Following the “Apple Path” with its Apple iWatch, Samsung is creating a concept gadget that claimed will prevent you from forgetting your mobile phone at home, misplace it or losing your mobile phone while you are at public places. The gadget is Samsung Proxima.
The concept was design by Californian industrial designer Johan Loekito as a collaboration project with Samsung America. The design was created in fall 2009. The tagline of the project is “you’ll never lose your phone again”. This concept gadget combines style and functionality, act as stylish wristwatch and mobile phone.
This concept gadget consists of two parts; the first part is a wristband functioning as docking for the second part, a detachable component act as the calling unit. Using proximity sensor, the wristband will vibrate or emanate tone when the calling unit is beyond a particular distance. If the calling unit is misplaced, you can locate it by simply pressing the “CALL” button on the wristband. It also has the ability to detect your contacts that use same device when they are in vicinity area, allowing you to set your privacy and details of your location.
When attached, the calling unit will operate as LED wristwatch. When detached, the calling unit will have three modes; first is the calling mode (used to make phone calls, off course), when closed it will be in compact mode (don’t know what is this for) and opening the unit to use it in messaging mode. The display for the calling unit will be using color e-paper and dual OLED.
