Futuristic Nokia Concepts Reviewed
nitinah writes "Nokia design concepts is an ongoing initiative from the Finnish communications giant that invites designers around the world to create breakthrough cellphone designs. Phonemag has coverage of this year's entries, which includes the
Aki,
a wrist wrap device for programmed self expression that tunes its behavior and outgoing/incoming communications based on the moods and gestures of the user,
and allows 'talking' without speaking, just by gesture.
Another design is the Acibo, which features a mini buddy device that has an entirely voice driven all-in-one personal communicator which
can be charged by bio-energy. More featured concepts include a wearable, shock proof and waterproof device, the SURV1, a necklace based communicator called
the Global Nomad
, and a complete communication device called the Colores, with virtual storage to access all your personal information on the go."
See, now electronic tagging of prisoners can be cool too!
