Design Concept for the future of a personal agent
“Plastics are dead. Now we have nanotechnology! Materials themselves does not exist anymore.
A single nano molecule can simulate every kind of material. Nano molecules can change their shape, transforming themselves as we wish. They can become what I want. Everything is little, portable, wireless, linked to everything else, online contemporaneous.
This is dematerialisation era. I’m ubiquitous, I can be everywhere at the same time.”
Stony is a new kind of personal assistant, it’s a new kind of technological device. It can change its shape in a while, can be modeled as clay and change its color and material.
It’s a phone, it brings a lot of music, a camera, a laptop, a GPS and more.
It replaces every kind of “physical” money with virtual money because Stony can be used as credit card.
Stony can substitute all the keys that people usually uses during the day life.
He is a wireless remote that uses internet web connection to communicate with your equipment at home, like owen, fridge, bathroom and so on. How to switch on: the first shape is a natural yelding stone. With a finger printing stony will start to breath and to switch on.
