MODAI CONCEPT PHONE WANTS TO BE YOUR FRIEND
Today’s smartphones are already flattering smart, though New York-based engineer Julius Tarng thinks that they can be smarter.
Imagining a mobile device that is more tellurian than machine, Tarng came up with a concept phone called the Modai that learns from your function and adapts itself to opposite environments.
The Modai can yield information based on your location.

For example, it would know when you’re at work and when you’re at play, and regulate the essence of your home screen thus to benefaction the many applicable information at that time.
Tarng also sees the Modai giving contextual prompts based on location, so if you’re at a train stop or out grabbing lunch, the phone could assistance out by displaying a train report or today’s lunch specials whilst you wait.
With more use, the Modai learns more about you and can even try to repair your bad habits. Late for a assembly again? The Modai knows this and will set your warning for progressing subsequent time, so you’re not delayed for the party.
The Modai has other cold party tricks up the sleeve. A muscle-wired Peelstand on the behind of the phone enables it to move and rapt you to new messages, calls, or alarms. When it needs more juice, the cover on the phone‘s charging port will automatically open, so you can bond to an outlet.
You can check out more of the Modai’s functions on Tarng’s Web site, as well as a little of his other concepts. Tarng, a former intern at Nokia and Kodak, is now a engineer at Smart Design.
