Cellphones That Could See Through Walls, In Theory
By Vlad | October 2, 2008
There have been a number of concept phones, which have been covered on this blog, but there couldn’t be anything like the one that we are going to reveal just now. The KDDI scientists have developed a concept phone that could see through the walls and in fact see through opaque surfaces.
The prototype was created using geomagnetic sensors, accelerometers, GPS etc. The device is equipped with high technology, which enables it to determine its own position and also render its surroundings on screen in OpenGL, which consists areas that are not visible. However this phone is still in a theory stage and has not been manufactured yet, even conceptually.

By Andrew | April 28, 2008
While reading, writing, working on a Laptop or for that matter doing anything with the support of your lap, you might have felt the need of that extra height to get the perfect inclination to do the task without straining your eyes back and posture and what comes to handy at that time is a pillow or may two at times.
But now, stuffing pillows below your laptop will have a better and a high-tech substitute with the coming in of this concept called the “Airboard”. Place the board on your lap and with its pumping action, thanks to its built in pump you can easily adjust the inclination of the board to a convenient angle and carry on the task in a much better way.
The product is just a concept as of now. we hope it drives some good amount of pickers as it sees the dawn of production. A good option for students and execs on the move!

Phone where you don’t have to dial a number
By Andrew | October 22, 2007
Most of you will agree when I say that it is the elderly people who need cell phones at max and they are the only ones who usually face problem when operating the cumbersome cell phones.
If you also have one such grandpa or granny at your place, whom you want to be totally independent when home alone, then get home this new phone as it is out in the market.
With this phone at hand, remembering the tedious process of dialing that 9 digit long number will not be any issue as this phone does away with need of dialing. It comes with a bunch of RFID tagged badges, where in you can feed numbers and the corresponding photos.
And all they have to do is just place the badge of the concerned person on thebig call button at the center and push. The phone will read the RFID info and make the call. Don’t you think they’ll love it…yes they will.

New Concept phone with a built in projector
By Andrew | October 17, 2007
For those corporate souls who breathe in the air of business most of the time and are no better than a handicap in a meeting sans their projector needed for a presentation….have a reason to smile.
What?
Here is the most compact …utterly personal and all time and anywhere available projector. Actually it would be an injustice to tag this wonder gadget as just a projector or for that mater as just a phone, which it also is.
We are talking about this new concept phone designed by Stefano Casanova. This one is not only new in its looks but also homes a few chic features including a Windows Mobile OS, a rotating screen with a built-in projector set in an ultra slim bod. The only problem is that it’s still a concept and you have to wait till it materializes into a chic phone to put your hands upon.
