​In ancient times, people read from rolled-up papyrus scrolls. Today, many of us read from flat tablets. Scientists at Canada's Queen's University have now combined aspects of the two, in the potentially-quite-handy MagicScroll.

Claimed to be the world's first virtual musical instrument for flexible phones, Queen's University's new "WhammyPhone" prototype promises kinesthetic control never before experienced on a smartphone.

​The same team that developed a flexible phone which treats bending its screen as a form of input have now done themselves one better by creating a flexing display that's also holographic.

BitDrones are flying 3D display pixels that are designed to swarm in their thousands to produce giant, interactive graphic displays that could be used for the likes of 3D gaming, medical imaging, and molecular modelling.

Described as a multi-display, shape-changing smartphone, the PaperFold allows up to three separate E-Ink displays to be combined into various shapes to support different functions and provide extra screen real estate when required.

The MorePhone is a prototype smartphone that can curl up to indicate incoming calls, texts or emails.

The PaperTab is a flexible, touchscreen tablet that is designed to redefine not only the tablet computer's form, but also the way we use them.

Researchers have created a thin film flexible smartphone, known as the Paperphone.
