Instagram Instaglasses Concept by Markus Gerke

Gommi Arcadian — Sun, 24 Jun 2012 23:57:23 +0000

Sure, you can use Instagram to make smartphone photos appear more aesthetically pleasing using the app’s filters, but wouldn’t it be sweet if you could apply those filters to the world around you? That’s the concept behind these Instaglasses, developed by Berlin-based designer Markus Gerke. The instructions are relatively straightforward: activate the pre-set filters on the lenses by pressing the Insta button, snap pictures using a built-in 5-megapixel camera, then upload straight to Instagram. As Gerke puts it, “Life is beautiful, even more beautiful with filters.” For those of you ready to add the device to your online shopping cart, bad news: the Instaphone concept will remain just that, a concept. via: Behance

BASED ON THE STORY OF GOMMI ARCADE WRITTEN BY ZAK HOKE

“The Science, Technology, Academia & Research (S.T.A.R.) Academy is a private research university located in what appears to be the city-nation of Neo Tokio. The S.T.A.R. Academy has five schools and one college, containing a total of 36 academic departments, with a strong emphasis on scientific and technological research. Gommi Arcadian attends the S.T.A.R. Academy with his friends the ARMi (Art, Research & Media Intelligence), a ghost name for this band of cyberpunks who form the resistance movement of Neo Tokio. The group is made up of a total of five S.T.A.R. Academy school students who are all intelligent and artistic, yet outspoken outcasts.” TO BE CONTINUED…
