Unveiled at the Queen's University Human Media Lab, ReFlex promises to be the next thing after smart watches virtual reality and smart glasses. It uses a flexible screen to use certain features like turning the pages of a book. Although it is currently in the prototype stages experts believe it will be ready for commercial release. The prototype had a 720 x 1280 FOLED screen with multi touch capabilities and bend sensors to detect the the degree of bending inflicted on the screen.
The interface is very realistic, depending on how far you bend the screen the pages in a book will turn faster or the sling shot will be stretched even further. With hap tic feedback we can feel the slingshot tightening or the pages turning in an eBook. It also enables us to navigate our way through a document without looking at the screen. The phone which was loaded with android 4.4 appeared very impressive for a device with the thickness of a brochure. The phone will probably be the lightest phone with its appearance similar to that of a simple plastic screen .The phone be introduced today in a convention in Netherlands dealing with interactions between computers and humans.
