The Intouch handset was designed by Christina Droira and a couple of colleagues from the University of Cincinnati, as a project sponsored by Samsung. This concept uses a sub-vocal speech technology that was developed by NASA for astronaut communication in space. Basically, it uses a couple of sensors that facilitate communication from the human’s throat.
You might have guessed by now that the Intouch concept is more than a phone as it features 3 parts: the handset, a directional sound Bluetooth ear cuff and a the neck piece. This accessory reads the speech neuron signals, while the ear cuff handles the hearing process.
Passing on to less scientific talk, the Intouch phone features a pretty big LCD display, a fingerprint security scanner, integrated chip, a smaller screen on top and touch surface.

Still recovering from the shock of almost seeing a real PSP Phone here, we stumble upon yet another piece of info announcing a gaming cellphone. This time we’re dealing with a patent showing a Samsung device, surprisingly enough a clamshell that has nothing to do with the PSP Phone or any N-Gage-based handset.
Forget the PSP Phone and any attempt at turning Nokia phones into real gaming devices, as Samsung’s got a new idea and a cool patent. This clamshell features an inner display that’s not fixed, being able to swing and reveal a set of gaming controls. That leaves enough room for an extra speaker and allows gamers to play in landscape mode, if portrait doesn’t do it for them.
Ergonomics and control are surely going to be a problem in the case of this device… I can’t see myself handling the control system easily and I bet that the fragile display will at some point get broken, since you can toy with it so much. What’s your take on this patent?
