UCD – Interactive Media
Interactive Scape – The table allows you to move graphic objects over the table screen with your hands and it can transfer data to and from cell phones via Bluetooth by placing your phone on the edges of the table which integrate Bluetooth compatible hardware.
I find that this is cool if you want to show a group of people some of the graphics or video from the phone and you can transfer it to your friends. You don’t have to look at the files from a small screen.

Canova Dual Screen Laptop – It is a two screens laptop. A multi sensitive touch screen that can handle your daily computing tasks and you can read articles on the laptop like reading newspaper.
An interesting design that is different from when reading from a normal laptop. It is something refreshing. This design is also like having two ipad put together.
Vaio Zoom – features a holographic glass screen that goes transparent and a keyboard that turns opaque when turned off.
It does not have any useful interaction but if it is sold in Singapore, I would want to have it as the design makes me feel that using laptop is fun.
Compenion concept laptop – A sliding screen laptop
I like this concept as the screen and the keyboard is all flat down on the table. It is useful if you are using laptop to teach people or if you are doing group works.

Stylist Mp3 Player with an accessory earpiece. There is a little loop earring that goes into the ear as headphones.
I believe that more females would like to use it as part of their fashion.

XO laptop – it is used in the most remote, poor and rural communities with the lowest power and cost in the industry. It is a child-centric laptop that is in low-cost, low-power computing.
I believe that everyone will have a feel of using laptop in the future.
Kindle DX – wireless reading device that allows customers to download books, blogs, magazines and newspapers to a crisp, high-resolution electronic paper display that looks and reads like real paper. Students can review class lessons, parents can see what children have studied in class, and businesses can review presentations and brainstorming sessions on their Kindle. It is not only convenient, it is also a paperless, environmentally friendly alternative to taking conventional notes.
I really like this concept that makes something boring interesting. It is also efficient as it does not involve one person usage but it affects people around them.

I realised that future interactive media involves lots of touch screen and also sensitivity in the media. It also design it to become more fashionable.
