The U3-X is an experimental personal mobility device concept by Honda, that can provide free movement to the rider in all directions, backward, forward, side-to-side and transversely by implementing Honda’s balance control technology and latest omni-directional driving wheel system. The users will be able to adjust speed, moving directions and stop anyhow they want by leaning their upper body. The one-wheel-drive compact mobility device allows the rider to seat at just around the same eye level as he or she is standing on the gourd and let them easily land on the ground from the footrest. The device remains in an upright position by implementing the precise control technology, which allows for agile and smooth movements and straightforward operation.

“Endlesstime”, as the name suggests, is a never ending watch designed to represent the endless quality of time. The design is quite simple and clean for any user. The watch is made up of semi-transparent plastic which can be straightened if not tied up on your wrist. The watch is very flexible due to the magnets concealed in the band and it can easily fit on any wrist comfortably. Designer has given a twist in the middle of the watch for reminding the symbol of hourglass. The twist also shows the division of the hour and minute displayed on the clock. Also, there is no need for batteries as the clock receives satellite signals and automatically tunes the watch as per current time zone.

This Public Bike system looks like a hamster bike to me. This public bike system is meant to cater the address of problems faced by tourist visiting Berlin. It allows tourists to tour the parks and other tourist destination. This innovative rental bike runs on two wheels which turn independent of each other though the seat holds the wheels in position and the bike is propelled forward by pedals which are used in straight movement. The handles aid in braking and steering and a personal touch has been added by the designer by providing space for luggage. Overall the bike can be termed as a perfect companion for those who wish to explore the city !
