Sorry to disappoint you folks but this is not the next Research In Motion development. This innovation is the result of a RIM-sponsored design competition at the art Centre College of Design. With the goal of designing a concept device which integrates human emotions with social networking, designers Kiki Tang and Daniel Yoong created the Blackberry Empathy.
The Empathy is an angular phone that looks absolutely stunning! The phone is used in conjunction with a biometrics ring that is worn by the user to collect “emotional data”. According to cnet, this device just a tad bonkers, as “its front is home to an OLED touch screen that’s transparent when not in use, and opaque at other times. It wouldn’t be a proper BlackBerry without a physical keyboard, but the Empathy’s is located on its back.”
Nevertheless, the Blackberry Empathy serves as reminder of the ever-present power of creativity. Too often our minds are constrained by fear of getting it wrong or making a mistake thus discouraging innovation and creativity. Don’t be afraid to dare to dream…

As a student of the art of this marketing video certainly caught my eye. Most advertising or promotional videos get lost in the clutter as there is so much content consumers are flooded with.
In today’s society, attention is a rare commodity and it takes more than just having a mere presence on television to get one’s message across. Businesses need to connect with consumers. Marketing & advertising are not all about reaching the end consumer, but also connecting with them, eliciting an emotional response which is able to stimulate trial of new products and the repurchasing of old ones.
This video managed to make me stop and not only watch but listen for a change.
Charlex is a creative design studio, who take a different approach to design and marketing. They have thrown fancy mission statements out the window and is simply embracing versatility. “We can take any idea — or even just a seed of an idea — and bring it to life with visual panache. Conceptualizing a campaign from start to finish? We can do that. Visual effects and animation assists? We can do that, too”, says Charlex from NYC. At charlex.com, the company has the following to say:
“Our motto is design and build. It’s that simple”
I thought the Apple iPad had cool touch technology…but Microsoft is looking to take the idea of touch technology to a whole new level!
At CES, Microsoft and Samsung unveiled the next generation of the Microsoft Surface experience. According to the Microsoft blogger Eric Havir, the new Microsoft Surface “makes use of PixelSense technology, which gives LCD panels the power to see without the use of cameras. This brings to life the unique Surface experience making it possible for people to share, collaborate and explore together on this large, thin display that recognizes fingers, hands and other objects placed on the screen.”
Have a look at the promo video:
So how can businesses capitalize on this new innovation? According to Microsoft, the possibilities are endless, here are just a few ways:
With the ability to interact with a surface so large and responsive, business owners now have the opportunity to connect with consumers on a more intimate level. I think that once this technology is available commercially at a reasonable price, such interactivity will become the norm in society.
Wether you agree with them or not, there is no doubt that this is a game changer. Just have a look at it in action…
