Concept/Specifications[

[]

Width: 2.5” Height: 4.5” Depth: .5”

• Very little onboard storage. Majority of information stored on cloud servers.

• Designed as a complete replacement for mobile devices, laptop computers, and personal home computers.

• Automatic display adjustment based on distance of projection surface and surface size.

Practical Uses

The Panton device is designed to act similar to the Octopus card used in Japan. This includes the digital transfer of tickets, keycards, payments, etc. In addition, you would have the ability to perform

banking, stocks, etc. using this device.

No More Plastic

The Panton device would advance the way we pay at the cash register. Now, we slide a plastic

card through a credit machine to pay for items. With the Panton device, there would be no need to even remove it from your pocket.

Instead, Panton communicates your information to the register. The clerk sees an identification image of you and you enter a

password to verify and approve the payment.

Display Walls

In busy areas such as airports or shopping malls, display walls would be put up allowing you to access and display the Panton device’s OS. You’re Panton device would send a signal

to a receiver giving you access your device, via password. Such displays would understand

hand gestures as a way of navigating the OS.

Rooms

The Panton device would also have the ability to save room settings, such as temperature and

lighting, and could be set to automatically update upon entering a room equipped with

this technology. In addition, you would be able to play music through your Panton device

over a room’s audio equipment or use the bluetooth earpiece as microphone.

Classrooms

Ideally, classrooms would be set up with docking stations and un-foldable projection screens. This would allow students to carry and use their Panton device anywhere on

campus. These docking stations would charge the Panton device as well as allow it to project

it’s OS.

Supplementary Items

• Bluetooth headset/headphones

• Additional “sixth-sense” style projection unit allowing you to display your OS on any surface. (sixth-sense device)

• Docking/charging station based on current technology. (ex. mGrid)
