Mac Funamizu's awesome holophone and theft-proof umbrella
Posted by hipstomp | 30 Jun 2009

Mac Funamizu's entry in a recent cell phone design competition anticipates a time when holography will become common.

The technology of holography is progressing day by day. In 10 years, I hope it will have already been developed for mass production and will of course used in our mobile phones. The area conventionally used for a display in a mobile phone will no longer need to be a screen with 3D projectors. Instead, it could be a hole....

Another one of his product concepts was designed to combat a problem that, surprisingly, I encountered often in otherwise crime-free Japan: umbrella theft.
