There are traffic tastes in India that are really great. Rather than just having the lights on a pole, the entire pole lights up so people can easily see when the lights have changed. No horn needed.

wooden rolls royce

If you love something but can’t afford it, you’ll have to adapt to overcome it. In this case, a talented carpenter used his skills to craft a wooden, yet functional, replica of a Rolls Royce that would otherwise cost $28 million.

Road safety

An interesting idea for road (and animal) safety. The reflective paint should prevent as many accidents involving deer in the future. The results are pretty terrifying too.

It comes with the colors of R2-D2 and looks amazing.

Shipping container houses

This group of architects created some pretty neat homes out of shipping containers. A good way to reuse them?

China apparently has an interesting take on diet and calorie burning. At some McDonald’s restaurants, exercise bikes are built into tables so you can eat and burn calories at the same time.

Earth’s black box

A company is working on a black box for our home planet, designed to record data about our world and the state of the environment so it can be seen by future generations. The idea being that they can see what went wrong and avoid making the same mistakes again.

Homeless shelters

In Germany, a city takes care of its homeless with dedicated sleep modules. These modules are designed to provide warmth and shelter to those in need. They also have built-in communication so social workers can be contacted if needed.

Do you remember playing with that Fisher-Price phone when you were a kid? Or maybe you bought one for your own kids at some point. Recently, the company developed an adult-friendly version that allows Bluetooth calls to the phone from a nearby smartphone.

Drone halos

Photographer Will Ferguson used lighted drones to paint in the sky for some very impressive photographs. Here he used them to create halos in the sky. If you didn’t know what was going on, you might mistake these images for UFOs.

VHS tape formatters

Now you can show your age with these sneakers which are decorated with VHS style branding and also come with a VHS box. Luckily, you don’t have to rewind them before wearing them.

Shoes for the blind

We approve of any technological idea that makes people’s lives easier. Even more so when it comes to helping those who are less physically capable. These shoes are equipped with sensors to help the visually impaired detect obstacles as they walk.

Compressed air

A company sells canned air from various locations around the world. If you’re away from home, now you can breathe fresh city air straight from a paint can.

Realistic Helmets

If you don’t like the idea of ​​wearing a helmet because it might damage your hair, worry no more.

3D printed ultrasounds

pinhole camera

This image was taken through a pinhole camera made using a beer can. It was created and then forgotten for eight years. It shows sunrise and sunset and thus shows 2,954 streaks in the sky.

Late train certificates

In Japan they treat delays as a serious matter and if you are a passenger you have the right to expect more from the service. These late certificates will help you if you get in trouble for being late for work or school.
