Storyboard for Open Innovation

Here is the storyboard for our inspirational movie, we are shooting it just now as I write this text. It goes a little something like this:



Harold wakes up and snoozes the alarm using a gesture above the phone.



He then continues to read some news in his bed.



He finds an article he likes and expands the screen to get a better reading experience and decides to share it to his friends.



Somewhere in the meantime Ana is brushing her teeth in front of her mirror. The mirror shows widgets and news.



She controls the UI on the mirror using gestures. She then finds Harolds shared article and decides to share it to her other friends as well.



At the same time Will is just arriving at work.



He sits down by his transparent screen and starts working when he sees the piece of news shared by Ana. He tells his co-worker to have a look at it. He can see it from his side of the transparent screen. Will does a quick mash-up of the news. He puts it on his phone.



He meets Harold on his lunch break, the guy who started the sharing link, and gives him the mash up while the phones are stitched together. And they lived happily ever after...

Keep posted because the video is coming soon.

The first character is almost exactly like most of my mornings, including this one. Snoozing alarms is done by flipping over my mobile. And then when I do turn to read, I am usually using the Nokia N97 in its keyboard-out mode so that I can share Google Reader items immediately.

The last scene, where the information is shared back to the initial sharer, that seems very similar to an idea I once posted at the Symbian Ideas site where the BumpAPI would be integrated within the platform. Guessing though that we'd be talking something a bit more reaching, so possibly the devices simply need to touch or be screen-near each other for sharing to happen.

The idea of sharing a mashup is interesting though. That stroke my imagination a good bit. Makes me think of another way to use the content and web server on my mobile.

Thanks for the inspiration as always.
