With the current burgeoning interest in everything 3D – Films, TV, Ar, Immersive VR etc. how about this application for sketching in 3D?
Put on your red-blue 3D glasses and go to the website provided at Neave.com and try it out for yourself.

Morph is a concept that explores how nanotechnology might be used in the future for next generation mobile devices – utilising features such as flexible materials, transparent electronics, self-cleaning surfaces and more.
High resolution image (JPEG file, zipped, 1.5 MB)The concept has been developed by the Nokia Research Center (NRC) in partnership with the Nanoscience Center at the University of Cambridge, and demonstrates how a future mobile device can be transformed into completely different shapes.
High resolution image (JPEG file, zipped, 2.2 MB)Nanotechnology enables the creation of materials that are flexible, can be stretched, made transparent and are very strong. A device made out of a material like this could be folded to fit into a pocket or opened out to present a larger working suruface area.
High resolution image (JPEG file, zipped, 2 MB)The material could be self-cleaning and the surface could even incoporate a covering of “nanograss” structures which would allow it to harvest solar enery and be self-powered.

The Gadget Show – a TV program on Channel 5 in the UK – recently collaborated with Curventa a design and development consultancy also in the UK, to create a new design concept for a compact digital camera.
Using emerging techology including a flexible OLED screen, wireless (induction) charging and DLP projector the resultant design represents a unique and practical solution.
(Check out all the details of the design from Curventa at: http://www.curventadesignworks.com/what/gadget-show/)
Currently only a concept. Will we ever see something like this available in the marketplace?
Possibly, when the cost of the individual components required reaches an acceptable (low) unit cost.
