Hologram/Projector Mobile device
The past few years, we have seen mobile phones developing rapidly. They started off as simple devices providing services such as making phone calls or sending sms. The future of mobile devices though is unpredictable and no one can really foresee what mobile device capabilities will be in 10 years from now. New services are being added on a regular basis each year. The mobile industry is huge and whoever wants to become a pioneer in this field must come up with the “coolest” ideas of services that their mobile device can offer to the public or to businesses since mobility is an advantage to those that make use of it. The users vary from very young ages to older generations.
However it is mostly the youngsters that make use of the multimedia services provided to them. Video recording…taking pictures….downloading ringtones…sending email..browsing the web….
Now this is the point where the idea is born. You have the younger generations being really excited about new features that come out each time, especially those that have to do with multimedia services. Well there’s something there that I want to see happening. I was always fascinated by science fiction films and especially by the hologram technology “used” as a way of communication. At the time being technology has not reached that point but significant progress has been made in developing a fully functional hologram.
Now the idea is to create a mobile device that will be used by kids for viewing their favorite videos with their friends. The screen size of a mobile restricts that option to users at the moment and you certainly don’t want to have a huge screen cause then that won’t be a mobile device anymore. Imagine Chris, a 12 year old super-excited kid that wants to show his friends this new video or pictures that took recently….now he won’t be able to show simultaneously to a group of 5 the video since the screen size is tiny for everyone to be able to watch at. What if Chris was given the capability of putting his mobile on some surface..select the option “Display Hologram Video” and sit back with his mates enjoying the video being displayed in a 3D form.
If this goes too far then the alternative solution to hologram would be a projector. We’ve all more or less seen or used a projector before. A necessity in this case is to have a surface to project onto. Now Chris can select the option “Project video” or “Project photo gallery” on a wall in his room or on some other white surface and show his friends his videos or photos.
The target audience of course is not just kids; however, for the purposes of this project we consider that the users of such device are of young age.

In my opinion this is a great idea since kids are definitely going to be excited with this kind of futuristic stuff. Also, it's a project that we can add many things into and design an intuitive interface for a mobile device that appeals to kids.
wicked idea xristos
