If you want to see how the future of Nokia handsets could be, take a look to this concepts from Provoke presented in New York at the HARDCORE New Finish Design exhibition 2008.
Provoke says, its Express, Share, and Feel concepts (pictured left to right) represent its 2012 vision of mobile handset design.
Express your mood with illumination.
The Express concept enables the user to enhance his/her current mindset instantly by totally transforming the device – changing the color will be possible electronically. The pace and intensity of visual contrast between the different states can be customized to suit personal liking.
Share urban extreme sport challenge.
Technology will enable new forms of intellectual networking and augmented reality. The Share concept enables communication and sharing of information through personalized codes formed in subgroups of likeminded individuals.
Feel the touch of your loved one.
In the future, the user interface will eventually step out of the display. Feel has a specialized user interface and touch simulation to enable deep communication.
This concepts are great, but the “touch” concept scares me. Imagine people feeling other people caress from a plastic handset, um! it doesn´t sound lovely.
