MAX YOSHIMOTO<br />
VP, Design,<br />
Lunar Design<br />
Our goal is to get<br />
people to think<br />
differently about<br />
how to trade media<br />
back and forth. It’s<br />
an idea based around<br />
flexible electronics<br />
techniques—flexible<br />
printed circuit boards,<br />
displays, and power.<br />
It’s almost like a<br />
postcard of the future.<br />
MICROMEDIA PAPER<br />
The Concept: Bringing<br />
the concept of moving,<br />
talking photos from<br />
Harry Potter to real life,<br />
this paper-thin media<br />
player—complete with<br />
display, battery, and<br />
memory—lets you<br />
record video. Send it<br />
as a greeting card to<br />
Grandma and she<br />
can watch it without<br />
fiddling with a PC or<br />
DVD player. A tenpack<br />
will sell for around<br />
$35. All the enabling<br />
technologies are now<br />
in development.<br />

GELFROG<br />
The Concept: For kids<br />
only: This super-pliable<br />
rubberized notebook<br />
is not only rugged<br />
and lightweight but<br />
light-years ahead in<br />
software design. The<br />
gelfrog’s smart skin acts<br />
as a mobile mirror, a<br />
photo slide show, or a<br />
video projector. Using its<br />
micro camera, it can run<br />
a cloning algorithm that<br />
scans the owner’s outfit<br />
and projects a matching<br />
pattern on its own<br />
surface. Students can<br />
scan images from their<br />
surroundings and can<br />
study several topics<br />
via a single interface.<br />
