LAYERS COLLECTIONS CONCEPTS 

2010 : Presented to carriers + led to several product slots

ID Conceptualization  .  Prototyping

Tooling is expensive.  How might we design a dimensional mobile device using inexpensive sheet materials? 

Using horizontal layers creates a high tier and tactile effect.  Layers seemingly conform to integrated components creating movement and flow within the object.

Horizontal layers are a far less complex approach.  A stepped form factor creates curvature and a gradient effect if desired.  The branding dimple offers a natural placement for the thumb or forefinger to pull back part of the housing to reveal a protected imager and flash.

Examples of recommended materials, Objet + Zcorp studies and hand prototypes capturing machined and stamped sheet materials
