Nokia 2030 Cellphone Concept!


Here’s the Nokia cellphone concept of 2030, in case you wanted a taste of the future… Created by Jim Chan, the Nokia 2030 features a scratch-resistant finished body, plus a full color display and an illuminated touch keypad.

Fast messaging is the purpose of this unit and we learn that the phone measures 2 x 4.75 x 0.25 inches and attaches colored films at the rear, to change its color. Polished titanium is the choice of metal for the case area that protects the screen. This handset looks like some sort of futuristic keycard that grants access to a high tech facility and we bet it’ll have e-wallet features and a transparent UI.





Samsung Jot: Rotary Dial Cellphone.

Developed as a concept for Samsung, the “Jot” by designer Raymond Bessemer is a mobile communication device that uses a capacitive OLED display, removable stylus and physical rotary dial to allow mobile communication in a fun and intuitive way. Developed for the year 2015, the new communication device replaces the keypad with a rotary dial for making calls.

Communation in modern world.

In today's modern era communication has transformed in a vast manner. The time of emails, internets, mobile, etc have been introduced in this 21st century. There were times when there were the system of letter and gramophones. The gramophones then were also very rare amongst the people. The system of letters were very much use in the olden times. People used letters as a medium of communication. They wrote letters to their beloved ones who were away from them. The letters then were sent and received very late.
But now it is not so .The developing technologies have brought many useful devices for communication. Devices such as computers, mobiles, telephones, emails, and internet have made life of the people very easy in communication amongst their own ones. One can easily get the condition and life of other people who is away from home. The inventors today have been developing new technologies every second. The invention of internet has made us very comfortable because the letters that use to take days to be sent now is sent in some seconds. Mobiles have made us easy as it can be carried from one place to another. It can also be taken to the places where there are no land phones. So this is another great invention by the inventors.
So the communication in modern world is very fascinating as it is very comfortable and easy to use. One can easily see the changes that have been brought from the old period to this modern era by the skilled people. So in conclusion one can easily read that the communication of modern world is far more better than that it was in the old days of the world.

Stick Talk – Universal Communication Device For Deaf And Blind.

Communication with the hearing and visually impaired usually gets chaotic, especially when you don’t have any idea of Braille or sign language. Providing a solution, Korean designer Sungjun Cha has come up with an innovative device called the “Stick Talk” that when talking to a deaf person displays your spoken words on a screen to ensure easy communication. While on the other hand, the hearing impaired can express his/her thoughts by writing sentences on the palm with the stick, which senses the text to either display it on the screen or verbalize it for the listener. The Stick Talk not just makes conversation possible between a normal person and the deaf or blind, but between the deaf and the blind as well.

What will communication devices look like in 2033?

Twenty-five years after the creation of the cell phone, designers at Motorola imagined what cell phones might look like in another twenty five years. The Consumer Xperience Design (CXD) team created a portfolio of sketches that look beyond what is possible today and imagine the possibilities of the future.

A design submission from the UK uses holographic projection and gesture detection with an added virtual layer of information and avatars. Second Sight lets users see the world in a whole new way through touch screens and holographic displays to make the communications experience more interactive.

Seoul engineers envision a gel-type phone that adheres to skin, with the display worn around the eye area and an interface worn on the arm. These adhesive devices work as a connector and sensor with interaction between the two allowing for communication and expression of personal style.

In 2033, the “cell phone” could be an extension of our bodies and senses, where information could be exchanged and communication could be achieved through universal gestures. Moreover, embedded technology could become more accepted, designs could be more varied and shape-shifting technologies could enable people to adapt devices for different needs.

Similar to a scrapbook, the MEM, also from UK engineers, saves experiences and allows users to share memories with others throughout life. As more memories are made and stored, intricate patterns begin to form on the outside surface, a metaphor for the creation of our brain’s neural networks.

North American engineers also came up with a slick, wearable device with holographic images that follows a user’s hand to signal incoming calls and messages. Users simply turn their palm upward to receive messages, flip their wrist outward to send and bring their hand to their ear to take a private call.

By 2033:
— Communication could be ambient, always on, and people could live online
— Computers and mobile devices could be embedded in the ordinary
— “Using Software” could vanish; only interface and human interaction would remain
— Device interaction could become natural, predictive, and fluid
— Mollecular manufacturing could revolutionize production
— Objects could access ‘The Cloud’ at will

By opening the transponder cap, the display mode of this design from Latin American engineers activates and allows users to define the display in any shape and size. The touch screen, set in motion by oxygen-activated liquid crystals, appears once the cap is taken off. To end connectivity close the cap and the display will dissolve.

The CXD teams from around the globe, including China, Korea, North America, Latin America and the UK sketched their visions of what cell phones could look and function like in 2033. Based on both technological advances and regional preferences, the design teams created sketches tailored to each region’s unique priorities and tastes.
