...communication evolution


…created for calls, developed in multi-connection platforms with the most advanced computing abilities and application functionalities: here the SMARTPHONE.                          
A research published at ASYMCO.COM is forecasting that, within five years, all phones will be smartphones. But how will smartphones and their usage evolve? “Human interface” is definitely playing a key role in defining how it will look like…                                             
 Microsoft is currently working on the development of a new interface for Windows 8 phones, based on gesture recognition and advanced control movement (VR-Zone.com).         
Other companies (such as Hillcrest Labs) are moving in the same direction to create the “next-generation user experience” through multi-platforms devices for gesture recognition (infohq.com)                                                                                                                   
As reported in the article at ECNMAG.COM, this new smartphone generation will modify our habits and allow us to complete a larger number of tasks.                                                      
But do you really believe that the final result of this evolutionary process will be a “totally humanized phone”, as proposed by the following Nokia research - HumanForm, able not only to capture visible movements, but also to understand and translate feelings through emotional interactions?

  1. I have just been blown away by the Translate app on my phone. It overlays the translation on the actual text. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBmvv2UPMiE

  2. It really represents a great step forward in human interfaces technology. The service helps to overcome instantaneously all the language barriers, allowing interaction with environment and people around you...wherever you are! (as additional example, Word Lens, an app for Iphone based on real time translation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2OfQdYrHRs)
