Soft Phone: Futuristic cell phone made of ‘cotton’!
By Cheryl | February 26, 2008
I opened the day with a futuristic concept, in the same vein comes the next find. I’m talking about a phone that different from the other phones in the material that goes to make it the ‘Soft Phone’!
Made not from plastic or metal but softest cotton, the cell phone will be soft and flexible enough to be squeezed with your hands. Though the phone is soft and light in appearance, but doesn’t go the compromise way when it comes to performance, features and power.
Designed by Qian Jiang, the soft phone is made out of electronic cellulose structures, which make a series of discs with electronic fabric stretched in between, which in turn give the phone its shape.
The phone uses a series of gestures to bring the phone in action. Like you need to squeeze it to hang up and touch to make inputs. The fine fibers are quite optically clear to take the signal and allow light energy to pass thru to display simple contextual menus.
There’s more to it. Just unfurl the collapsible phone and there you have a QWERTY, while a tiny clip made in soft squeezable, stress reducing silica holds the cell antenna, battery, camera, and micro electronics are contained inside a tiny clip which itself is made of soft, squeezable, stress-reducing silica.
Only thing that I couldn’t trace in the phone was the receivers…do tell us if you spot it!
