CONCEPT, Complex organic shape and use of SolidWorks
as an industrial design tool for a bike helmet speculative
project and demonstration for SolidWorks World, 2002.
This first smartphone concept was originally conceived as a display controlled and button free PDA, but in today's climate would be considered a button-free smart phone. first developed in summer 2002, but the provenance sources for the idea stemmed back to 1978 when I worked for John Fluke Manufacturing and designed a touch screen table top computer, 1720A Instrument Controller, and continued many year later when I was employed by Plantronics being asked to create a set of future products relating to headsets and telephony. This was in 1991-1993 and those concepts included various concepts of belt worn phones but did not yet have the touch screen embedded. you can view these concepts on page 14 of my consumer concept portfolio pdf, here.
This was a time just at the beginning of the concept of a cell phone and in fact they did not yet exist but were proposed via the idea of repeating cell towers to distribute voice communication. Bell South introduced the IBM Simon in 1993. I was comletely unaware of at the Simon at that time, but the technology for a true touch screen graphic interface was yet ten years off.
Then later as the first PDAs were created and later morphed into cell phones, the use of text and button to screen visual interfaces began to come out, which is where I began to visualize a truly powerful touch interface to integrate the cell phone into the world of browser control. The browser had as much to do with the idea as anything as it seemed to me that it would be a vastly more valuable product if one could browse graphically like on a computer. I had no idea how correct that assessment was.
This idea concept and animation was published on this website in February 2003, and presented in a public paper presented at the SolidWorks World Conference the following January.
This all happened four years and four months before the iPhone came on the market.
