A creative mind from Sweden - Carl Hagerling - brings us some cool concepts regarding product design and functional architecture.

The Digi>tal (let’s call it that*) is a device with the purpose to make life easier for the visual handicapped people during the shopping trips.

It includes a scanner to be put on the wrist and a headset with an antenna and earphone. The working system is as good as it can get: when holding the grocery item the person just needs to push the button on the scanner and the name of the grocery - according to the information on the price tag - will be announced on the earphone.

Take note:

• It is just a concept
• Carl Hagerling has more cool ideas that can be seen at his personal site - www.hagerling.se - I suppose he is Swedish
• Some of those concepts were featured at exhibitions and received awards
• Digi>tal isn’t a one-man-only project, Pär Sanglof is the partner in action
• * Not sure if “Digi>tal” this is the correct name
