Levitation Station Charges Phone as it Floats


Charging cables, and even charging pads, are so last year. What you really want is a way to make your phone float while it re-juices its batteries, and that’s exactly what In-Oh Yoo and Sun-woong Oh want to give you. Their (concept) combo phone and charging-station use magnets to keep the phone floating, and use magic (or some other unspecified tech) to fill the battery.
So far, so boring – it’s not much more than a Sky Mall executive toy, right? Things get interesting when the phone rings (or an alarm goes off):the handset starts to spin, and the after-image effect creates a 3D illusion showing the caller ID.
Annoyingly, the designers saw fit to make the charger glow at night, a “feature” that serves only to annoy you as you try to get to sleep. But otherwise this is pretty damn cool. If you’re going to have a charging station, why not have one which levitates your phone?
