Integral cord device by Raphael Lang, Yu-Lin Hou and Stephen Chan win ‘FUJITSU design award 2011’ life-design category.
This device can be easily positioned in any configuration, with a computer screen displayed inside the space enclosed by the cord. In addition to allowing for a diverse range of applications, this design creates new opportunities for communication by allowing multiple people to operate the display screen at the same time.
An interface can be created by a multicolor laser LED array located on the inner side of the computer, and camera array can detect the position of the user’s fingers.
