MOZILLA SEABIRD – THE CELL PHONE OF THE FUTURE

When Mozilla Labs launched it’s Concept Series, the aim was to create an environment of interaction within the community (designers, developers, students, teachers etc.) to provoke thought, share ideas, facilitate discussion, collectively innovate and inspire the future vision of the Mozilla project, Firefox, and the Web as a whole.

In early 2009, Billy May produced a throw-away concept for an ‘Open Web Concept Phone.
Working directly off of the community feedback, Billy has since finished the exploration with his concept “Seabird”.

The dream phone introduces a few possibilities into how user interaction might evolve with the advancing motion capture and projector driven innovation in the market.

Apart from an 8 megapixel camera, the phone features two projectors and Bluetooth/IR Dongle that enables laptop quality screen projection on any flat surface via the Dock feature, wireless charging, a Bluetooth headset as well as an infrared touchscreen.

At this stage the phone is a dream and Mozilla claims that there are no plans to develop it.
I don’t think they will be able to or can afford to resist the temptation though.
The technology is already out there, and if Mozilla does not do, somebody else will.
Sooner rather than later.

Check out the video below.
This dream phone is nothing short of incredible.
