Reality or Fiction? - Apple Transparent iPad/iPhone & Blackberry Empathy

ipad-iphone-empathy-bb

I am not sure if I should believe this or not, but it is worth the share. Three wireless devices has left me speechless of how dangerous they might be; an iPad that can read lips and put them into words on screen, an iPhone that is made of PURE and ONLY crystal, and a Blackberry phone that can sense your emotions and shares them with your friends. Are they for real? Some say yes and these ideas are implemented but yet need to be tested thoroughly, others say such ideas are simply impossible to implement until after 50 years atleast. You be the judge as I will be listing the three devices with their “in-brief options” and photo galleries.

The Transparent iPad

This SUPER iPad can seriously do miracles or might I call it “electronic miracles.” Here’s a list of the SUPER functionalities this device has:

  1. A transparent screen that has multi-touch capabilities connected to Google Earth servers to show names of building and streets wherever the iPad screen is focused on
  2. The ultimate OCR – Optical Character Recognition – that can read and highlight the words and list their meanings and definitions
  3. Not only a normal GPS, it can also guide you through pathways inside buildings
  4. Immediate translation of paragraphs from paper into screen
  5. Put the screen on a flower and it will identify it and list every detail you need to know about it
  6. Put it on a fruit and it will transform it into a graph on its screen showing what it contains
  7. Put it on any food and it will show you their nutritional facts
  8. It can predict forecast and the weather just by pointing the screen on the sky
  9. Point the screen on any outdoor area and it will show you how it was in years before in the exact same position
  10. Connect it to any cellphone or wireless embedded device and it will transfer all data between devices in a 3-dimensional manner
  11. Point the screen on an empty interior space and start virtually decorating this space on the iPad’s screen
  12. “For people with hearing disability,” the device can read people’s lips and show conversations as speech clouds on the screen with a pointer on who says what
  13. The later stages of development for this device is making it as only sunglasses


The Transparent iPhone

Although the screen components that are shown in the picture are more Windows Mobile like. But they say this is an Apple design. Major functionalities are:

  1. Screen changes according to surrounding atmosphere or located weather forecast (HTC feature)
  2. Blow on the phone and it will go into handwriting mode
  3. You can draw and write on the phone and it will transform them into recognized characters


Blackberry Empathy

This might be the most realistic design out of the pervious ones. This is just a normal Blackberry phone that comes with a special ring that can detect your emotional status and share it with friends.
