A French designer duo has unveiled a new concept for the future smartphone which is made around holograms, voice control and face-tracking technology with translucent gelatinous features, media reported.<\/p>\n
The smartphone, called Alo, will be designed in a way that is appropriate for the palm of a hand, said Philippe Starck and Jerome Olivet.<\/p>\n
Controlled by voice commands, every time the user wants to open a text message or watch a movie on the device, it will pop up in a 3D hologram.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlo provides a fully vocalised interface in all phone functions, reads SMS and emails, and even allows them to dictate their messages rather than typing them,\u201d design magazine dezeen.com quoted Olivet as saying.<\/p>\n
The translucent skin emits vibrations by producing heat depending on its activity and its skin repairs automatically as soon as it is damaged.<\/p>\n
The holographic images will be projected by a so-called \u201ceye\u201d which will allow the reader to read the texts he detects or to identify the faces.<\/p>\n
Moulded aluminium alloy core at the centre of the device will function as haptic interface giving feedback through heat as well as vibration.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile it is currently only a concept, Olivet plans to develop Alo, or a version of it, into a prototype. It is attached to French electronics brand Thomson,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n
