Vadim Kibardin, a russian designer that Wallpaper magazine included in a list of 40 designers that will “change the world,” has come up with this slick wall clock that looks like an LCD display, but changes from white to black depending on the light.

Black and White Clock has a self contained power supply and independent control, so there are no messy cords in the way of the clean, modern design. We love the homage to our old timex and swatch watches of the 80s. The independent light sensor dictates whether the numerals are illuminated or dark, so this clock is visible at all times of day and night.

We love the idea and hope that they find a manufacturer soon so that we can we can start saving up for one!

Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.

Architecture student Keiichi Matsuda took it upon himself to imagine just such a future, in this video:

Frequent viewers of I New Idea must have noticed that we’re quite concerned about the new designs of cameras, and we’ve published many interesting and innovative cameras during the past. But few of them would beat the Stampy Digital Camera designed by Jinhee Kim. It works in a way like this: you take pictures, edit them on the camera, and then you stamp the photograph onto a sheet of paper. So simply put, the Stampy Digital Camera is a digital camera that also doubles as a rubber stamp. Isn’t that interesting?
