EnhancedViewTM technology can present any type of information (text, image, video, 3D file, etc.) on a simple transparent lens.

“EnhancedViewTM technology is based on the special curvature of a semi-reflecting lens, which collimates a multicoloured image into the user’s field of vision. The special properties of the glass lens allows a wide field for the enhanced view (the standard is 40° x 30°) and the image resolution exceeds 800 x 600 pixels. 

It is equivalent to viewing a floating screen with 90 cm (34”) diagonal at 1 metre or a screen with the diagonal approximately 270 cm (88”) seen from 3 metres!

The Radial Fin Cup: a redesign concept for the coffee cup

“58 billion paper cups are thrown away - and are not recycled - every year. In a contest hosted by Jovoto, and partly sponsored by Starbucks and Core77, the Betacup project has the goal to find the best ideas to eliminate paper cup consumption. What could be a more sustainable alternative? This entry, by Miller Creative, solves this problem, in a realistic, manufacturable, and eco-friendly way…” —The Dieline

Alarm Clock Design Concept of the Day: What Dundee University design student Natalie Duckett’s “Alarming Clock” lacks in a traditional face, it more than makes up for in a metal woodpecker-like beak that wakes you up when it figures you’ve slept enough by tapping on nearby on nearby objects.

Energy Aware Clock - The Interactive Institute

Designed to make energy awareness a part of everyday life, the clock “visualizes the daily energy rhythms of the household and reminds us of the ordinary kitchen clock, both in form, place and use.”
