Future TUI (Tangible User Interface) mobile phone. This is a post-Looking Glass concept; I’m thinking this type of user interface will be commercialized after touchscreen hopefully within a few decades.
As matter of fact, Looking Glass has two sequels in my head.
Looking Glass –> FiiL –> ???
I’ll make a post of the 3rd concept after I make a few that introduce more application examples of FiiL.
Basically this is a touchscreen, but this mobile phone lets you “feel” what you’re touching. The flexible screen surface makes z-axis movements and takes shapes of buttons, switches and so on.
For example, you toggle a switch to unlock the phone.
Buttons are now real buttons that you can feel the height of. You also feel the pressure when you push it.
Not leveled ground can be instantly scanned and rendered on the screen, which must be helpful for visually disabled people.
Solar charging. How much is completed can be known by its shape.
