Animal: Chameleon Characteristics:

- Parrot-like feet. - Their separately mobile and stereoscopic eyes (High-range vision).

- Very long, highly modified, and rapidly extrudable tongues (Long distance reach).- The ability of some to change color (Blending in their environment and social signaling).

- Vary greatly in size and body structure.- Cold-blooded.

Behavior:

- Generally solitary animals that are considered shy by nature. - Chameleons often lean around branches to try to hide from disturbances.- He first method of communication is color change.- A less known form of communication common to many but now all chameleons. - is the use of low frequency sound to communicate. - This is known to be used in courtship, defense and territorial displays.- To break up their image to predators, chameleons often try to mimic a branch in the wind. To do so, they often walk very slowly while the rock back and forth as they ad-vance very slowly.

Characteristics:

- High-range vision camera.- Long distance communication (WiFi, 3G…).

- The ability of some to change color (Blending in their environment).- Social signaling.

- Vary greatly in size and body structure.

- Make the blending with the environment much more deep (consider other materials).

- Stereographic images (improve the camera to achieve a higher resolution and 3D capabilities AND focus on 2 different things simultaneously).

- Increase the size availability regarding its pur-pose (instead of just cellphone and tablet sizes)

- Improve the social signaling by the change of color/shape

“Chameleons tend to show darker colors when angered, or attempting to scare or intimidate others, while males show lighter, multi-colored patterns when courting females.”

Areas of Improvement

Object: Smartphone

Selected Chracteristics - Make the blending with the environment much more deep.- Stereographic images.- Improve the social signaling by the change of color/shape.

When two or more smartphones that share the same interests come closer, they both shift to a similar color.

The most noticeable emotional effect of smartphones nowadays on their users is

the effect of isolation in groups of people.

The intention of this product is to create a more sociable smartphone that improves

the comunication between it’s users.

A more real social network
