The Music-Toucher is a concept dancing shoe that can help the dancer to realize the rhythm by transferring the rhythm of the music into elegiac vibration. This concept will help the deaf people make their dream come true as a dancer in their soundless world. The sole of the shoe features a vibrating transfer module placed in a way that will never bother the wearer or make them uncomfortable.

The JS Bach Chamber Music Hall is a brilliant concept design installed at Manchester Art Gallery in order to house musical performances. The hall is built on a steel structure covered with a transparent fabric membrane suspended form the ceiling which divides and encloses the space aside from creating a stage, area for audience and passages for in and out of the hall.

The next generation WowWee robots series from WowWee Robotics, takes robotics to the next generation. Set to be unveiled in the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas later this week, the two playful companions are something that you more than asked for. The first one is Joebot, which is a regular fully loaded interactive friendly neighborhood robot which also has sense of humor up its sleeve.
