Wow, this is probably something that will never see light of day, if ever. The device called Empathy from RIM is able to detect the emotions of your BlackBerry contacts using a ‘mood-ring’, and also acts as a fully functional touchscreen that goes transparent when in standby.
The device of course is just a concept. More to the point, a design project for the Art Center College of Design. It’s notable, and probably defining factor is that it can transmit your emotions via the phone using a biometric feedback ring which is then displayed and indicated by coloured rings. See the video below for more of an idea how that works, it is not that clear mind you.
