Projecting Smartphone Pendants

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Ursla and Bertha Displays Notifications and News in Full 3D

— November 10, 2011 — Tech
Ursla and Bertha is a unique concept phone from designer Mac Funamizu that takes mobile 3D to the next level. Ursla and Bertha is a two-part device consisting of a mobile phone and a projector pendant. The pendant is designed to be worn around the neck and projects important notifications and other information right in front of your face in full 3D.

Ursla and Bertha projects the information in front of you as sort of a "heads up." Accessing the information and controlling the phone is still done using the physical phone itself. There are already projector attachments for smartphones and 3D phones in the works, so a design such as this may actually have a shot at going from concept to reality sometime soon. Talk about accessorizing with your smartphone.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile 3D - The concept of projecting notifications and information in full 3D opens up opportunities for immersive mobile experiences.
2. Wearable Projectors - The integration of projectors into wearable accessories like pendants presents new possibilities for convenient and visually engaging information display.

Industry Implications

2. Fashion - The fashion industry can collaborate with technology companies to design stylish and functional wearable projector pendants, blurring the line between fashion and tech.
3. Mobile Technology - The mobile technology industry can capitalize on the trend of smartphone accessories by developing and marketing innovative products like projector pendants to enhance smartphone capabilities.
