Designer Rune Larson has had a pretty good run with his interesting cell phone concepts and the Shape Shifter you see here is another one of his unique concepts that could work 5 or 10 years down the lane, hopefully. The Shape Shifter incorporates two layers of plastic, one flexible and a hard one underneath it with “special” liquid between them. Different forms or shapes will be formed on the surface when the liquid is pushed between the layers. That would mean you could have pretty much any kind of keyboard on it and be completely independent of real buttons (provided there is some kind of tactile feedback). Pretty far-fetched, but still an interesting idea though.
