Nokia Morph
One of two very different concept phones from Nokia, the Nokia Morph is a theoretical future device based on nanotechnology to give it a flexible body with a transparent display that could be re-shaped depending on the user’s needs. The concept is currently a theoretical one only, and is the result of research between Nokia and the University of Cambridge.
Featured in The Museum of Modern Art “Design and The Elastic Mind†exhibition, the Morph concept device is a bridge between highly advanced technologies and their potential benefits to end-users.
Even the electronics inside it would be transparent and flexible, so the whole phone may be twisted and stretched into bracelet shapes or tablet form, and nanotech cleverness means it would even clean itself.
Morph concept technologies might create fantastic opportunities for mobile devices:
* Newly-enabled flexible and transparent materials blend more seamlessly with the way we live
* Devices become self-cleaning and self-preserving
* Transparent electronics offering an entirely new aesthetic dimension
* Built-in solar absorption might charge a device, whilst batteries become smaller, longer lasting and faster to charge
* Integrated sensors might allow us to learn more about the environment around us, empowering us to make better choices
