Privacy Mobile Phone

29 December 2006 by axxxr
Seongho Kim's New Vision of Mobile Devices concept proposes the implementation of a private viewing port on the underside of the phone.

When traveling on public transport like the underground or on the buses i've often had to conceal my phone from prying eyes as the text messages or video's i want to see on my phone are of a private or personal nature,this new concept phone addresses that problem.

As a conceptual commentary on over-exposure of personal information Seongho Kim's design addresses a important question of privacy of mobile information in public.A small viewing port on the underside of the handset lets you view your phone screen as an alternative to your main screen. source:Seongho Kim core77

Finally, a mobile for wankers! No one will see their porn videos on buses or trains. Whats next? Perhaps a mobile for smokers. Just put a small lighter at the bottom of the phone and there u have it!

uhh...

this is utterly retarded to me. why not just use 3m's patented technology? only the person directly viewing the phone can see what's on screen, every other angle, it'll be completely dark.

its a stupid thing to do, people might think of you as a crazy, selfish, out of this world super private concept. if i saw someone peeping into that tiny hole, i might push him. why not just improve the eyewear concept.

Well, I don't like to put things down or anything and I'm sure it would suit someone out there but to be honest, if you're going to resort to peering through the bottom end of your mobile would it look much worse if you just covered the screen with your trusty hands while looking at those private messages and images instead? Surely this would go down better with your battery life!
