Citroën Eco-Luxury Sedan
Coventry design student Ankit Prashar is looking for work, and we’re sure he’ll find it after completing his final project. His concept of a sustainable luxury car is one that, surprisingly, hasn’t really been touched on too much despite an influx of ideas about the future of eco-cars. What we absolutely love is his take on the Citroen logo by incorporating the double chevron into the front fascia. This zero-emissions luxo-cruiser would be powered by in-wheel hub motors, not a unique concept but certainly one whose day is drawing closer. The 1-2 seating layout is also familiar, having been used in both supercars and concept cars alike; Prashar likes the layout because it allows for extreme comfort for the rear passengers without elongating the vehicle. The Jean Nouvel-inspired glass roof is definitely the aesthetic centerpiece of the car; looks aside, it is designed to filter the sunlight entering the interior to form a unique pattern that gives the impression of the sunrays passing through trees. All you need to do is supply the chauffeur.
Mag + Prototype
With E-Readers gaining in popularity every year, it was only a matter of time before magazines got their digital treatment. Swedish technology company Bonnier has unveiled it’s prototype e-mag reader dubbed the Mag+. The Bonnier philosophy focuses on creating an authentic magazine experience. Aiming to make the digital experience as close to the real thing as possible.
The Mag+ functions mostly as you would expect, but adds some new bells and whistles. A minimalist heads up display monitors the readers progress in percent. Page changes can be achieved with a horizontal swipe while a vertical swipe will allow you to follow text down the page. Focus switches between images and words with hand gestures. Tap a photograph and the text will dissolve away allowing you unrestricted access to the image. Tap a region of text and the image will lose focus allowing the reader to concentrate on the article.
The most interesting feature to make it into the Mag+ is the context menu. Rub your finger back and forth anyplace on the screen surface and every page element will become selectable. Tap any region of text or image to reveal a radial context menu. The context menu allows for upload to the web, email, and various other internet destinations.
