*통합형 디바이스, 후지쯔 'nesting pc virtual tablet' by toru tomiji - 'FUJITSU design award 2011' competition shortlisted entry

통합형 디바이스의 미래를 보여주다: 디바이스마다 포지셔닝이 다르다. 아이폰과 같은 스마트폰이 다르고 아이패드와 같은 터치패드의 포지셔닝은 다르다. 하지만 아직은 이 모든것을 통합적으로 관리 할 수 있는 디바이스가 없는 현실이다. 후찌스가 제안하는 통합형 디바이스는 이 문제를 해결한다. 시디, 메모리카드, 전화기, 유에이스비...통합관리하여 새로운 멀티미디어를 재생산해 낸다. 재생된 컨텐츠는 다시금 디바이스로 연결되어 다른 디바이스로 확장된다.

a concept by japanese designer toru tomiji, 'nesting pc virtual tablet' is a combination laptop and data visualization interface with automatic battery charging and data syncing. phones, memory cards, CDs, USB ports, and I/O cables can be plugged directly into the device, where they will show up as images on the touchscreen for easy manipulation and access. the design was shortlisted from over 1000 concepts in our recent designboom competition 'a life with future computing', organized in collaboration with FUJITSU.

the 13-inch concept tablet features a dedicated dock for mobile phones. when inserted, a visualization of the phone onscreen works in the same manner as would the device itself, permitting dialing, calling, texting, and other use. the loading of disk media or flash drives offers a similar intuitive functionality. integrated charging eliminates the need for AC or outlet-specific adapters for these kinds of devices.

n the words of the designer:
'today we have various types of computer interfaces, so the project [uses their] valuable functions but integrates their meaning.
it is a visualization of your intuition, an interface on an interface, a nesting structure of digital vision.'
