Short Text Messages In Mid-Air

Posted by timothy on from the clever-finns dept.

bahree writes "The BBC is running an interesting story on how Nokia is making a mobile that lets you write short text messages in mid-air. The messages are written using a row of LEDs fitted on the rear cover of Nokia's forthcoming 3220 phone. A motion sensor in the phone makes the lights blink in a sequence that spells out letters when the handset is waved in the air."

  1. Holey Spokes by stoolpigeon · · Score: 4, Informative

    Kind of like Hokey Spokes but not as big or cool really. But it will sell with the junior high crowd I predict.
