MOST ALERTS ARE DIGITAL, NOT PHYSICAL
This project looks at ways of making smartphone alerts and notifications richer, more personal and less binary. We researched real life interruptions from the beginning, to see if we could create concepts for a new protocol taking advantage of the physical and digital.
SkinDisplay, makes the interaction with the phone more discrete and subtle, by allowing the receiver to read information without having to look at the phone, magically, just by touching the device.
A raised message will appear on the back of the phone, containing the caller’s identity, importance and reason for the call. This short message will be transferred through pressure: the receiver will just need to press the phone between their fingers and the message will be imprinted on their hand.
The receiver will then be able to read the message on their skin and also erase it, easily, by rubbing their fingers together.

This particular design is what i think really an innovative one, it sort of reshape the digital world notification back into an anolog form, its a unusual approach indeed and I wander how acceptable is this to the public, I mean to imprint messages onto skin sounds but weird and may cause some side effects as people will afraid(which i dont worry too much because Im pretty sure it wont, but who knew?) Regardless the acceptability to the public, the idea itself is great, everything digital we see the information on a screen today, yet it is really refreshing to see a design that is made to change the way of how digital gadgets usually works.
