A good few hundred years ago, messages from royal courts were delivered to other kingdoms via scrolls. However, with time, communication technology has evolved by a few leaps but principles behind some of the designs follow the same old patterns. Keeping this thought in mind, an India-based designer, Sudhanwa Chavan, has created a space-saving roll-up cellphone concept. Named as i Roll, this innovative cellphone concept is sure to make waves in the modern world.
How often do we misplace our cellphone at home and public places and how much time we spend in locating it? The answer to these questions would most likely be ‘very often’ and ‘quite a lot’. Here is a cell phone idea designed for Samsung by Johan Loekito that solves our above problems. This cellphone is detachable with a wristband acting as its dock. A proximity sensor would make the wristband emit a tone or vibrate if the phone is too far away from it. Similarly we could find the missing phone just by pressing a button on the wristband. Moreover this phone would also be capable of detecting contacts close by using the same device, thus allowing us to set our privacy and location details. Now if only this phone would be traceable even in silent or switch off modes, it would be of any use.
The Transducer Mobile Phone Concept breaks down the language barrier by being the perfect translator between you and the other caller. It has this cool function that allows all incoming calls to be translated to your preferred language and vice versa. Amongst other features like GPS, transparent LCD and mesmerizing color effects, you can use the phone to communicate with the hearing & sight impaired folks. Far-fetch but a concept we’d love to see become reality.
For those of you, who are looking for a yet another mobile phone concept, check out the new mobile phone by designer Mac Funamizu, Zimmer. You will be amazed at how slim the phone looks and offers great ease in handling. Dig a little deeper and explore an assortment of intuitive features the phone has. We must not miss out its admirable interface, which makes it easy to operate. Well, it looks like a mini iPad, but its design and technological implementation wins over the other models.
Here’s a flip phone that could put the “cool” back into clamshells. When you receive an incoming call, the corner dog-ears up and if need be, opens up (book-style) using actuators like artificial muscles in its elastomeric cover. Awesome! Motorola StarTAC 2.o maybe?
