智能手机新玩法：挤一挤，捏一捏

    普珀雷夫称，采用触觉学技术的电子产品即将改变我们与几乎任何电子产品的人机互动方式。他目前正与迪士尼合作，开发一些触觉学技术的应用产品。“我们在触控方面还做得不够，”他说。“针对有感觉能力的电子产品，我们可以重新设计用户界面。所有的设计师都讨厌按钮。让其他控制模式来取代按钮会是最好的选择。”到目前为止，这位设计师不仅想出能对弯曲做出反应的触摸屏幕这个构想，而且还想出那些可完全操纵、“有感觉能力”、而且还能复原的图形界面。

    他说，目前仍然存在的一个大问题是，如何设计有效的手势及界面，利用这款Docomo手机所展示出来的、已经得到增强的触控灵敏性。苹果（Apple）发布iPhone手机那漂亮的人机交互界面之前，以触摸为基础的技术就已存在好些年了。

    他表示，可弯曲的媒体卡可以采用城市地图或迷你影集的外形，从而使翻阅这些媒体卡就像翻阅书页那般容易，甚至更为容易。“然而，问题的关键是，所有人目前都把关注点放在制造相关的原材料上，比如，可弯曲的电子产品或显示屏。现在很少有人在研究这些电子产品到底有哪些用途？这些电子产品独特的杀手级应用程序是什么？普珀雷夫称，基本上，人人都认为，在电子产品出现之后，相关的应用程序将自然会随之出现。他想了一会儿，然后补充说：“但我们不想等待。”

    Devices using haptics, or the science of touch, are about to transform the way we interact with just about anything electronic says Poupyrev who is working with Disney now on several haptic applications. "We don't do enough with touch," he argues. "With feel-able devices we can redesign the interface. All designers hate buttons. To have something replace them would be the ideal." So far the designer has come up with not only a concept for touch screens that respond to bending but also those that are fully rigged, 'feel-able' graphic interfaces that push back.

    The big question that remains he says is how to design effective gestures and interfaces that could take advantage of the enhanced sensitivity shown by the Docomo phone. Touch-based technology as around for years before Apple (AAPL) release the iPhone's slick interface.

    He suggests bendable media cards that could take the form of city maps or mini photo albums, making flicking through them as easy as flipping through the pages of a book, maybe easier. "The point is, however is that everyone is focused on making the materials, for example, on flexible electronics or displays. Very few people are looking into how these devices can be used and what are the killer, unique apps for these devices. Basically, everyone assumes that when devices appear the applications will follow,' says Poupyrev. He thinks for a moment, then adds, "But we do not want to wait."
