The Red Dot Design Award registering period is ending on January 18 and we are anxious to see the final list of participants and the winners, but we’ll have to be patient until then and in the mean time to take a look at last year finalists.



I want to present you the winner of Best of the Best Design Concept in Entertainment category of last year event, which is the E-Paper from Chocolate Agency Chinese company.
Unlike the LG Phillips E-Paper known to you from CES 2008, Chocolate E-Paper is still a futuristic concept but more spectacular than the one existent.

Why? Because it is lighter, thinner, suppler and cheaper to produce, but it also saves more power.
With such characteristics, Chocolate E-Paper would be used in creating different shapes for everyday use products like round devices to be worn as bracelets on your wrist and computer or TV displays.



In bracelet shape, this E-Paper would be adjustable in length and will also have removable inserts, while a kinetic power generator would be a long and reliable energy source for it.
Chocolate Agency proposed three basic uses of their E-Paper and these are: E-Paper MP3/MP4 player bracelet, E-Paper GPS bracelet, and E-Paper Digital Photo Frame cube.

Imagine an E-Paper display in the shape of a bracelet on your wrist that could play your favored music anytime, anywhere, allowing you to browse pictures and videos with the touch of your fingers!
What if it would have GPS functions displaying an interface accessible through motion, having accelerometers, and allowing you to modify the options and explore the map virtually just by waving the hand around?

If we wouldn’t need either a GPS or the MP3/MP4 player, at least we’d like to have a digital photo frame in the shape of a cube that would allows us to play with the fingers through the interface’s options and build new graphical interactions that change in time based on the multiple slideshows technology.



This glass cube that you see in the video would be capable of displaying three images at a time that interact with the play of reflections, and is made of a material with aluminum compound, while three sides are the E-Paper displays.
It would be powered by a built-in battery with an induction dock.

When two cubes are one after the other, the adjacent sides connect themselves forming a panoramic image display.
Imagine now what a large and beautiful image you would obtain by putting 50 cubes together!
