In the 21st century, humans can not live without technology.
However most gadgets are cold and lack vitality. The missing
element is something called “evolutionary possibility”, a way to
add a more abstract humanistic approach to how electronic
gadgets are used and grow. Currently people already enjoy the
many functions a singular device has but if that device could
some how evolve in a natural, esoteric way, the gratification from
using those functions would increase.
The EME designed by Shao Wei Huang takes that approach in
designing a mobile device queued for video, music, and gaming. A
dual screen setup is used in tandem to fit whatever function is
currently being used. One screen is embedded on the outer shell
The other slides out from underneath. Used singularly, the shell
displays functions for calling and basic manipulation of data such
as contacts, photos, etc. Sliding out the second screen lets you
access secondary data. Turning the whole unit sideways turns it
into a portable gaming device able to mimic any control scheme
via touchscreen.
The “evolutional” aspect comes from th EME’s ability to expand its
feature set if the user shares his/her experiences with other
EMEs. That could be in the form of videos, music, or games. By
doing so, bigger speakers would unlock and slide out, the screen
may even become higher-res. The idea is to encourage the
device’s evolution by exposing it to as many experiences as
possible.
