Mozilla-designed phone rocks dual pico projectors and embedded bluetooth dongle.

The above concept phone by Mozilla Labs goes by the name of “Seabird”. Looks alone might win a few design contests, but phones have reached a point where they’re all pretty much the same basic style. Services and software are increasingly becoming the staple points of any given platform. With that said, how does the Seabird differentiate itself?

The most intriguing part of this little gem is the embedded bluetooth dongle. It’s detachable and can be held like a remote, enabling the user to interact with the device without having to even touch it. In much the same way, you can use that dongle as a bluetooth mouse. And finally, the dongle can be used as your typical bluetooth earpiece. But that’s not all…

Another feature worth mentioning, however, is the dual array of of pico projectors that will allow the device to beam an image to a larger surface for easier viewing while also projecting a keyboard/controls on a surface close to the user for another form of enhanced interaction. It’s definitely a novel attempt at capturing our imagination. Though in real life, I’m doubtful that it would that useful purely on mobile devices. How often are you going to want to stop what you’re doing to sit down and type something out on a projected keyboard?

Such things need to be pondered over. So as your ponder your ponderings, hop inside to see a video showing it all off…
