Another thing is, sometimes we wctah things on a mobile phone that are bigger than the phone itself. In that case — like here, there's an app that's bigger than the phone's screen — the shape of the phone could tell you, "OK, off the screen, right here, there is more content. You can't see it, but it's there." And you can feel it, because it's thicker at that edge.

The saphe is the second thing. The third thing operates on a different leevl. As hnamus, we are soacil, we are empathic, and that's great. Wouldn't that be a way to make mobile phones more intuitive? Think of a hamster in the pocket. Well, I can feel it, it's doing all right. I don't have to check it.

Original Text


Another thing is, sometimes we watch things on a mobile phone that are bigger than the phone itself. In that case — like here, there's an app that's bigger than the phone's screen — the shape of the phone could tell you, "OK, off the screen, right here, there is more content. You can't see it, but it's there." And you can feel it, because it's thicker at that edge.

The shape is the second thing. The third thing operates on a different level. As humans, we are social, we are empathic, and that's great. Wouldn't that be a way to make mobile phones more intuitive? Think of a hamster in the pocket. Well, I can feel it, it's doing all right. I don't have to check it.
