The power of imagination does not have boundaries. This was proved again by the Japanese scientists. Researchers from Japan have designed a mobile phone which has a form of a naked doll without gender and when it is touched, it seems to people that they touch human skin.
Science is going forward, but is it necessary for people to have a human-shaped phone? The researchers working in the Osaka University made an announcement about the creation of a human-shaped mobile which feels like human skin as it has a coating of this kind. As the producers said the main aim was to let people “feel closer” to each other when they are separated by the distance. This is even more surprising for us as we know that people in Japan do not touch faces of each other during the communication.
The device was described as revolutionary. The prototype is a little more sizable than the hand of the person. The speaker is located in the head of the genderless doll. One can see LED light in the chest, which has a function to inform users about standby mode or when it is used.
Upcoming iterations of the gadget are going to possess voice recognition, image recognition therefore your mobile phone will know your appearance and your voice. It is planned that the gadget will appear on sale during next 5 years. The idea is definitely fun.
