The Empathy concept phone is a brainchild of a project RIM sponsored at the Art Center College of Design. The design of the phone is pretty slick if RIM could pull something like that off but I would never want to drop it… On the other hand the concept behind the phone is really odd. The idea is that it is supposed to “detect emotional data” through some magic ring and show both your emotions and your contacts and social graph.

I
t is of course touch based and all the user’s connections are shown graphically so you can see who is connected to whom. Each contact has an avatar that is encompassed by two colored rings. The inner colored ring shows the contact’s previous emotional state, and the outer ring represents the contact’s current emotional state. It is important to show the shift in emotions in order to see how an event has affected that contact.


A
nother important feature that we felt was important was the “Emotional Health Chart”. This chart would monitor the user’s emotional health through an indefinite period of time. One would be able to see how a certain event, or phone call/ message has affected the user. Obviously, if the chart shows someone is always upset, there would be a problem… If permitted, a user would be able to view other user’s charts as well.LA

YOU ARE RIGHT !!!

Nice concept

Good work.They can shoot themselves in the leg with this design.I would be very grateful.

the os had a problem in the security system, not like the new security on new blackberry phones, the encryption of the bsn, imei and pin this
one is much easier. and this will make things easier for users.

two major software updates are due for this month with exciting bugs fixes.

This phone looks creepy. Looks like a black magic stone in Harry Potter.
