‘Seeing Eye People’ For Text-Obsessed NYC Pedestrians

[Click here to view the video in this article]







It can be quite frustrating to navigate a busy sidewalk in NYC, especially when pedestrians are looking at their phones instead of what’s in front of them.



To address this “texting and walking” epidemic, prank collective Improv Everywhere, together with Buzzfeed, provided text-obsessed pedestrians with ‘seeing eye people’.



Connected via leashes, these seeing eye people would help texting pedestrians navigate the streets while their eyes remain glued to their phones.



For the first part of the project, the seeing eye people were paired with other members of the collective, who were posing as pedestrians.



In the second part, they offered their services to ordinary New Yorkers who were too busy looking at their phones.



Do you think this service should be implement in major cities?

An Igloo Made Out Of Books, A Place Of Retreat For Literary Buffs

Colombia-based artist Miler Lagos carefully stacked hundreds of books to construct a unique self-supporting dome.



Named ‘Home’, the playful sculpture makes a whimsical retreat for literary buffs as a quiet, solitary shelter to indulge in a book.



The igloo of tomes is made with colorful spines facing inwards to reveal the titles, while the pages face outwards.



It occupies a 9-foot space and is imagined as a place filled with information to pass down for generations.

The ‘Mac Monocle’, The Apple Version Of The ‘Google Glass’

Chicago-based designer and illustrator Lunchbreath has produced yet another brilliant cartoon for Core77 that imagines what Apple’s answer to the Google Glass will look like.



As a brand beloved by hipsters, it is likely that Apple will create a eyewear device—with similar technological capabilities as the much anticipated Google Glass—that comes in the form of a stylish and quirky monocle.



Cleverly named the ‘Mac Monocle’, this fictional new product from Apple will not only be “substantially less stupid looking than the Google Glass”, but will probably also come with a lot more apps.



If there is really such a product, will you buy it?
