			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember those cool polygon superhero images by <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2012/02/26/polygon-heroes-james-reid-superheroes/">James Reid</a>? Well <a href="http://www.reneschiffer.de/">Rene Schiffer</a> takes our heroes a bit further into pixel-land by using only rectangles in his version. None of his designs uses any other shapes but rectangles and none have more than 20 colors.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-89466" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/Rectangle-rene-schiffer-superheroes-hulk.jpg" alt="Rectangle rene schiffer superheroes hulk" width="600" height="833" title="Rectangle rene schiffer superheroes hulk photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-89460"></span>Rene included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Wolverine, Thor, Cyclops, Professor X, Spider-Man, among others in his rectangular superhero collection. It&#8217;s amazing how well these convey the spirit and individuality of each superhero using such primitive shapes.</p>

<p>Now, where can I get some of these printed on T-shirts? They&#8217;d probably look good on my wall as well.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As many of us will probably admit, I have multiple cases for my iPad and iPhone, because I like so many of the designs out there. While I don&#8217;t go for stuff that&#8217;s too off the wall, like those <a title="Rabito Case Makes Your iPhone Look Like a Deranged Easter Bunny" href="http://technabob.com/blog/2011/05/26/rabito-iphone-cases/">bunny ear cases</a> that I&#8217;ve seen, these geometric cases for iPhones and covers for iPads by <a href="http://vasarenar.tumblr.com/">Vasare Nar</a> are just distinctive enough for me.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82856" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/vasare-nar-iphone-ipad-skins_01.jpg" alt="vasare nar iphone ipad skins 01" width="600" height="400" title="vasare nar iphone ipad skins 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-82855"></span>Vasare Nar&#8217;s cases are inspired by geometry and Aztec tribal art. The abstract geometric shapes are definitely distinctive, especially in the bold colors he offers.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-82858" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/vasare-nar-iphone-ipad-skins_03.jpg" alt="vasare nar iphone ipad skins 03" width="600" height="600" title="vasare nar iphone ipad skins 03 photo" /></p>
<p>Over at her <a href="http://society6.com/VasareNar/">Society6 site</a>, you can choose from a variety of different covers, skins, and decals for PC laptops, MacBooks, iPads, iPhones, and other gear. Prices start at $15(USD) and go up to $30.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ever wondered what you might look like if you were trapped inside a computer program? While it&#8217;s not exactly what was envisioned in <em>TRON</em> or <em>The Matrix,</em> this iPad app can polygonize almost anything you throw at it, including pictures of yourself. The result looks pretty cool and you can use it to create many different shapes and images.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-78829" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Poly_iPad_App_01.jpg" alt="Poly iPad App 01" width="600" height="464" title="Poly iPad App 01 photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-78828"></span>The app is called <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/poly/id477351128?mt=8">Poly</a> by <a href="http://innoiz.com/apps/">Innoiz</a> that allows you to draw points that allow you turn your pictures into sharp-edged geometric shapes and simplified colors. The art Poly creates is inspired by the triangulation invented by the mathematician <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Delaunay">Boris Delaunay</a> in 1934. Apparently, there&#8217;s lots of fancy math stuff going on behind the scenes, though you easily manipulate images and reduce them to their essential forms using just your fingertip.</p>
<p><iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/32069908" width="620" height="349" frameborder="0" webkitAllowFullScreen mozallowfullscreen allowFullScreen></iframe></p>
<p>The resulting images are pretty cool, don&#8217;t you think? If you want to try it out for yourself, Poly is available from the <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/app/poly/id477351128?mt=8">iTunes App Store</a> for $0.99 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here&#8217;s a cool concept for a modern watch, which would tell time using just a few simple lines. The Geometrix watch was designed by Vladislav Novikov-Barkovsky of <a href="http://redrichman.ru/">Red Richman Creative Studio</a>. At its most basic, the Geometrix uses a single line to connect the dots between the current hour and its minutes.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77472" title="geometrix_watch_1" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/geometrix_watch_1.jpg" alt="geometrix watch 1" width="600" height="559" /></p>
<p><span id="more-77451"></span> The top dots indicate hours, while the bottom dots are minutes. Simple enough, right? But when you get to the fringes of the watch face, something interesting happens. When it&#8217;s exactly the top of the hour, both the &#8220;00&#8243; and &#8220;60&#8243; markers illuminate, creating two sides of a triangle.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77473" title="geometrix_watch_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/geometrix_watch_2.jpg" alt="geometrix watch 2" width="600" height="559" /></p>
<p>And when it&#8217;s exactly 12:00 (or 24:00), all four corners light up, forming a bow-tie shape. While this additional display doesn&#8217;t really add anything to the readability of the display, it does make it just that much more interesting to look at. I particularly like how the design incorporates a conventional digital display for date and time too &#8211; I think more unconventional watch faces should do that more often.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77474" title="geometrix_watch_3" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/geometrix_watch_3.jpg" alt="geometrix watch 3" width="600" height="559" /></p>
<p>Make sense? You can check out an animated version of the watch face <a href="http://redrichman.ru/Prondesign/Ray_Clock_rus_Flash.html">here</a> if you&#8217;re confused.</p>
<p>While the Geometrix watch is only a concept at this point, it seems simple like the design would be simple enough to execute (are you listening <a href="/blog/tag/tokyoflash">Tokyoflash</a>?) If nothing else, its creator should consider making an iPhone or Android app version.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bored at work? Wish there was something you could do to transform your office space into something more fun, interesting, and conducive to work? Then get yourself a Tetra Shed!</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75351" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Tetra-Shed.jpg" alt="Tetra Shed" width="600" height="536" title="Tetra Shed photo" /></p>
<p><span id="more-75344"></span>This ultra-cool office cubicle was designed by London&#8217;s David Ajasa-Adekunle of the Innovation Imperative studio. It was designed to be an extremely, well, different kind of workspace either for your home or for your office. Each self-contained workpod can be opened or closed to increase privacy or to let the light in.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75352" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/Tetra-Shed1.jpg" alt="Tetra Shed1" width="600" height="397" title="Tetra Shed1 photo" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75402" title="tetrashed_open_closed" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tetrashed_open_closed.jpg" alt="tetrashed open closed" width="600" height="275" /></p>
<p>But let&#8217;s face it, unless you&#8217;re your own boss, I doubt you&#8217;ll be able to secure permission to haul in your own cubicle, especially for something that looks like it&#8217;s going to be taking up a whole lot of space &#8211; thought it does look like they&#8217;ll be able to closely interlock if you convince your company to replace all their cubicles with them.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-75401" title="tetrashed_interlocked" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/tetrashed_interlocked.jpg" alt="tetrashed interlocked" width="600" height="414" /></p>
<p>That said, <a href="http://www.tetra-shed.co.uk/">Tetra Shed</a> is a futuristic office cubicle that will be made available to the eager working public early next year. What do you think?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s been a while since we featured a cool digital watch here on technabob. That&#8217;s not for lack of trying &#8211; I just haven&#8217;t seen anything particularly different in a while. So I was happy when I stumbled onto these funky new digital timepieces from Alessi.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-18044" title="alessi_daytimer_watches" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/alessi_daytimer_watches.jpg" alt="alessi daytimer watches" width="600" height="764" /></p>
<p>Designed by renowned architect <a href="http://www.alsoparchitects.com/">Will Alsop</a> + Federico Grazzini, the <a href="http://www.alessi-watches.com/eg/watch/al22000/index.html">Daytimer watch</a> features a high-contrast blue OLED digital display, framed by a bold geometric polyurethane case.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img title="alessi_daytimer_2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/alessi_daytimer_2.jpg" alt="alessi daytimer 2" width="600" height="694" /></p>
<p>Instead of just laying there like any old watch, the Daytimer features a 3-dimensional polygonal case structure that&#8217;s just slightly askew. As time passes, the display cycles through nine graphics (of what, I don&#8217;t know) on its OLED screen when you press the button to recall the time.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-18042    aligncenter" title="alessi_daytimer_oled_watch" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/alessi_daytimer_oled_watch.jpg" alt="alessi daytimer oled watch" width="600" height="390" /></p>
<p>The Daytimer comes in four colors: red, green, purple and black, and is available from <a href="http://www.emmohome.com/alessiwatches.html">Emmo Home</a> for $120 (USD).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>At first glance, this lighting fixture might look like a table lamp. But upon further examination, it turns out that it&#8217;s actually a sconce you hang on the wall.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-5844 aligncenter" title="electroluminescent_lamp" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/electroluminescent_lamp.jpg" alt="electroluminescent lamp" width="520" height="751" /></p>
<p>Designer <a href="http://www.treluce.com/">Marcus Tremonto</a> pokes strands of illuminated wires through glossy sheets of <a href="http://www.luciteinternational.com/perspex.asp">Perspex</a> acrylic to create the illusion of 3-dimensional geometric forms.</p>

<p>While the bright self-lit forms are reminiscent of neon, they actually operate using cool-burning electroluminescent wire, consuming minimal power.</p>

<p style="text-align: left;">Numerous wires are precisely manipulated to create amazing sculptural forms, including traditional lamps, chandeliers, as well as more abstract shapes.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look at this beautiful Quin lamp from California artist Bathsheba Grossman. Notice anything special about it, D &amp; D fans? It&#8217;s Bathsheba&#8217;s exploration on the dodecahedron. It&#8217;s so much more than a twelve-sided die though.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4992" title="quinmain2" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/quinmain2.jpg" alt="quinmain2" width="520" height="491" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The intricate perforations and curvy undulations are not only are a shining example of the seamless blending of technology and art, but also serve to create quite a spectacular display of light. Bathsheba is intrigued by the space between art and mathematics, and finds naturally recurring beauty in geometry as well as the new shapes that she creates.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4993" title="quin-lamp-trio" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/quin-lamp-trio.jpg" alt="quin lamp trio" width="520" height="572" /></p>
<p>Bathsheba enjoys working with technology and in this case has collaborated with <a href="http://www.materialise.com/materialise/view/en/114832-.MGX+Design+products.html">Materialise&#8217;s MGX</a> to create this design using their  <a href="http://www.materialise.com/materialise/view/en/91755-Selective+Laser+Sintering.html">Selective Layer Sintering</a> (SLS) rapid prototyping technology. She frequently works in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_printing">3D printing</a> and has also mastered a technique called subsurface laser damage in the creation of her <a href="http://www.bathsheba.com/crystal/">intricate etched crystal sculptures</a>.</p>
<p>Find the Quin lamp at <a href="http://www.gnr8.biz/product_info.php?products_id=618">Generate</a>, and explore more sculpture with a highly scientific point of view on Bathsheba&#8217;s <a href="http://www.bathsheba.com/">website</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you thought those <a href="http://technabob.com/blog/2008/03/15/awesome-arcade-game-art-by-melissa-jones/">wall-size arcade artworks</a> I wrote about the other day were a bit too bold for your taste, you might want to check out these slightly more subtle Tetris-inspired mirrors hanging on your wall instead.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/tetris_mirror.jpg" alt="tetris mirror"  title="tetris mirror photo" /></p>
<p>UK product designer <a href="http://www.sonerozenc.com/">Soner Ozenc&#8217;s</a> Tetris Mirror is comprised of thirteen interlocking mirrored acrylic panels, which can be arranged on your wall to form a rectangle, or broken apart into their individual puzzle blocks. Hopefully, these pieces won&#8217;t fall down at the same speed they do in the classic arcade game or you&#8217;ll have more than a few years of bad luck on your hands.</p>
<p>While I couldn&#8217;t find a retail outlet for the mirror, it looks like it comes in both A3 (11.7&#8243; × 16.5&#8243;) and A4 (8.3&#8243; × 11.7&#8243;) sizes, and in either silver or gold reflective surfaces. Post a comment if you happen to find a place where you can purchase these.</p>
