anytime that a company has to resort to making videos
of products, rather than making products, it's in serious trouble.
it signifies something, a desperate need for attention,
a need to be seen as relevant, a distraction from the design of the actual
products?
Hi Brian
You should
But I do think that it signifies something, a desperate need for attention,
a need to be seen as relevant, a distraction from the design of the actual
products?
I disagree. Creating concept videos like this is a common tool in the
product design world to understand how an idea may be crazy

I also wanted to point out that the scenario very purposefully
doesn't focus on the device itself. The phone/watch/etc.
I think it's interesting that the video uses hand-drawn animation
and a handwriting-style font to humanize the technology. The music is
really touchy-feely and the woman is not in a business setting, but
at an outdoor cafe. They're trying to suggest that this will be the
complete opposite
You should probably be aware that the company you refer to sells 1 million
mobile phones every single day of the year including Saturdays, Sundays and
holidays.
Yes, this the same company that has sold hundreds of millions of
devices over a decade and never came even close to the power and

am having a hard time seeing how this sort of tool would benefit human
Wow! what isn't IxD here. Not sure why the single user makes a
difference.
But the fact that form is not static in a physical device, that fact
that there are innovations in sensing, imaging, etc. will drastically
change the way we interact with devices and what functionality we
conceive to put
I sort of agree w/ Wired's take on the whole thing, albeit very cool to think
about.
Nokia's Morph concept phone offers an image of the future. It is a future
where, despite nanotechnology being so advanced we can fabricate integrated
circuits, displays and physical interfaces that are able

I have to agree with Dave here. The prospect of having devices that
behave in a completly different way based on context would be earth
shattering.
An example is one of the first iPhone commercials that came out with
the guy that was complaining about having to always carry around 3

The Nokia Morph concept is awesome! I just wrote an article for a
class assignment on nanotechnology for new medical drug uses. It was
my first time learning what nanotechnology actually was, and the
potential of its abilities. I find it amazing, and a little scary at
the same time.
I agree
Hi Josh --
Thanks for sharing the video, I also found it to be really
interesting.
From a future interaction point of view, I find this concept very
short sighted. Not only is does the concept not demonstrate more
social interaction (as you have mentioned), but the interaction is
still focused
I have a theory that anytime that a company has to resort to making videos
of products, rather than making products, it's in serious trouble. Can
anyone think of a company that made a visionary video and later made a
visionary product?
The examples of companies that ran into trouble after making
