It might creep you out a bit that the future of medical imaging resembles something straight out of a Stanley Kubrick flick (2001: A Space Odyssey, one of the greats), but 4D ultrasounds are on their way. And that's not all. Technology might be making the medical experience a much more comfortable position to be in.

Imagine taking a trip to your obstetrician of choice, and not be faced with the threat of cold patient table slabs and even colder ultrasound lubrication. But instead, you'd be greeted with a big, comfy, couch sitting in a welcoming setting. And on top of the added comfort, you'd get an up close and personal 4D look at your developing baby. "Celebrating Pregnancy" is a project which believes this is possible.

"Celebrating Pregnancy" is a 'pregnancy scenario' for the future. The experience of medical imaging would be made into a very intimate and magical family setting if the future of "Celebrating Pregnancy" ever gets to see the light of day.

Patients will be able to interact with a 4D projection image of their child in the uterus, complete with audio and stress reducing ambient lighting. The experience would be more like a day at the spiritual spa than anything medical related.

2008 Audi A5 S-line:

via Car and Driver Blog by Tom Adams on 6/10/08

Audi's Quattro all-wheel-drive is my favorite feature of the handsome A5 coupe. On washed-out country roads, this car stuck like glue and never slipped, even through two inches of standing water. It is supremely confidence-inspiring. (Things go a bit south if you have to get in and out while the wet stuff's coming down, though. When you open the door in a downpour, the aggressive tumblehome means that interior is overly exposed and gets quite wet.)

As the resident beverage-head in the office, I would be remiss if I didn't call out the tiny cupholders. There's a small holder for a regular Starbucks cup, and an even smaller one that will hold a can of Red Bull—the Germans clearly don't understand the need to haul a 64-ounce beverage. On the other hand, the prospect of Quattro might just convince me to give up my water tower full of soda . . .

BMW GINA Light Visionary Model Concept - Car News

BMW says this cloth-bodied roadster points the way to the future car.

BY ERIK JOHNSON

Have you ever wondered what might result from a three-night hook-up between a zeppelin, an original BMW 507, and a BMW Z4 roadster? Neither have we, but now that we've seen the BMW GINA concept (pronouncedjee-nah), we've got a pretty good idea, and it's even sort of beautiful.

GINA is an acronym for "Geometry and Functions in 'N' Adaptations," where the N stands for infinite—as if the acronym wasn't enough of a stretch already. It's a fancy way to summarize a way of thinking about how cars will be shaped, manufactured, and used by their owners in the future. The Light Visionary Model (LVM) is a physical manifestation of this idea, and features some innovative—and out there—approaches to making the philosophy a reality.

BMW says that this concept isn't just about the styling of the car of the future, but also about the "creative freedom" offered to designers and engineers alike. To that end, this concept wears a fabric "skin" comprised of a wire-mesh inner stabilizing layer and a water- and temperature-resistant outer layer.Instead of the usual myriad body panels, the LVM has just four outer elements: one that covers the entire front end and runs to the rear edge of the doors, two rear-quarter coverings, and one across the rear deck. BMW's seat designers helped with the precise measurement, cutting, and attachment of the material, which is stretched over a mechanized electric and electro-hydraulic metal and carbon frame.
