While most of you are busy recovering from sugar highs (did you get good candy?) we were busy at 100% Design Tokyo. This year drew an even larger crowd, both exhibitors and installations had some amazing eye candy. Some ideas were oldies but goodies, some were improvements on things we’ve seen before, and some were just plain out of this world. Hit the jump for the huge gallery of pictures!

Now that you’re semi impressed with that USB plug as the lollipop’s stick, Eye Candy does more than it meets the eye. The small dots you see on the candy are in fact an array of resonators which helps the candy to make you visualize say, a fish or a spider or anything else. This is done with the help of a technique called sensory substitution enabling to see the evocative images contained within Eye Candy.

Currently six flavours are being sold with different images ranging from motivational to relaxing to meditation. I would stack up a bunch if it allowed me to visualize what I wanted to!

Mimicking a successful product is today’s mantra for successfully selling your own product. Check the Klik-on Candy dispenser resembling Wiimote which shoots out the candy on pressing the B button. Selling on eBay for under $4.

I found this video on VideoJug, but looks pretty crappy and here’s a good one from Youtube:
