I see what you mean.Originally Posted by Nero
You seem to have put the main viewing screen so close to the edges of the main frame, yet you have so much spaced wasted as soon as it inclines (The frame work). If the screen doesn't need that extra trimming on the main device, what does? I mean if its the hardware, it would only make the tablet more fat (You can see this on the HP tablet, ect).
So atm, you have a lot of wasted space, which doesn't make any sense.
(If you don't get what I mean, I am referring to the inclined parts of the tablet.)
Also, use Mental ray to render or Vray, will really help bring out the tablet.
The idea behind this was to make a tablet which didn't follow the same rules nearly every single one currently does.
By that I mean nearly every single tablet looks in some way or another akin to the Ipad, This is all good and fine but I wanted to look into something a little more diverse.
The other aspect I took into mind is the hardware of your average tablet is rather...weak, with the buffed chassis you could have more powerful tech and possibly have touch pads on it
in the space next to "Legacy" once powered on it would have some functions show through the casing, I'm sure you've seen some of the monitors which seem to have no power on only to find that they're touch sensitive right? The idea follows on that line.
Here's a small check list I followed when designing this:
Does it have a 16/9 ratio screen for viewing widescreen media?
Does it look functional and yet distance itself from other devices on market?
Does it have the ability to be upgraded at a later date via possible panels in the back? [yes but they've not been shown]
How would the user handle the device? [many tablets have such a small bevel that a guy like my self wouldn't be able to handle it without having atleast one finger on the screen, big hands and all]
Would the device be large and come with it's own carry case for ferrying to and from places or would it be small, nimble but prone to damage from pocket carrying?
I chose to have this larger than your average tablet and be about the length on it's widest side of an xbox 360.
Many of the little details were put in on the fly as I was designing it on the fly.
I am taking notes on things to take how ever but in general proportions I am rather happy with, obviously there are smaller details to be changed or enhanced and those will continue with the help of suggestions and what not.
I've been showcasing this off to several places and had a few people take interest in it, one even mentioning interest in purchasing the device if it ever got produced.
Would it be possible for a staff to move the posts about this tablet into this years thread rather than having two serve the same function?
