Kyocera Proteus: Shape shifting flexible smartphone Displayed at Japan’s CEATEC exhibition a few weeks ago, the Proteus can transform into three distinctive shapes: a flat panel, a bracelet, and a drapery. The first is a typical smartphone presentation and isn’t particularly remarkable save for its extreme thinness. The bracelet configuration transforms the phone into a wearable, and by using sensors on the back of the display, allows the device to monitor the wearer’s health and fitness, making it ideal for workouts. The third form, “Clip Style”, would allow the user to wrap the panel over a thin rail; Display Factor suggests it might be ideal for cycling by placing it on a bicycle’s handle allowing the user to glance at information without needing to move their hands. Unfortunately, Kyocera has yet to solve the problems about display technology, how a keyboard would be used with the curved form factors, and of course, a battery to power the screen.
