For me as a designer ;very interesting!
This is ofcourse only concepts to illustrate possible angles or functions to future products NOT a new collection from fujitsu! -inspiration like concept cars or haute couture in fashion, not ready-to-wear
And you did probably not see this five years ago -because then it would probably be in production by now…
interesting but not easy to use
A couple of these phones do interest me (adjustik, magnet-attached shone), but most of them just seem like an overly complicated way to do less than any smartphone today can do.
This exhibition is very interesting.
Of course these ideas are concepts and not products, but to me they seem innovative approaches.
The “I saw this 5 years ago ” comment is interesting – 5 years ago the mobile market was still figuring out the physical aspects – would slider phones be accepted outside of asia, camera phones were finally entering the US market, and Nokia was trying to enter the flip phone market.
Now in just a few 5 years the industry has moved on to UI,OS, and computing power – something that most of these physical models may have a hard time expressing.
yes, exactly. a design contest!
anything new here? innovative? nope. Most of concepts here’s been done already long ago. Even some of concepts i’ve seen more than 5 years ago.
In add, as i said, most of it looks failed aesthetically. dreary.
I found most of them very interesting. obviously many don’t look very usable on the long run or anyway hard to fit in the production cycle, but geez, it’s a design contest, the point is exactly to push concepts further on.
I don’t understand the negativity I often see in the comments on this blog.
anyway, my favourite of these designs would probably be the F-circle and Adjustick. the chamelephone seems interesting but they didn’t show the UI so it’s hard to say, could be just a brick that reflects things..
great also the fujitsu separate f-04b
They’re not all bad… I like the “Amoeba phone”, the “sliced-up phone” and the “adjustick”, the rest of them are so-so in my view. And wtf is that “Kaora” about??? It looks like something from a sci-fi movie (a spaceship remote?) rather than something I’d use to call someone with.
It clearly denotes why japanese mobile makers struggling in world market. Its not only just abt market strategy, technology, branding, but degenerating aesthetics.
