothing company Fabrican and chemical engineers at Imperial College London. The fabric, made using a mixture of glue, polymers, and short fibers, can be sprayed on the body, leaving a thin film of wearable and removable clothing that can be washed and re-worn once dyed. The spray-on clothing will allow designers to create new and unique garments, and embodies the collaboration of fashion and science.

Tex Avery’s cartoon from 1953, TV of Tomorrow, brings us on a tour of the possibilities of interactive television. By incorporating TV into hobbies and pastimes, such as fishing or playing bridge, this cartoon predicts a future where we can interact with our television, and it can even interact with us! While none of these creative ideas actually exist today without the help of a video game console, it proves how even back in the 1950’s, people saw how television would soon become an integral part of their lives.

A team of design engineers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s (MIT) SENSEable City Laboratory have developed an intelligent wheel which turns a normal bike into an electric hybrid one. The Copenhagen Wheel does not require any batteries or wires, and is controlled directly through the user’s smartphone. The Copenhagen Wheel becomes a natural extension of one’s everyday life, as it constantly sends feedback about the user’s effort and supplies information such as relative humidity and road conditions.

Swiss Designer Florian Krautli has created a carpet that uses the human body as an antenna to play music from the radio. The Human Antenna is a carpet made of loops of conductive thread that picks up radio waves; when a person walks on it, the body receives the waves and makes them audible. The radio can be tuned to a specific frequency by walking or sitting on different spots on the carpet. The Human Antenna is an innovative example of how technology can transform everyday objects into an interactive tool.

Students from the College of Science and Technology at Deakin University create the home of the future: a compact house with adaptable rooms that will change as needed, and a shared garden and patio for up to 4 members of one family. The house has a single room, but at the same time possesses a dining room, office, living room, bathroom, and more! The students created the concept of “modules” so that the environments are “assembled” in accordance with the time or need.
