Could VR cure jet-lag?? A bunch of designers sure think so! The Aura, designed to look like the coolest VR headset ever and to behave like a jet-lag-curing machine, is a headset you wear around your head, positioning the earpieces on your ears before sliding the screen to cover your eyes. Not only does the headset act as an eyemask and ear muff, when switched on, it creates a meditatively personal space that isolates the traveler in a scenery of their preference, to assist travelers to fall asleep as soon as possible. AURA provides a variety of VR themes, such as outer-space, forest, ocean and canyon. It also uses a combination of sounds and soundtracks (ASMR) to trigger relaxation and get you to drift off into dreamland.
What’s truly fascinating about the Aura, aside from its innovative use, is its design. The collapsing design allows it to be docked in airplanes pretty easily, looking (and even behaving) like headphones, until you slide the VR headset out in sheer sci-fi fashion. The Aura charges via induction, and is powered using a phone app that gives you full control over what you want the VR headset to do. Although it looks so cool, I’d probably give in to the jet lag and binge watch movies through my flight!
Designers: Ju Chia Lee, John Cao, Cheng Fu Hsieh & Ming Hung Lin.

“I want a house where I can feel the sky” sounds more like poetry than a design brief, but then again, the resulting product also feels like visual poetry rather a regular skylight. Built by Satoh Hirotaka Architects to let the sky paint the insides of your house, the Message From The Sky is an interactive skylight that changes with time and weather, turning your wall into a piece of art that’s seldom the same. Based on the season, time of the day, cloud cover, precipitation, and general color of the sky, the house’s wall looks completely different. Pair it with the moving slats that create mesmeric parallelogram patterns and you’ve got a room that’s beautifully decorated by sunlight! I can just see myself reaching for the Instagram icon!
