Do You Know That T02 is A Slide Cell Phone ?

TheFuture — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:58:15 +0000

Usually, the slide-phones are designed in a way that they look closed when you see them first and when they open up, users can see a step as well as the sliding surface on the backside of the upper portion. TO2 is a marvelously designed sliding phone that looks like a slide-phone when it is closed and when it is open, the step or the sliding surfaces can’t be seen on its backside, giving an impression that it’s meant to be open. TO2 is designed in a black piano finish that gives it a classy look. Moreover, the giant display and the unique keypad give it a modern touch.

Veritas RS III German Sportscar

TheFuture — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 01:37:21 +0000

The Veritas RS III has either a BMW sourced 480hp V8 or a 600hp V10 engine and therefore, the car achieved the incredible 0-100km/h acceleration in just less than 4 seconds. Top speed of this car has been recorded over 200mph and the price will start from $375,000. Both the front and rear view of this car is brilliant and quite confusing as a speedcar. This left hand drive car has room for only the driver and the seat is also placed quite in a distance from the hood. There is only one rear view mirror, placed in a wired position, in the middle of the car just beside the driver. Placing the exhaust pipes has been done quite weirdly too, on the car’s backside just over the branding.

Lighting Map by Owen Song

TheFuture — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 09:29:00 +0000

Light is a concept device combining a map-printed paper and a cover of the same that provides essential guidelines during various disorders. Between the two papers, a paper-like battery and a series of LEDs that turns on when the two electrodes on the cover page’s backside are exposed. Therefore, when the user scrolls the device and put together the electrodes, the LEDs turns on and the entire paper-roll becomes a flashlight. Thus, ‘Light’ is a tool through which people can navigate a map in the darkness as well as use the scroll as a flashlight when the need arises.

Microsoft LucidTouch Concept : Backside Touchscreen

TheFuture — Mon, 10 Mar 2008 06:47:03 +0000

Touchscreen problem would be your fingers getting in the way of small screen. That is why Microsoft bring the concept of backside touchscreen which allow user to control the device from behind but still being able to see their fingers. Microsoft has shown off Microsoft LucidTouch prototype at the TechFest fair, an internal event highlighting key tech from the company’s 800 research and development staff.

According to the company, the key to making this usable is what it calls pseudo-transparency: by overlaying an image of the user?s hands onto the screen, the illusion of the mobile device itself being semitransparent is created. This pseudo-transparency allows users to accurately acquire targets while not occluding the screen with their fingers and hand.

According to Microsoft in initial studies, results suggest that many users found touching on the back to be preferable to touching on the front, due to reduced occlusion, higher precision, and the ability to make multi-finger input.

Actually I do have a problem with touchscreen, I really hate about how many of my finger prints are left on the screen. Microsoft LucidTouch might not solve that problem since this is still a touchscreen, but at least it will reduce the finger prints on my screen problem.
