新華網(wǎng)北京10月15日電 根據(jù)科技博客網(wǎng)站Gizmodo報道,來自瑞士洛桑藝術(shù)大學(xué)的學(xué)生Alice Robbiani設(shè)計出一種給iphone充電的感應(yīng)充電器，能使手機成為掛鐘。

    有無數(shù)種方法可以替代Spira能做的兩件事情：給手機充電和報時。但是一名來自交互設(shè)計專業(yè)的學(xué)生Alice Robbiani所制作的設(shè)備卻能使其合二為一，她的感應(yīng)充電器能使iphone在充電時成為一只交互式的掛鐘。

    在她瑞士洛桑藝術(shù)大學(xué)的畢業(yè)論文中，她制作了一個給iphone充電的感應(yīng)式充電臺和一個應(yīng)用程序，取名為Spira。充電時屏幕上的每一個球形代表了10%的手機電池電量。充電臺本身附著在的金屬邊框上，當(dāng)你把手機放上去，它像一個掛壁的設(shè)備。邊框的表面被涂滿了熱變色油墨，當(dāng)手機充電時，表面呈現(xiàn)出鐘表形狀。

    更酷的是，當(dāng)你垂直旋轉(zhuǎn)手機時，手機屏幕上也呈現(xiàn)出鐘表形態(tài)，這與被涂滿熱變色油墨的框架融為一體。

    此時你的手機不僅在感應(yīng)充電中，它還可以作為一只特設(shè)的掛鐘陪伴你等待充電。正如Robbiani所說：“它總能自豪的處于家中一隅”。

    雖然這個新奇的理念只是一次性的，但是考慮到Robbiani暫時只是一個學(xué)生，這個雛形本身就令人稱贊。沒有什么能比將智能手機與居家環(huán)境融為一體的創(chuàng)意更高妙了！

This Inductive Charger Makes Powering Up Your iPhone Beautiful

    There are plenty of ways to do the two things that Spira?does: Charge your phone and tell you the time. But there's nothing quite like the device that interaction design student Alice Robbiani has built to combine them—her inductive charger turns your iPhone into an interactive wall clock while it charges.

    For her thesis at ECAL in Lausanne, Robbiani built an inductive charging dock for her iPhone and an app, called Spira, that displays charging levels on the screen using balls that each represent 10 percent of your phone's battery life. The dock itself is attached to a metal frame, which looks like a simple wall mount until you actually put your phone down on it: The face of the frame is painted in thermochromatic ink, and displays a clock-like pattern when the phone is charging.

    Here's the cool part: When you rotate your phone vertically, the face becomes a clock that corresponds to the thermochromatic clock face on the frame:

    So not only is your phone now being charged inductively—it's acting as an ad hoc wall clock while you wait, which Robbiani calls "a place of honor in the home atmosphere."

    It's a novel (and unfortunately, one-off) concept, but it's a pretty incredible prototype considering that Robbiani is still a student. And as far as ways to integrate your smartphone with your home-based systems, it couldn't be more clever. [CreativeBOOM; ECAL]
