Do you covet Professor Xavier's power to tap into other people's minds? It may not be as physically damaging or visually impressive as an energy blast, but having exclusive private information can be extremely powerful too, just like the movie shows us. Breaking into the enemy's mind to see his next move, you can preempt a lethal blow. For more leisure use, you can better assess your mating opportunities in the nightclub. To be more specific, you probably want to zero in on the girl who also likes to watch "Glee", loves reading "Techcrunch" and lists Korea as their favorite country.

It doesn't sound too futuristic? That's what I thought too when I was using the iPhone app "Sonar". As soon as you connect with Foursquare, Facebook, Twitter, it tells you what other Foursquare users are around you. And if they have Facebook and/or Twitter already hooked up with their Foursquare accounts, the app will analyze how well you match with that nearby person, or at minimum shows you who your common friends are. Oh, you can also send that person a tweet saying "Hey pretty, I'm a total stranger, guess where I am, I'm watching you mu-ah".

Using an "Sonar"-equipped iPhone is still not very "Professor X-like". Luckily, as Ray Kurzweil the "Transcendent Man" predicts, we will soon have tiny but super powerful computers embedded into human bodies. Imagine an iPhone with a size of red blood cell inside your body, allowing you to make phone calls (I believe there will be a cooler word for "calls"), search nearby people, And, look up their social profiles, connections, and every information that they happily share with the world. Oh, you can probably leave a message inside their brains, I mean inboxes. Sounds fun…

This is my entry for the inmode design competition. (And my first interface design!)

We who live in the wealthy part of the world have intimate relationships with our mobile devices. A simple click on "Log In" can take us to the wonderland of the "App" world. Replaced by an equally simple "Swipe", we can bring wonderland to those in needs.

By presenting different causes each day, users are exposed to wide range of issues around the world and have the opportunities to support those they believe in.

The dangling "droplet" and its close distance with the pool symbolize how effortless we could be in giving a helping hand. By creating a feeling of motion, users are also encouraged to to bring the droplet down to the rising pool of water.

 

Unfortunately, the entry was not accepted as it didn't comply with the guideline. Still a good exercise :D
