Falcon Images in a BottleThe use of and ease of digital imaging technology has seen our hard drives become increasingly swamped with pictures, the majority of which never make the transition from hard disk to home and hence are destined never to be seen unless we are sat before our monitors.

The advent of digital photo frames is certainly one solution to getting your pictures out of the computer and on display in your home, but companies such as NEC are already looking at altogether more interesting alternative methods of displaying your imagery in a number of highly original concepts and, of these, the Falcon is certainly one of the most intriguing.

Touted as a Virtual Storage Bottle, the Falcon is a device that will display imagery via an inorganic electroluminescent display with images being selected according to specific dates and emotions via projection so that they appear to float within the bottle.

The details concerning this fascinating concept are scant, to say the least, but it does give us an insight as to how we may be displaying our imagery in the future.

You can see this as well as some of the other concepts currently being looked at by NEC, including the curious Wacca Bracelet, via this site.
