The Von Mobile Phone Answers When You Knock

— July 20, 2011 — Tech
Tangible buttons offer a relatively easy way to program user effective interaction with technological gadgets, but what's suggested with the Von Mobile Phone is a more intuitive human means of communicating with your handheld device.

Mac Funamizu has conceived an extensive portfolio of cutting-edge concept smartphones, and where this particular model embodies a more conventional outward appearance, its mode of operation is where it deviates from the rest.

When using this unusual cellphone, it becomes apparent that the tall touchscreen is sensitive to more than just points of heat. You actually knock on the surface of the display to request unread messages, shake it to read them and tap the rhythm of your favorite song on the Von Mobile Phone in order to call up the track on the media player.
