This hi-tech sun bed is one of the concepts from this “Beach&Pool 2008/09″ design competition. The hi-tech lounger “S3” signifies the sun, and three relaxing positions it can mold into to comfort its owner. The solar-powered lounger has an automatic mechanism that follows the sun, keeping the sun bed always oriented with the sun. And its automatic waterdrop spray permits a refreshing action by spraying vaporized water all along the body, so you won’t be charred to death in case you are off to a nap. Besides, you can even adjust the motorized roof as per your convenience. The best part is the lounger even has a touchscreen LCD display, DVD player, speakers, USB slot – all powered with solar energy. And the bed is crafted in teak with anodized aluminum. Though the sun bed could not feature in the first three winning entries, this is our favorite pick of the lot.

And the other ones that deserves a mention include the refresh lounge, which has a cold steam option to keep you refreshed while you soak in the sun at the push of a button, with a water bin that recycles the water to avoid wastage, SunCoon, another multifunctional bed for sunbathing and outdoor lounging and Aquamarine, a one-passenger vehicle that mimics swimming movements and is meant for future aquariums.
