How awesome is the Socialmatic, a prototype for an Instagram camera?!

The device would connect to all your favorite social websites like Facebook and Twitter to share your beautiful pictures, and spit out Polaroid-style prints with a sticky glue strip on the back, so you can share your images just as easily in the real world as you would online.

It’s just an idea for now, but I’d buy one in a heartbeat!  

Design duo Isaac Blankensmith and Kyle Dehovitz have designed what might be a change in the way we think of capturing, and sharing images. Though it is still in its conceptual phase, the Armada 3D scanner would be the first 3D scanner to function seamlessly with smartphones, via Bluetooth. The scanner would capture thousands of images on an object through triangulation, and send an STP file directly to your phone. It is also would be small enough to stick in your pocket. In essence, users would scan 3D projections of an object directly into their smartphones, just as a way to store sources of inspiration, much like we already do with Pinterest or Tumblr, except we now have the ability to print 3D scans too with SD printers recently put on the market. Welcome to the future!

This idea is pure gold: the iconic golden arches made with golden poppies in the golden state! No, it’s not just gold because of the color, but because California Poppies are illegal to pick or dig up due to their status as our lovely state flower. Designer Sean Click made this low-cost, high-impact concept ad for McDonald’s to have an eco-friendly permanence protected by state legislature. Although environmental graffiti for McDonald’s, the antithesis of health and sustainability, may be more than slightly ironic, this logo made of California Poppies would me ingenious and indestructible—anyone who tried to dig up those flowery arches and would face a fine!

This unbelievable Color Picker concept pen by Jinsun Park is one of those things that you just wish you could yearn into existence. I am pretty sure I would be buying one of these for every member of my family for the holidays. Park’s other concepts include a sink that doubles as a water fountain and a personal map projector. We’re just waiting for some brand to snatch her up to start creating these dreamy products.
