After seeing jonny lee's video, and the concept video for the Morph device (a nanotech driven concept cell phone thingy that you can fold and re-arrange to change its function)

I got the weird idea for a cell phone interface built around foldable displays.

Imagine and small projector that mounts on your neck or something. It's somehoe conjoined with an IR camera, possibly a gutted wiimote. In your pocket is your cell phone..sort of. In your pocket is actually a Chinese folding fan with IR LEDS on the corners. Your physical cell phone is in another pocket, you don't need to interface directly with it.

When you want to use your cell phone, you pull out your fan and IR stylus, fold out the fan, and the projector projects a morphed version of your cell phone display onto the fan (possibly it projects a pretty japanese fan design when it's in idle, and smoothly transitions to show a screen and such. Because the screen is now very big, and you have a stylus, a full QWERTY keyboard can easily be displayed and manipulated with the stylus.


when done, just fold up the fan into your pocket.



of course this is all concept at the moment, i don't know a lick of code, and even less about structuring it. I think it would be freaking awesome but probably isn't possible (yet).

oh and first post

wait, has anyone actually tried this at all yet? I suspect this is what jonny lee was getting at in his foldable displays video, but he never really went further into this.
