Pilotfish’s bendy music phone concept
Posted in: Uncategorized
The last time we brought you news of Pilotfish, it was back in ’06, following their Onyx touchscreen cell phone concept, which unfortunately never saw actual production. Perhaps things will be different with their new Ondo, a flexible (literally) music phone currently making the blog rounds.
Umur Sener, industrial designer for the Ondo, told CNET Asia in a phone interview: “We are doing a concept to show what’s the next step for mobile phones and what it can be in the near future. We are not just talking about 20 years, but more like two to five years. The technology is getting there and that’s our main goal with the Ondo.”
The Ondo features three detachable “sticks”, each with its own OLED screen, internal flash memory, microphone and power supply. Together, they form the main touch display of the phone. When detached from the chassis, each can be clipped onto musical instruments or a person to capture audio streams.
The housing of the Ondo will be made from a bendable material with piezoelectric properties that give it music-editing capabilities. There’s also a physical fine-tune dial for the remixing of audio files.
Alas, the photos you see above are not yet of a working prototype; the Ondo is still in the concept stages. Will keep you posted if it starts “getting real.”
