[Sigia-l] CUin5

[Ziya Oz]

Here is a preview of non.object CUin5 mobile phone. One of many ideas
explored in the book, CUin5 was inspired by countless big company design
specs that all outlined more or less the same thing: a Œsuper-practical¹
interface with the all-too-typical feature set. But CUin5 pushes this notion
to the level of absurdity: 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 finally to conceive 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. See
beyond its limitations and read the poetry between the lines.

You be the judge, I'm just pointing. ;-)
