CUin5 // Superpractical mobile phone // MADE IN MIND
One of many ideas explored in the book, CUin5 was inspired after working with countless big company design specs that all outlined more or less the same thing: a 'ideally-practical' interface with the all-too-typical feature set, driven mainly by new technological feature. But CUin5 pushes this notion to the new level. In this example we look at the 'post-display era' in which you talk with your device and device talks to you, no need for screen anymore. How about a handset in which every face carries a keypad, microphone, and speaker? Imagine grabbing it quickly – from inside your bag, from off a shelf, from under a car seat – and freely interacting with it without needing to turn it over or align it right side up? This was the line of thinking that over several years led me to creation of CUin5. Whichever surface you touch first becomes active and aglow, while the others lock in place. Talk from a wide surface. Talk from the edge. Talk differently each time you answer the phone. See beyond its limitations and read the poetry between the lines.
The NONOBJECT Book is the first of its kind - the first of a new genre we call Design Fiction. In the same way that sci-fi movies and fictional tales stretch your imagination, our hope is to take you on a journey into the future of design and inspiration. We will share stories and concepts that offer a new point of view, a new way of thinking, a new way forward. Of course, as with all fiction, some of our ideas may seem improbable. Don’t worry, we bought the tickets. All you have to do is enjoy the ride.
The NONOBJECT book will include an exclusive DVD with movies of the nonobjects presented in the book plus audio recordings with author’s thoughts behind each of the concepts. Stay tuned.
