Nokia Demonstrates The Flexible Device with Kinetic Display

02 Nov 2011

Nokia recently showed off a working prototype of a kinetic device with OLED screen at Nokia World in London. This is a concept device and is not going to be available in the market soon. You need bend and twist to switch across the functionalities.

Nokia’s kinetic concept device though not the first flexible concept gadget but it’s the first one to go beyond the mockup and rendering, come out as a real, usable product. You need to hold the device with your two hands and flex the gadget, along with the screen to interact with it. You bow in and out to zoom in and out of the photos in the gallery. One more bow out draws you to the main menu, whilst you twists the sides to move forward and backward.

Twisting mechanism of the device would further add thrill to gaming, where you flex to move left or right and bow in and out to increase the speed and brakes. Rather many modifications still ought to be done on this, and this is not the final product, a mere prototype. There are many questions regarding to its functioning like how to make a call, send an SMS or how much internal storage it offers, OS, RAM it integrates, processor and such. Also its quite inconvenient to access it with one hand, Nokia must take in to consideration such and many other aspects prior to designing the final product.
