On the other side - A recordable mirror 2008-12-09 14:52:00 Future scenario:It's the year of 2012. Natalie Portman is sitting in the back seat of the limo. She is on her way to the academy awards. She makes a quick call to her manager. Then flips the phone around and slides up the face of the phone to reveal the mirror. She checks her look and presses the record button for ten seconds and says a few words. Then sends the movie to a friend.This is one usage
IPhone - A waste of space 2008-12-07 09:48:00 Don't get me wrong. I love my IPhone. It has all the functionality that I need to retrieve information and to communicate with other people. Plus a whole lot more: a camera, calendar, maps, Ipod, YouTube, weather etc. My previous phone, a Sony Ericsson, is light years behind IPhone when it comes to usability. The touch screen is surprisingly easy to use. You almost don't even have to read the ma Read more:waste
Scratch it! 2008-12-02 13:16:00 I've been thinking a little of the idea of a context sensitive time navigator. Is there any use for such a thing? Isn't the good old scroll bar sufficient for that purpose? Maybe so. To test the idea, here's an example of how a time navigator, the turntable, could work in order to move in time. Spinning the inner circle allows the user to move in time at a faster pace than the outer circle. In an Read more:Scratch
Time machines 2008-11-26 14:02:00 You might know that Apple's operating system Mac OS X has a backup utility called "Time machine". It creates incremental backups of files which can be restored at a later date. It allows the user to restore the whole system, multiple files, or even a single file. For example photos, contacts or calendar events. That's awesome.But what about the "time machines
" in the applications we use every day?
Hey Mr DJ! 2008-11-22 15:58:00 Have you ever visited a really fancy night club? With the coolest, the most good looking people. But there is one guy at the place who is cooler than the rest. He's often standing in a corner by himself. Looking very serious. He is Mr DJ. At least he thinks he's cooler than the rest. But really, he controls the place. He makes people dig, he makes people dance. So why do we need Mr DJ? Wouldn't b
Shape - The round mobile device (discs) 2008-11-22 06:05:00 One advantage with a round
all-in-one mobile device would be the ability to load media content from discs such as CD:s, DVD:s, Blu-ray etc. Just insert the disc into your device, and you're ready to consume the media content. Just like an ordinary portable CD player. I guess you could have a disc player in a rectangular device as well. But the round one would be optimal when it comes to minimizati Read more:Shape
Shape - The round mobile device 2008-11-21 13:34:00 I have to start somewhere. Why not explore shapes? So, in the name of being exhaustive, lets start with the circle. Why would you need a round
mobile device? I don't know. It sounds ridiculous, I know. But think of it this way: If the human race faced extinction unless we all used round mobile devices, then what would we do? Create one of course! How would it work? Are there any advantages with a Read more:Shape
Prologue 2008-11-21 11:41:00 Welcome! In this blog I will try to think of how tomorrow's computers, the handhelds, will function and look like. This blog is about getting my thoughts out. Stupid or clever ones. No filtering. To be completely exhaustive. If you find one of my ideas interesting, don't hesitate to comment or add your own perspective and thoughts to it. I'll embrace them all. Read more:Prologue
