“It is a prototype to view and manage a photo album in an easy and convenient way through the gestures that are carry out on the display. Instead of using traditional commands on the computer like ‘crop’, ‘rotate’ or ‘next the digital paper reacts to traditional (physical) gestures like; flipping and bending for example. This makes browsing and editing such an album more pleasurable and natural.”
It explores the possibilities of future flexible electronic interfaces that could emerge within digital products and do so by minimizing the graphical interface and embodying gestural interfaces. This concept fully underlines the simplicity and improvement in convenience in future interactivities by retaining the actions that we take to browse through the photos traditionally but with the addition of the numerous ways we can do with the photos.
