‘Brick’ concept phone shows off some cool ideas for a transparent display
Designers Shaocheng Huang and Yuyin Huang have released a concept video for a new see-through device called Brick. The corner stone of the device is the transparent display that can support a variety of functions.

In the video you can see the Brick being used as a camera, a magnifying glass, a translate tool, and even a file being swiped from one Brick to another.

On the official website, Yanko Design, the Brick is pitched as a PC that goes by the mantra “a PC is no longer a PC anymore.” In reality it looks closer to a phone’s size and with some of the potential features of this device, it would be really cool to see this turned into a smartphone.

a few companies will make it and it will sell a bit.

then in 6 years apple will 'invent' it and it will revolutionize everything 'again'

I agree Apple will take 6 long years by then Samsung will rule the phone industry ,by the way Apple didn't invent anything just copy and that's a fact

It's a fact because you are an expert on everything?

Don't need to be an expert to know apple copy everyone that's old news but I guess to you that's new

Hey, apple already invented "the brick". Really, they just label it as an iPhone, but in reality, it has the same usability of a brick

If you want to see bricks, go watch pro basketball and watch overpaid athletes shooting "bricks".

So I take it they plan to pack all of the internals into the bottom panel bezel? That's a lot of tech to pack into a small space, not to mention the battery. It could be a while before technology shrinks enough to be that small. Would be cool tho!

They could make a bigger bezel.

Let's all take a Brick? I like the device but that is one silly slogan...
