Black Diamond is a gorgeous 3D interactive mood lighting iPhone Dock.
 The free Black Diamond app on your iPhone, mounted in its dock, can 
deliver 5 different color schemes that will resurrect the 
semi-transparent black dome to blush with mesmerizing colors.



More importantly, Black Diamond is also a creative platform where we 
encourage and invite users to imagine and create applications for it to 
make it even more interactive. We’ve dreamed up different ways to make 
it social by utilizing the different colors and patterns the Black 
Diamond is able to deliver with its 3D presentation. Imagine all the 
color games you can create. A Russian Roulette drinking game with the 
Black Diamond anybody?

The point here is beauty and interaction combined



Before we had anything, our team wanted to create something that 
would reinvent the iPhone dock to become more interesting. We felt that 
we took for granted many of the everyday things that we use daily in our
 lives. Most things can be improved and done better, especially ones as 
simple and boring as the stock iPhone dock that doesn’t rock. We 
realized that since so many people own an iPhone, most of them must have
 iPhone docks. And since everyone has an iPhone dock, they must all have
 a very boring white blocky thingy that sits on their desks, testing 
aesthetic patience. Therefore, we decided to combine utility, 
aesthetics, elegance, and interaction into 1 magical piece of art to 
stop their desks from committing everyday monotony.










•&nbsp;Easy to place in and charge for iPhone/iPod touch
•&nbsp;Charged and synchronized with iTunes by mini USB
•&nbsp;Mutiple dynamic effect options (support for Voice Control)
•&nbsp;Set colors of messages from freinds
•&nbsp;Support for iPod music playback
•&nbsp;Progressive Wake Up Function
•&nbsp;Sleep function

The design was made by Ken Ouyang, who is an electrical engineer 
turned designer. During an uncontrollable brainstorm, he got his 
inspiration by placing his iPhone into a jar with a foggy surface that 
was able to trap colors from escaping into the wild (All the clear jars 
were bad at keeping prisoners). Therefore, he finalized on the foggy and
 mystical dome surface because it was the only way to imprison the 
naughy colors trying to escape and then having them perform beautiful 
illumination for you and yours truly.

Black Diamond as his bedside night lamp.... BTW no color fairies were harmed in the making of the Black Diamond.

So why do we need your help? We already have a very complete &nbsp;and 
sellable version that we plan to release into the wild, but it’s not yet
 perfect (according to our idealistic standards). The designing and 
manufacturing processes for this piece of hardware have been very 
expensive. Not only do we need more funding to go on with bettering our 
design (perhaps put in a natural amplifier system), we also think it’s a
 great time to take our Black Diamond to our audience and see what kind 
of splash we can make. By pledging at least $45, you will get the latest
 version of our Black Diamond iPhone Dock and also empathy points for 
helping us and also rescuing lonely desks from Apple’s attempt to 
sabotage good looking-ness from your decorative room.
