Prototype smart phone made of electronic paper has been made by Canadian researchers.
PaperPhone can do anything like in the smart phone such as calling, sending short messages, play music and includes an electronic book.
This gadget will perform different functions and features when folded and bent at the corners and sides.
Everything''could be seen and felt like this in the next five years,''said the creator of Dr. Roel Vertegaal.
This smart phone comes from collaboration between researchers at the Human Media Lab at Queen's University, Canada and Motivational Environments Research Group at Arizona State University.
This computer''looks, feels and operates like a small interactive paper,''so the question Dr. Vertegaal.
You interact with a folded''into a cellphone, fold corners into a book or write with a pen,''he continued.
The prototype was made a few millimeters thick e-ink technology used in electronic book Kindle from Amazon. And then combined with a flexible sensor technology and touch screen to draw or write.
This prototype was made to investigate how easy it is to the folding and expanding a tool like this.
Version originally linked to a laptop computer for translating and recording.
Dr. Vertegaal predicts the use of wide version PaperPhone possibility of creating a paperless office closer to realization.
PaperPhone prototype will be shown May 10 at the Computer Human Interaction conference in Vancouver.
At the same time the research team will show off a device called a Snaplet. This tool will feature different functions depending on how he folded.
