What Will Motorola’s Future Phones Look Like in 2033?

Motorola’s designers, from five different offices around the globe, have been dedicating a portion of their time since late last year to a project called “Motorola 2033.” The initiative, under the auspices of the Consumer Experience Design team (CXD), uses the 25th anniversary of the mobile phone as an opportunity to imagine mobile device design 25 years on, resulting in a curious set of research-based blue sky concepts rooted in some fantastical, yet plausible suppositions.

The results range from the relatively obvious (a phone embedded in a ring), to the technologically unlikely (’Minority Report’ style gestures and floating screens), and the genuinely inspiring–especially when they start leveraging the extensive non-US, non-Europe influence in their distributed team.
