The Future of Smartphone Experiences: Introducing the Pinch Case
In an exciting breakthrough, a new smartphone case has been designed exclusively for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. Dubbed the "Pinch Case," this innovative device is currently in its prototype phase, but it's already generating significant buzz among tech enthusiasts. What makes the Pinch Case so unique? For starters, it's entirely 3D printed, giving it a futuristic look that sets it apart from traditional smartphone cases.
The key feature of the Pinch Case is its ability to transition users from traditional 2D experiences to virtual reality (VR) and 3D environments. This is achieved through a simple swivel motion, which allows users to switch seamlessly between different modes. The prototype unit being showcased has some limitations, such as exposed interior components, but the team behind the Pinch Case is working hard to address these issues with more flexible and comfortable materials.
One of the most impressive demonstrations of the Pinch Case's capabilities is its ability to expand the field of view and provide tactile feedback through two cursors. As the user pinches the orientation screen, they're treated to an augmented reality (AR) demo featuring a shark swimming through their surroundings. The AR demo utilizes the rear-facing camera and the Aate Cod processor to create a truly immersive experience.
When users are in VR mode, they can access their applications and navigate through them using familiar multi-touch gestures. However, with the Pinch Case, these gestures have been adapted to incorporate the unique two-pincher interface. This allows for new possibilities in interaction and control. The prototype unit is currently running a simplified social media app, but more comprehensive apps are on the horizon.
The team behind the Pinch Case is excited about its potential to revolutionize smartphone experiences. By providing an unlimited canvas for developers to work with, the platform has the potential to unlock entirely new applications and use cases. For now, it's still in the demo phase, but the possibilities being showcased are truly impressive.
One of the most striking aspects of the Pinch Case is its versatility. It's designed to be adaptable to various industries and applications. Imagine using the Pinch Case for visualization purposes, such as viewing 3D models or augmented reality experiences during construction or real estate projects. The case could also be used in retail settings to create immersive shopping experiences.
The team behind the Pinch Case is already working with retailers to bring virtual storefronts to the platform. This will enable users to browse and purchase products in a fully immersive environment, completely changing the way we shop online. These are just a few examples of the many possibilities that the Pinch Case has to offer.
As the prototype unit continues to evolve, it's clear that the Pinch Case is more than just a smartphone case – it's a gateway to new experiences and capabilities. With its innovative design, versatile applications, and cutting-edge technology, the Pinch Case has the potential to redefine what we expect from our smartphones.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enso pinch is actually a uh a smartphone case it's it's uh exclusively uh designed for the iPhone 6 and 6 plus uh currently it's in its prototype phase so this is all 3D printed everything that you see here um and what we've been working with with is essentially transitioning the user from the traditional 2D experience uh to the VR and to the 3D experience when necessary and when you look at kind of transitioning from uh from 2D to VR it's really kind of a simple swivel that gets you kind of to that uh particular uh kind of position currently this is this is a test unit which doesn't have all the kind of covered Interiors um so what we're working on right now is getting uh more kind of flexible uh and um uh comfortable materials on the face obviously that aren't as rigid as pla plastic that's used in 3D printers right so what what what what typically happens is is now when when we're in the VR experience um we can kind of expand the uh the field of view kind of tacti uh feedback here with two cursors as they move do you guys see that yeah okay so what I can do is I can just kind pinch uh the kind of orientation screen and what you'll see is a a simple kind of AR demo of a shark kind of swimming through sorry it's a killer whale swimming through the room and again we're just kind of utilizing the rear facing camera um and a lot of the functionality from the aate Cod processor uh so at the home screen I can see all my applications kind of opened up right in front of me so as I kind of tilt my head I have uh everything kind of displayed in almost like a ripple fashion so um I have a full sizee keyboard available at the bottom and I also have my controls you could essentially just kind of Click through the interface and this is just a sample kind of social media Facebook kind of um uh interface that I can kind of interact with so I have obviously my profile screen I have uh my feed I have uh messages uh and again just utilizing kind of basic gestures I can kind of scroll through different things and again if I wanted to go home what you'll be able to see is kind of this this whole concept of spatial Computing uh the ability to kind of utilize depth and kind of go into applications and go out of so this is really kind of what we find exciting about the platform is kind of utilizing an unlimited canvas to kind of work with the applications that you want um and again I can into a simple drawing application so this is just really kind of a teaser there aren't any real applications that we've built uh yet but again these are all kind of demonstrations that kind of give you guys the um idea of what's uh possible uh let's see going into another interface so I can just kind of take a look at a shoe for example and uh you know if I want I can uh you know rotate the shoe I can uh pinch and zoom if I want so all the standard kind of um multi-touch gestures that you're accustomed to you can utilize with this kind of um uh two pincher interface two apps that are going to be shipping obviously are going to be the uh the browser and the video viewer uh we're also going to be working with retailers to bring uh the pinch Shops and and the virtual storefronts uh to the platform as well so those are really kind of the three key applications everything else is kind of a demonstration at this point um so again this is uh just a simple of a of a condo this is great for an application like you know an Airbnb or or some sort of visualization for when new condo developments or or whatever so I can kind of uh customize this if I want kind of change it the core uh and uh again just kind of super uh straightforward um what else can we show you guys there's um there's also kind of a photo viewer that we can go through so something that you know I can you know scroll I can move up and down I can select an image goso pinch is actually a uh a smartphone case it's it's uh exclusively uh designed for the
