Sony just barely updated the PSP but designer Tai Chiem is already thinking about the next iteration. His design calls for a flexible OLED display that can be conveniently rolled. An electric charge powering the display stiffens it while providing near bezeless prime real estate for gaming. Stereo speakers on either side double as a jog wheel and camera control. He also envisages Sony finally implementing two joysticks. Pipe dream or not, it’s sexy and lives up to its name; it don’t get any more portable than this.
Designer: Tai Chiem
Looks good, but it also looks like an ergonomical nightmare. How could you ever hold it while playing a game?
Maybe the design is that it can float in the air…..
Why isn’t the design a PS3 controller with a screen that slides out from the back that you can angle and insert the PSP disc? Maybe a video camera/camera on the back too.

I want to know real size ~~
I am certainly not an avid gamer, but if this is a handheld device, it is not ergonomic in any way. As a gaming console, why do this when you have a TV lying around in your house that you can latch on to (as it is now, at a cheaper price moreover)? If this was designed as a TV/gaming console to replace the TV, then there is no real need for portability. Either way, I commend the design for its novelty, but I am sorry as it is just that.
A BIG tUH? That is way off the issue! replacing TV is way over, and now is just a matter of portability and design. Why won't I buy a rolling LCD anyway? I won't let my butt be sick of sitting on a couch while staring at a boring box. I'd rather have some adventure with a PSP and with its portability, I can go wherever I am comfortable enough….
For the design though… where did the buttons go? If it would be on touch screen, it's gonna be hard to control.

I like the advanced e-Ink screen idea. But why doesn't it roll up inside the device instead?
I think a better idea is to take the normal PSP with a similar screen, so the two halves on either side pull apart to reveal the screen.
well if you rolled it up inside you would have to have a hollow external wall for switches and such. There are other problems, and the e ink people are just happy as hell to help you figure it all out. For a very nice rendidtion of a simlar product check out the "map/info tablet" in the movie red mars…nicely done and quite "doable" in a few years.
You mean like this, right?

I can kind of see that this would make more sense, in many ways.
Darn!

Because if that would happen, we'll be going back to the thick size issue again. And your concept is like a make-up kit, it just don't match the PSP image.

Where is the key pad?
HOW TO keep the screen straight?
why not project the images into the air directly? The size and the shape of the air screen can be whatever you want.
Exactly, why not have the usual controller with a holographic projector at the end?
holograms are too expensive! the department have to consider customers as well.
Besides, if it would be holographic, there are lot of things that affects the image – light, surroundings, etc…

An interesting concept, however in practice the screen would be almost impossible to keep rigid. The prototype Phillips 'roll-up' screens almost always have some kind of framework to keep the screen flat whilst extended.
Also, where would the UMD's go? Everything would have to be on a Memory Stick.

It would be cool as a personal entertainment device. So I could easily carry it in my bag and while on the train (or maybe when flying) watch movies or play games.
Now that would be the shit. Portable video anythings should be like this, before moving on to the holographic display. I would very much like for this to be produced 🙂
Man…this takes all the good design elements of the PSP and stuffs it down a useless tube. It's an implementation of a concept where it's not needed.

No D-Pad. Useless.

Where do you put the game in? the design is pretty sweet though.

well it would be way better if you make some way to grasp the console for a better gaming experience

That’s the one Sony oel one of the best
2 the world.
this is a nice game and would not mind having it but where would you put the umd
Yeah! Nice Articles
This is a good idea but it looks really uncomfortable to play on. Since the bar is so thin I think hands would cramp up after a couple minutes of intense play.
