Solution Bamboo wireless... The initial idea behind the connectivity of the device was that it had the ability to develop and ‘grow’ through various forms of wireless connectivity. The unique user-friendly gestural interface enables the user to quickly and simply share files, work or photos through a wide range of different media for example interactive display boards or digital projectors. Similarly if the user wishes to receive work then the task is made as equally simple by the interface. Bamboo utilizes the benefits of cloud computing to update, store and access vast quantities of data allowing for the ultimate in mobile computing. The bamboo dock enables the user to store files in the home allowing work and home life to be clearly separated. As Bamboo is designed to be implemented and distributed within an establishment wireless charging and wireless access will be available throughout the campus eliminating the need for transporting wires and chargers.

The interface has been specificly designed to minimise power consumption. Because the two screens are different dimensions the central point is still screen space instead of dead folding space. This helps link to the “soal” of the device (the central column) from which the interface animates.
The inductive charging station takes on a sculptural form to justify its position on a desk. Incoporated in the central hub are two USB ports to which any wired devices can be connected to and wirelessly transmitted to the device. This means that if an external HD is connected your charging station will act as your own personal cloud storage.
The benefits of back painting the glass facia allow us to create a sense of depth within the device and help give the form an organic feel. Because the area above the OLED screen is thinner than the outer frame the paint gets closer to the surface and appears to be allot more intense, whilst the surface remains the same.
