portable

From CubicleBot… Nick and Beau Trincia’s concept Openaire transforms from a laptop case into a modular desk and chair. The carrying case/work surface is placed on the lap, providing a comfortable, ergonomic foundation for the use of a laptop while also promoting correct posture.

Panels are located on either side of the case which can be folded down for additional workspace, and the chair is constructed of individual panels to contour any body shape. When used as a bag, “The computer is stored in a padded compartment within the case. The ergonomically contoured profile of the case provides additional storage space for hardware and accessories as well as fitting the users lap.” Check out some additional photos after the break.

The iKey KYB-170-OEM wrist keypad is an updated version of the iKey AK-39 keypad. Both meet military specifications and can be integrated to control computers worn on your wrist. The KYB-170-OEM features a 17 button keypad, an integrated micro Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) pointing device and can be manufactured with any available color of LED lighting for use in dark environments.

The only problem is that you can’t unleash your secretary-grade typing speed on it because this updated version operates like a cellphone, meaning you’ll have to press “7″ four times to get the letter “S”. If you’re using this for military applications, that’s probably not what you want to be focused on in the heat of battle.
