Believing in the philosophy that “the driver connects with the vehicle in the same way a rider connects with his horse”, Arturo Peralta believes to have manufactured a vehicle that recognises you, is able to feel, to trust: it is almost a part of you. The Bentley SenseS is a design study of a futuristic vehicle that explores the possibilities of genetic engineering, biotechnology and artificial intelligence in order to create a deep connection between the car and its owner. The car uses artificial intelligence to respond to the driver’s presence, such as pulsing a light to the user’s heartbeat, and to operate the vehicle’s in-wheel electric motors. The driver uses reins rather than a conventional steering wheel for directional inputs. Made using vast expanses of glass, the Senses employs a new design language for Bentley.

The exterior shape is made of a solid hologram technology that creates a solid surface between the feature lines of the vehicle when it is in standby mode waiting to set off. Once inside, it offers the passengers an interface to all senses providing a unique experience.

Channels flow around and through the interior carrying and creating the energy that powers the vehicle. So, Bentley SenseS, is one car sure to give you a feeling that it understands you.

Those who still consider Japan as a hub for electric productions only shall revise their opinion. The rationale is the mobility touch that seems to have influenced Japanese markets thereby inviting prospective consumers. Called the Kenchikukagu, it is the designer range of mobile furniture coming from the house of Atelier OPA based in Japan. The Kenchikukagu series incorporate a mobile work station, a mobile bed and a moible kitchen. Out of all, the mobile bed gathered my attention as it can be pleated when not in-use. It sports a small work space with a lighting touch that can appeal no less than a masterpiece, if installed in an office. Designed to ease your working, sleeping and eating habits, the designer mobile furniture are way beyond those virtual concept designs as are available for sale on Amazon Japan for JPY 800,000(about $7436 US).

Barbie dolls have been loved and loathed at the same time. It is every young gal’s definition of beauty and that is precisely what bothers a number of thinkers. Ablue Eyed fantasy that all children want to fulfill! Reminds me of Morrison’s The Bluest Eyes. Well, the manufacturers cant be least bothered! They have recently sold an Angelina Jolie doll for $3,000 on eBay. The doll is designed and created by Noel Cruz who is himself a fan of Jolie. The doll has Jolie’s pout lips as well as Jolie’s mole on her forehead.

Right now, the company has not decided to have more Jolie dolls but the trend may soon catch up to have Hollywood icons on the range. Who knows, the next model for Ken could very well be Jolie’s hubby Brad Pitt!!
