Your Digital Self



This item was created during my Thesis year at Norwich University. While starting my research on electric cars and charging stations needed, it became aware to me that we are very much a "digital" world and with that digital world we infact have a digital self that exists online. This "KEY" would replace your cell phone, credit card, tablet, etc with one item that did it all. It was your access to your digital self. When closed, the device was not much larger than a modern day pen.  The screen would be a roll up touch LCD screen and would undroll by seperating the two parts of the device, allowing you to see you bank funds, social media, email, and even your current personal health. As a security mechanism to discourage it being stolen, a thumb print scanner is equipped to utilize the device.  On the opposite end there is a slot where you could use your device for purchases and accessing places like your home, work, vehicles, and computers. Inherent in the concept of my electric vehicle thesis, the device was designed with technology that is all available today, with the access slot, partial thumb print scanner, and yes, even the roll up touch LCD screen, even though you cannot go pick one up at Best Buy yet.
