MacLife Article Contains Futuristic Ideas For Apple Gadgets
MacLife has an interesting article containing some fictional futuristic ideas for what Apple could be doing years from now. They asked several technology editors and reporters to envision future products from Apple. One of the devices (pictured above) is the iMake, a Bluetooth headsets, iPods, wristwatches, eyeglasses and door knobs are some of the items the iMake could make. You would be able to download the product designs from the iTunes Store and transmit them directly to the iMake, which would use 3D rapid prototyping technology to create the device. Boing Boing's Mark Frauenfelder came up with the iMake concept. Other ideas in the futuristic MacLife feature include augmented reality glases and an exerPod, an Apple handheld devoted wholly to physical fitness. Augmented reality glasses seem like a pretty reasonable concept for near future given the explosion in uses for augmented reality technology.
