Check out this
concept design, Nokia 888 communicator, winner of the Nokia’s Benelux Design
Award.It uses liquid
battery, flexible touch screen, speech recognition, touch sensitive body cover
which lets it understand and adjust to the environment. It has a simple
programmable body mechanism so that it changes forms in different situations.The tagline from
Nokia for this concept design is: "The perfect form does not exist, form
follows you".
This is why I say in my bio I wish I could stay in academia
forever. Look at what research labs are doing! How long do you think until we
have a product that mimics the functions in that video? My guess is less than
10 years. I don’t like that it can flap like that to wake me up, it reminds me
of Gumby, and I was always scared of that cartoon.
