Fireworks Help Find Your Car
Every time I get out of a car I yell to my friends the exact floor, side, and column it’s located on. Two hours later we’re all wandering around trying to find it. Constantly clicking the remote keyless entry doesn’t help unless you’re within audible distance. I need something bigger, something I can’t miss. How about fireworks?
The Fireworks Locator system by futurist with a sense of humor Mac Funamizu uses holographic projection technology to set off a display of lights and color you can’t miss. A remote activates an emitter installed on the top of your vehicle. That’s pretty much it. Feasibility aside, I could totally see Honda using this idea in one of their future ads. Imagine hundreds of Hondas creating an unforgettable light show.
Designer: Mac Funamizu

genius!
Joel Klebanoff says
I’m thinking that real fireworks would be much more entertaining for you, your passengers and any bystanders who happen to be nearby than projected images. What’s more, if the remote allowed you to aim the fireworks before setting them off it would offer the opportunity of payback for bad customer service at the store you visited.

As long as your going to invent something unrealistic, why not just go with a teleporter and dump the car completely…
powers says
Wow. This is on the wild side! Nice concept.
fb says
ok, then what would happen if 50 people are trying to use this at once?
it’ll be pretty, but it’ll just be as hard to get to your car as it is with a regular *beep*
Victor Assis says
The REAL problem is the remote’s signal power. If you’re within signal reach, you will easily hear the sound of the car… and if you’re not, the fireworks are not going to help you either.
Nice concept, though.

如果大家都放烟花，你还能找到你的车么？你喜欢放烟花，我不喜欢。你那样做会不会影响路人的情绪呢。
Eden says
这个装置采用的是全息投影技术，投影出3维烟花影像，所以不会影响到其他人。如果这个设计同时增加了烟花的声音效果，那可能就会引起其他人的不满了。所以设计还是会考虑不同的应用情况。
kedemax says
就是 有道理
yoya says
alough it’s crazy, maybe some people don’t like it
but it’s still a cool concept
maybe you have to think more about the humanity
if you did, it may be a wonderful design.
yoya says
there are so many people don’t like this
but sorry
I still think is a cool “concept”
it’s impossible for us to have this design
maybe you have someting want to tell everybody?
if you don’t
it will be just only a image.
Eden says
Yes,it’s a amazing design that just project holographic 3 dimensional image, not real fireworks.So it couldn’t disturb anyone else.
Sonny Angela says
I agreed !

挖哦，不错不错
helloplog says
that’s funny :p
chetan sorab says
I have faced a similar problem. Its a good direction to start thinking in !
Alp says
very nice concept. I m not very horse glassed about it being realistic or not. We do not know where technology is going to get to in another 500 years. Same was the verdict as above ” go with teleporting” when Jules Verne thought of a submarine-Nautilus ?? It does exist now for sure
Keep on dreaming, witohout YOU dreamers we are stuck with engineers creativity and only functional objects that bring no pleasure to our visual information spunge.. (no offence )
Alp says
”As long as your going to invent something unrealistic, why not just go with a teleporter and dump the car completely…”
I say dream on. Nice concept. If you limit your ideas to todays technology, then you are stuck with whats made already. We dont know for sure where tomorrows technology is going to. We guess but we are not sure.
Same was the verdict above when Jules Verne thought of Nautilus a submarine, it sure does exist now !
@ says
Looks great on a black background, how about in the middle of the day when the sun is up.
SeattleGuy says
The concept is nice, but it’s a little cheaper for me to take a picture of the stupid pole and the floor locater information on it with my cell phone….
TDale says
Err.
Not only would that be dangerous and expensive, but also very illegal.
Booshibonton says
And what would make it very dangerous/illegal? If the car is parked, it’s not like it’ll be distracting anyone… chances are, by the time a holographic projector’s invented, everyone will know of them and not be stunned at the sight of a light fireworks display. Again, in the future, holographic projectors would probably come down in price… and then there’s the matter of legality… what might make it illegal? Obviously you wouldn’t use it while driving, what would be the point? Better yet, you would think they’d disable the projector when the engine was put into ignition.
Nice try. Being the downer who finds a problem with everything didn’t get you anywhere; this time…

非常有趣!!

I use small flare-gun to indicate my location on the beach when someone is looking for me. “Small” means less than pen, like this one: http://www.dmazay.ru/index.php?productID=3533 . Really convenient, so same idea should work perfectly for a car.
haruspex says
Here’s one in English:

haruspex says
Why not just use a vertically pointed green laser with enough power to have the beam visible during the day? They already make these, would be no trouble to incorporate it into your car and provide a stronger transmitter.
Christine says
this vehicle is moving explosive. Interesting concept but totally unrealistic.
minhloc says
interesting idea.
its only a holographic projection, not real fireworks, so i cant see any dangers.
but it’s probably easier to just have the car flash its headlights…
and you still have to remember the right floor
