I’m not sure how I feel about bending a device as a way to navigate it, but I do think that it is one step closer to fold-able nano technology devices like the Nokia Morph. I’m sure that it’s no coincidence that they have both been conceived by the same company..
“How does it work? According to CNET, a Nokia demonstrator said the company was experimenting with bundles of carbon nanotubes whose electrical properties change when they’re stretched. Those nanotubes are embedded in a flexible substance that allows the device to control the screen when twisted and bent. An additional advantage: The device is much tougher — and is water resistant, too.”
