Karten Design has been coming up with all sorts of weird toy concepts lately as a part of their Cautionary Visions project. The idea is that not all gadget design is created equal and when the real human aspect of tech and why we use it is forgotten, we’re bound to end up with gizmo abominations like the Epidermits.
This horrible freak of toy nature features human-like tissue, robotics, fuel cells and more. You can program the weird little guy to move and such. You can also place it in the refrigerator to force it to hibernate and you can totally customize it with hair, skin, body parts, tattoos and piercings. Yikes!
Another interesting concept developed for the project was the Full Baby Pacifier, which features a pair of glasses that have displays built-in so that your baby is always entertained and amused with images. Let’s try overstimulated.
