KDLAB, a design firm in New York produced an astounding peice of work known as iSPEC or iPod3. Imagine you’re wearing 3D glasses with built-in earphones which immmerses you into a virtual reality environment of your choosing. In this case a reproduction of the Overlook Hotel’s lobby from the movie “The Shining” by Stanley Kubric. As you wear the glasses you manipulate the interface and environments appearing in the glasses by using wireless, finger mounted controls. We had recently placed this concept in our iPod Concepts gallery and have noticed it has appeared on several websites since. We emailed the producer, director and 3D designer/animator of iSPEC, Joseph Kosinski of KDLAB after viewing the concept video.

“The slickest thing about KDLAB’s concept is how they managed to turn the iPod’s menus into something like 3D space. “
You mean a VR Interface? For crying out loud people, it’s VR! Stop confusing yourselves!

The glasses are elegant, the presentation is mediocre and the interface is downright unintuitive and ugly. The words are floating in space in random order. It doesn’t feel like an elegant Apple interface.
