Paired devices can upload photos by placing on dock and photos from other cameras can also be shared via cardslot of bluetooth connection.

If you don’t wanna curb the graffiti artist in your tot, German designer Dario Jandrijic has developed an Interactive Painting concept dubbed the “KLEXL” that lets kids express themselves without spoiling the living room walls. Essentially a smart projector, the painting machine allows digital wall printing with an IR tracking camera that you can clean up with ease after your tot is done with his/her masterpiece. Replacing the crayons with light pens and creative blotches with light pixels, the KLEXL not only allows graffiti on the wall but also saves them to re-project years later to cherish early creativity of your toddler.
Look up, peasant, from your soot-stained hands. Drop that shovel into the furrowed ground and gaze upon the magic* that Mozilla has wrought. Concept designer Billy May, working through Mozilla’s “Open Web Concept Phone” project, has gathered community feedback and followed up on some rather mundane visions for the mobile future with this little beauty, the Mozilla Seabird. The completely fictional device has a disturbing initial resemblance to a BlackBerry Storm, but as the video unfolds the functionality is really what sells this thing. The big innovation is the use of dual pico projectors on the side of the handset, which can provide different functionality based on the phone’s orientation: flat on a table they pump out the two halves of a QWERTY keyboard, up on a dock they offer the dual purpose of a large viewing screen above and a seamless projected keyboard below. Other features, like the pop-out wireless pointer / Bluetooth headset are slightly less realistic but no less charming. Now, before you get too excited, you should know that Mozilla has no plans to build this or any phone, they’re just messing around with some fancy 3D software and the bright imagination of their community of users. Still, for the two minutes and thirty seven seconds that the video after the break unfolds, allow yourself to think: “What if?”

The multimedia needs of modern consumers are increasing by the day, and we need some highly advanced devices to withstand the latest technological advancements, while fulfilling new requirements. Developed by the creator of the Mercator, Kingyo xie, the “iHolo” is a futuristic cellphone that makes use of holographic imaging technology to achieve the separation of the contents of the screen, allowing a completely new experience to the user. Featuring advanced technologies, including touchscreen, infrared, Bluetooth and so on, the multimedia cellphone projects the content on any flat surface, so the users could have a life-size screen to realize different applications with ease.
