PaperFold Smartphone Can Be Unfolded Into a Laptop, Map or Tablet
Scientists have developed they call the world's first foldable smartphone that changes to a tablet and a notebook using a set of screens and hinges.


The shape-changing smartphone allows users to fold open up to three flexible electrophoretic displays to provide extra screen real estate when needed.

Displays are detachable such that users can fold the device into various shapes that can range from an ultraportable notebook shape to a foldout map.

"In PaperFold, each display tile can act independently or as part of a single system," said Dr. Vertegaal, a professor in the School of Computing and Director of the Human Media Lab at Queen's University, Canada.

"It allows multiple device form factors, providing support for mobile tasks that require large screen real estate or keyboards on demand, while retaining an ultra-compact, ultra-thin and lightweight form factor," said Vertegaal.

PaperFold automatically recognises its shape and changes its graphics to provide different functionality upon shape changes.


For example, folding the device into an ultraportable notebook form factor opens up a keyboard on the bottom screen. Users could use this form factor to type a search.

By flattening PaperFold's three displays, the user changes views to a Google Map that spans all screens.

Shaping PaperFold into a convex shape shows the map in Google Earth view.

Folding PaperFold into the shape of a 3D building on the map will pick up a Google SketchUp model of the building and turn the device into an architectural model that can be 3D printed.

Researchers said the inspiration for PaperFold came from its namesake: paper.

Typically, mobile devices require scrolling or zooming in order to see different parts of a document whereas paper can be folded, detached or combined allowing it to be accessed in multiple parallel forms.

"The development of electronic paper computers that can adopt similar qualities to paper has been an enduring research goal for our team," said Vertegaal.

"Books use folding as both a navigational and space saving technique, and paper maps have malleable display sizes.

"The PaperFold smartphone adopts folding techniques that makes paper so versatile, and employs them to change views or functionality of a smartphone, as well as alter its screen real estate in a flexible manner. PaperFold demonstrates how form could equal function in malleable mobile devices," Vertegaal said.






The PaperFold was unveiled at the ACM CHI 2014 conference in Toronto.

There are some things that are hard to put in words, like a painting that you want to find out the artist of. For searches like that, try Google Goggles ;just open the Goggles app on your phone, snap a photo of that painting, and find search results all about it.

   
Google Goggles is a downloadable image recognition application created by Google which can currently be found on the Mobile Apps page of Google Mobile. It is used for searches based on pictures taken by handheld devices. For example, taking a picture of a famous landmark would search for information about it, or taking a picture of a product's barcode will search for information on the product
Best search queries

Google Goggles works better with certain types of queries. 
It can recognize up to three items at a time. For best results,
 try taking pictures of the following:

Books & DVDs
Landmarks
Barcodes & QR codes
Logos
Contact info
Artwork
Businesses
Products
Text
Currently, it's not so good when taking pictures of the following:

Animals
Plants
Cars
Furniture
Apparel
Optimizing your photos for Goggles

For the best results when taking pictures, hold your phone in "left landscape" mode, as shown below, and press the on-screen shutter button with your right thumb.

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, copy, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are
augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
   By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be overlaid on the real world.
