The Mobile Phone with a Multiple Personality

Nowadays just about all mobile phones combine a whole host of functions such as telephone, MP3 player, camera, games console, GPS receiver, internet browser etc. Putting all these together can be a little confusing and lead to complicated operating systems and menu structures.

Enter the new phone, if you want to call it a phone. In fact you could call it any of the things that it does, for it will essentially morph into any one of them depending on how you hold it. Point it at something and it will turn into a camera, pick it up another way and it is a games controller, handle it differently and it morphs into a PDA, etc. It even morphs into a phone.

This strange looking phone has two display screens, one on each side. It also has a number of accelerometers built into it and seventy two sensors around its periphery. These sensors follow the movement of the user's fingers. As everybody is different the device has to learn from its owner exactly what is expected of it when it is held in a certain way. Although it has some basic patterns built in, until it is trained it only gets it right about three quarters of the time, but when it has been trained it knows what it is expected to do about 95% of the time.

At the moment this is still in the experimental and prototyping stages, but this highly innovative approach is creating considerable interest and it is expected that at least a variant of it that combines accelerometers with a sensitive touch-sensitive skin will soon be incorporated into future generations of mobile phones.

There are potentially security advantages too. Potentially the phone could be trained to recognise its owner and refuse to operate if anyone else attempted to use it.
