No, not the little claymation chap who was Tony Hart’s imaginary friend. Morph is “concept device” created by by Nokia Research Center (NRC) in collaboration with the Cambridge Nanoscience Centre (UK) to explore the kinds of devices and benefits that nanoscale technologies have the potential to create. Have a look at this video (I will post it here when our video button is restored…). It shows how Morph can be a watch, a phone, a calculator and a beer mat. It can sense chemicals in the air; it re-charges itself from the power of the sun; it’s self-cleaning and it can turn into jewelery. The video animation depicts user benefits from a personal perspective: a young woman sits outside a cafe on a sunny day sometime in a future set to lame chill-out music. Everything is perfect. Can’t wait.

ReportThis is witchcraft. I think we can safely post this under Eisley’s post as technology that really excites. It can tell us not to eat that apple and that there are chemicals in the air? We better learn to develop thicker skin then because I think we are all in for a shock! Scary. How far away is this tech from launching? Or can we already see examples of it?

ReportI think it’s some way off, thankfully.
