You see this weird ass plastic-looking thing? Apparently it’s a condom, and it could be the next big thing in safe sex. The Origami is a collapsible silicone condom inspired by, well, origami, and it’s designed to be a stronger, more comfortable, and realistic alternative to latex. They’re also going to make a variety of condom types, including a male, female, and anal condom.
From what we can tell, it looks a little thicker than the typical latex condom, but it seems like there’s some pretty snazzy technology at work here. Check out a demonstration with the male model:

The developers of Origami hope to have these condoms out by 2015. Until then, this project is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
