Using complex voice recognition software, THE POD reacts to your every word. Simple commands such as "CALL TOM", or "SEND TEXT MESSAGE TO" directs the pod to do what you ask. This also allows THE POD to be compatible with other non-pod devices because you can still complete "stone-age" cellular device techniques such as manual text messaging. When a call comes into your device, you hear it in your ear, when a text-message comes in, THE POD gives you the option to either read the text later or now upon which it is spoken into your ear.
But the best feature of the pod isn't its hand-free nature or voice commands but its ability to project holographic images. THE POD when not in use can be removed and attached to a necklace (comes with the phone) or to any article of clothing on the upper body. In order to access the web to check mail, websites, browse etc. the user must press the projector button located on the pod which projects a holographic keyboard and screen in front of them. With this, users can use the internet and "put it away" when they are done.
The device is also customizable as consumers would have the option to choose from various skins and accessories such a chains, pocket clips, charging stations and etc. THE POD would most likely be available on carriers such as sprint, at&t, verizon and would be designed with the business man/woman in mind.

This is a very interesting and innovative idea. Personally, I to have thought about this type of device but not in the great detail that you have mapped out here. I think this is something that will be great for the average business person to have for it can speed up many practices that take place in the workplace. My main issue with this is safety. specifically driving. We cannot have people driving around in there cars looking at holograms. However, I understand it will also improve that scenario with the texting via voice command . Overall this is a solid project idea and is something that should be invested in.
ReplyDeleteI like this idea a lot. It is very different from any other phone I have ever seen before. It is also safe for drivers and makes multi tasking a lot easier for people.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a very good idea. When we are driving, we can make phone calls or send massage just by saying. However, I think there is a problem. The phone may hard to recognize what we are saying and make mistakes. Some words are not in the dictionaries, and phone can not recognize this words.
ReplyDeleteI think that you have a very interesting and futuristic idea here. I also enjoy the fact that you used pictures to better help explain your idea! This seems like a more advanced version of the wireless headsets that are marketed today. It makes me wonder if there is any company out there working on a similar product.
