Symbian of the Future

Symbian of the Future

  • Holographic display


    However many millions of colours and degrees of resolution the screen of your mobile device can display, there's no substitute for viewing in three dimensions.

    Let's introduce holographic displays to mobile devices.

  • Phone locator


    Where is my phone? Wouldn't life be so much simpler if you could click your fingers and your phone, wherever it was located would look for you? With some minor advancements in teleportation and location detection this feature will be appearing on devices of the future.

  • GPS and Maps

    "I want to walk to Leicester Square!"

    "Joe, as your mobile friend, I recommend that you take the bus, the traffic is good on all roads involved and a bus is due in 2 minutes. Plus, with your current poor health, I think you'll find the 2.3 mile walk extremely taxing. The route involves a lot of steps and a steep incline. However, if you do want to walk, walk 100 yards then turn left at the supermarket."

  • Identity device


    Your phone is an extension of your being. It securely contains all of your personal information and discloses specific information to those who legitimately request it (validated by a data protection organisation).

    You can visit any doctor, any bank, any airport with just your phone as your identity device. All the relevant information is stored and available to share.

  • Your ideas

    You can shape the future of mobile. Post your ideas for mobile features on ideas.symbian.org.
