Paper mobile

 

A pocket-sized computer as thin and flexible as a sheet of paper is set to be unveiled next week. While it's just a prototype, the researchers say the bendy souped-up smartphone could revolutionize the way we interact with computers.
This Paper Phone isn’t available for purchase quite yet, and it will be five to 10 years before you can buy one, said Audrey Girouard, a postdoctoral student at the Human Media Lab at Queen’s University.

Called PaperPhone, the new device is a flexible version of e-ink, the digital ink screen found in e-readers such as the Amazon and others.
When the Kindle was first introduced, it was touted as a paperlike computer. One of its main benefits over computer displays was the fact that it didn’t have the glare found when reading on a computer screen. But it isn’t really the same as reading a paper-based book or newspaper. 
The researchers will unveil their prototype Paper Phone on May 10 at the Association for Computing Machinery's Computer Human Interaction conference in Vancouver.
