Received an email containing pictures of a pen-style computer? It’s actually real.
Designed by NEC Design, Tokyo, known as “P-ISM” and described by the designers as a “Pen-style Personal Networking Gadget Package”, it cost $30,000 to build a prototype.
The concept is outlined as follows on the NEC Design Web site:
“We have visualized the connection between the latest technology and the human, in a form of a pen. P-ISM is a gadget package including five functions: a pen-style cellular phone with a handwriting data input function, virtual keyboard, a very small projector, camera scanner, and personal ID key with cashless pass function. P-ISMs are connected with one another through short-range wireless technology. The whole set is also connected to the Internet through the cellular phone function. This personal gadget in a minimalistic pen style enables the ultimate ubiquitous computing.”
My Comment: I hope it supports games!
