Launched alongside 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. This device concept showcases some revolutionary
leaps being explored by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration
with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (United Kingdom) – nanoscale
technologies that will potentially create a world of radically different
devices that open up an entirely new spectrum of possibilities.
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
In addition to the advances above, the integrated electronics
shown in the Morph concept could cost less and include more functionality
in a much smaller space, even as interfaces are simplified and usability
is enhanced. All of these new capabilities will unleash new applications
and services that will allow us to communicate and interact in unprecedented
ways.
