The renowned Gallic designers Philippe Starck and Jerome Olivet have teamed up to come up with a futuristic smartphone design based on holograms and voice recognition. The inventors say that this new concept will revolutionize the future of cell phones.

They christened the invention as 'Alo' and, at first sight, it does not even look like a telephone, since it has a very peculiar appearance. The device is manufactured on the basis of a curved aluminum capsule, developed for a better adaptation to the hand. It is covered by a layer of flexible and transparent polymer that surrounds the whole apparatus.

The particularity of this mobile device is that it does not have a keyboard or touch screen. Instead, 'Alo' projects holograms and is completely controlled by voice commands.

"The camera on the phone acts like a kind of 'eye'. Among other things, it allows the user to read the texts or identify the faces. It also allows you to project a 3D hologram to see a movie or a message, "Olivet told technology portal Dezeen.

Currently, 'Alo' is just an idea, but the designers have already planned to build their first prototype. For this, they have allied with the Canadian brand of electronics Thomson, said Sputnik.
