Ringo: A holographic interface that can help with everyday life problems

A conceptual interface that can surpass the limitations of conventional mobile phones, ‘Ringo’ is a simple holographic shadow with sophisticated possibilities.

Currently only in its earliest stages, Ringo is a prime of example of the kind of breakthroughs and interfacial overhauls that can be expected in the near future. Ringo makes use of digital shadowing to create a fluid and flexible interface, a radius of multi-coloured arcs are projected from the user with which they can interact with a wide range of motion. It’s as simple to use as a wave of the hand.

Example uses shown by the creators include the display of relevant basic information such as date and time, recreational games and GPS. There is no reason, however, that the uses of Ringo would be restricted to the examples that we have grown accustomed to see in today’s smart phone society. Its constant connection to the internet as well as its flexible interface combine to make the possibilities endless.

Ringo has the potential to completely innovate the mobile phone industry, the same industry that we have become reliant on in our everyday lives and have accepted its limitations and downfalls. One of the many examples is that many amputees are alienated from the connectivity provided by smart phones, Ringo, however overcomes such problems.
