Mozilla Seabird Concept: Could This Be Reality ?

What would you do to get a phone that has built in projection? What would you do to get a phone with a full size keyboard that projects itself from the phone to your desk? Would it be cool if you could control your phone remotely using a Bluetooth dongle that clips out of the back of your phone?

Mozilla has a handset that does all that, and a video to show how the concept works. The phone is part of the Mozilla Labs Concept Series and is purely a render of what they envisage for an open platform phones based on Android could be.

The device has a screen that fills the entire front of the device with projectors coming from both sides- one projecting its screen into a wall and the opposite projecting a virtual keyboard onto your desk- all while the phone is mounted in a very cool looking piece of docking hardware.

Check out the video below:

Seabird was created by Billy May, a Mozilla Labs community member who has created an initial version a few years ago and now updated his vision from more feedback and advances in technology.

Wouldn’t this be a very cool piece of hardware to get your hands on?

Mozilla Labs Sea Bird

Apparently Mozzila have some labs where they go about all day making cool concepts of what the future will be like. ‘Who’d have thunk it’, right? Well this time they’ve come up with a pretty solid concept of what a mobile phone could be like in the not too distant future, making use of emerging technologies that exist or are about to exist. Their creation? Sea Bird! An Android based device with a whole host of awesome features that will leave you smiling.

Of course, this is really just a little bit of fun. After all, the device features an 8MP camera, dual Pico Projectors (one for display offering 45 Lumens @ 960×600 and one for interactive typing), embedded Bluetooth dongle that can act like a remote control too, 3.5mm headphone jack, wireless charging, and more. I guess after thinking about it, all these features seem realistic. Let’s face it, they could have put in a bendy OLED display too, but they thought better of that.

The take home message here from Mozzila is that when one goes about creating a concept device, one does not use Samsung’s Bada or Windows Mobile as the OS of choice. It’s Android, all the way. Enjoy the video after the jump.
