Multitouch user interfaces, and if a revolution Nokia mobile device, the researchers felt how it is that it breaks the next revolution.
Show Nokia world, Finnish mobile phone maker showed his Nokia device "with kinetic flexible display. Held in both hands, scroll through music collections or albums when twisted. Bow it outward or inward zoomed images and decrease or paused, played music, when you press the corners move between photos.
Although a true computing device with an OLED display, is absolutely not a real product that anyone can buy today. More firmly prototype category was related flexible device looks like a slim remote control; It could be controlled with one hand.
Tapani Jokinen, who began working on a technology two years ago as part of a group whose purpose is to create designs from Nokia Research step earlier, say when it would come to market or how it worked.
But Chris Bower, stationed nearby on "lounge for the future" of Nokia, there were some ideas. He was showing is a pilot with a bunch of tubes with carbon photographic flexible elastomer. Electrical resistance changes as they are stretched, nanotubes, and measurements of change computer to control how the map zoomed in and out. You can use the same access to control a flexible interface.
Jokinen was diluted predict if can make multitouch user interfaces are today.
But he was passionate about her options.
One of them was the ability to play a "blind," in other words, when you look at it. You can reach into your pocket or wallet call voice mail or pause your music.
Can be ordered flexible phone to take a photo when he bent down properly, it is also proposed. I doubt, given the motion of the camera, but he also predicted that progress in stabilizing the image to take care of the problem.
Another idea to scroll through e-mail while walking, when it can be difficult to control precisely the standard user interface.
And – in contrast to multitouch screens-it can be when you are wearing gloves.
I'm a bit skeptical, especially given that it requires two hands. But I can come around, especially if you attract came around. Something flexible would be nice for Pocket pants, too-as long as Chairman not flex your phone and call.
