Ultimate PDA
By ZapWizard
I created these rendering for a contest on The-Gadgeteer.com, which I forgot to send in.
But here are the idea's for your enjoyment
The ultimate PDA would work very similar to a PC, only more natural.
You would have a Main PDA unit, Display Unit, and Input Device
The Main PDA Unit (CPU)
The CPU would be about the size and weight of a wallet.
It would have a pop-up screen that would be release by a push to open mechanism.
It would tilt to be readable while sitting on a table.
It would have built in wireless connectivity, a Secure Digital slot, and Compact Flash Slot.
It would have stereo speakers, and a 800x600 Transreflective LCD.
The case would be metal, with rubber edges for grip.
The Display
The display would be a stereoscopic set of eyeglasses.
The translucency of the image could be changed on the fly.
Plus the tint could be changed for use as sunglasses.
It would have an eye tracking system to allow for mouse movement.
It would have stereo camera's to enhance real world viewing, and input device tracking.
and a set of stereo Ultrasonic transducers that would generate localized 3d sound for the user.
Input Device
The input device would be a ring that the user would wear on their finger.
It would be charged by movement from the user.
The outer ring would glow, and change colors to provide for silent alarms, and indicators.
On the inside would be two electrodes transceivers.
These would measure clicking response, handwriting, and movement.
They would also allow for tactile feedback, feeding senses into the user's nervous system.
