Draw! The iPhone Quick-Draw System that the Japan Media Arts Festival is presenting in the Future Innovators Exhibit will add a whiff of the Wild West to the high-gloss world of modern media. Inspired by the ingenious pistol delivery contraption used by Robert De Niro’s unforgettable character in Taxi Driver, Mori’s system is a holster that instantaneously slides an iPhone out of your sleeve and into your hand. This is a spectacular gesture that’s made a big splash, thanks to the object itself as well as the accompanying video.
