Did you miss the car concept column? Well, it seems I can’t quite turn it into a daily column as there aren’t too many concepts worthy of our attention. Anyway, here’s a new one that emerged as one of the best entries in the latest Peugeot design competition.
Peugeot Stylight was designed by Ognyan Bozhilov from Bulgaria. Accroding to DVice , the designer describes his concept as a three-seater hybrid, mid-engine car with a heavy, sleek body reminiscent of old ’30s lead-sleds. The car combines retro features with cutting edge futuristic shapes.
The three-seater puts the driver in the front-center seat and two other passengers can ride in the back. The driver is treated with all sorts of onboard gadgets and the visibility is enhanced via a big windshield and side-view windows.The concept car already comes pimped up with two spinning 10-spoke rims mounted under a glowing Peugeot logo for the front tires.

Good news for armless persons! The creator of the Segway, Dean Kamen, is about to complete his Luke Arm project.
Kamen’s company, DEKA Research, has managed to integrate some cool new features in the arm’s interface, adding to the early mechanical prototype some spatial and neural interfaces. The man in the image above had his arm nerves transected in a misfortunate military operation, but that didn’t stop Kamen’s team to interface his nerve remnants directly to th...

Photographs sure came a long way. You can store many digital photos on memory cards, DVDs and other devices make those snapshots last for many years, but what if you want to go nostalgic and use paper again?
