Transparent, flexible Nokia concept phone takes the 'HumanForm'

11 Nov, 2011 | by Naina Khedekar |

Newer technology innovations walk into the tech terrain at a rapid pace. Recently at the Nokia World, the Finnish firm had showcased its flexible OLED displays and the Kinect device. But little did we know that Nokia’s foldable phone technology could result in this interesting fish-like phone. Though a concept yet, Nokia has crafted the 'HumanForm', a transparent, flexible phone, which looks and feels like a jelly-fish, reveals the Nokia Conversations blog. This latest to come out of the Nokia Research Center is definitely something everyone would want to lay their hands on.

Transparent, flexible phone concept

The company’s commitment towards flexible phones has been seen in the past, but the HumanForm has more to it. The phone's design is flexible enough to change its shape to suit your ears and help deliver a better listening experience. It ensures natural interactions and also has the ability to convey human emotions. So, that's where it gets the name – ‘Human’Form.

What’s more human about it? This completely touch sensitive phone has the ability to recognize its user’s mood. Moreover, it’s not just about seeing an image on a video but also feeling it. The gesture interaction takes the phone concept to a new level altogether. Instead of tapping or swiping across the screen, the device follows your commands on shaking it. Twist the phone to browse and bend it to zoom, sounds as exciting as it would be to use it in person.

The HumanForm is just a concept, yet. It is uncertain whether the phone will make its way to the markets. So, do you think it would replace the existing form of phones in future or are we ready to embrace this new innovation now? Do let us know. Check out the video below for a closer look.

We’ve already established that the Lumia 720 is Nokia’s best effort as far as Windows Phone 8 handsets go. This could soon change once the Lumia 925 hits markets, but as it stands now, the Lumia 720 offers the best blend of features and performance, wrapped in a beautiful package that’s quite affordable.
