Any device requires an input medium, but not this Communication gadget designed by Marat Kudryavtsev. The device simply hooks onto an ISQ server and projects the images onto a plane surface. It even pops out a virtual keyboard and screen, which BTW is the latest fad in technology. A slim baton that does it all. Unique!

Futuristic Information Ring

The concept of this ring comes from how you manage to save all informations about the person that you just met. Wearing this ring, when people first meet and shake hands, the rings on the fingers get close enough to operate and begin to download all basic information about the ring owner. This ring works on both side, so they exchange basic informations, the more people you meet, the more informations are saved in your ring. This ring was designed by Hideaki Matsui, hopefully we can seethe ring in the future.

When you need to retrieve the information, the ring card can help you browse the information that was stored in the ring, and you don’t have to worry about the power source, it is provided by human temperature, no need any plug.

Futuristic Scroll MID Concept

I’m not sure how practical it would be if it ever existed, but a Korean company has created this rather interesting scroll-inspired MID concept design that I think is worth a quick look.

It’s difficult to get an idea of the size of the “foldable glass monitor” that presumably coils up inside the ornate casing, but it features a large touchscreen area (no OS, I see) sandwiched between informational toolbars that display the language/time and mode options.

I actually kind of like the whole scroll thing, as the idea of pulling out a fully functional screen from what simply looks like a decorated tube appeals to me for some reason, but I wonder how sturdy the display would be when extended. It would obviously have to be able to withstand a certain amount of pressure without flexing like a piece of paper or flying back into the housing while you’re interacting with the screen.

How would you interact with the screen anyway? My first thought would be that you’d have to lay it out on a flat surface; it doesn’t seem like a one- or two-handed device to use while lounging on the couch or walking around.

I doubt that something like this would ever really be released anyway, but I still wouldn’t mind giving one a try.
