ASUS Waveface Tablet Concept Unveiled
The ASUS Waveface Tablet looks so futuristic! At the ongoing CES ASUS displayed a prototypes of its Waveface series conceptual products. Electronista had an hands-on experience with the Waveface concept and this is what they report. There are three variants of this device: Waveface Light, Waveface Casa, and Waveface Ultra. The Waveface Light (pictured above) is a futuristically designed tablet with an OLED display. The most interesting thing about this tablet is that its a flexible OLED tablet that also fold up into a typical notebook computer.
The Waveface Casa is a TV-like home computer machine, serving as an information terminal. Design-wise it is similar to Waveface LIght except for the fact that when it is opened, you can use it to watch video or handle more complex data. When closed, it would show only simple information like time and weather.
On the other hand the Waveface Ultra is the most portable of the lot. It has an iPhone like design, and can be used as a hybrid phone and a portable computing device. Interesting thing about this device is that thanks to its flexible OLED design you can wrap it around your wrist but still have a single surface when handheld.
As for time being all these are conceptual product and far from ready for consumers. The main reason for this is cost of flexible OLED, making final product horribly expensive.
But ASUS promised that once prices of flexible OLED come down they’ll surely think of mass producing such devices.
