Your future smartphone could eroticism forwomenbe entirely voice activated, displaying your text messages and other info with holograms. At least, that's the idea behind Alo, a new smartphone concept that imagines a touchscreen-less smartphone.
Created by French designer Jerome Olivet with art direction from acclaimed designer Philippe Starck, Alo ditches the typical smartphone display. Instead, the voice-activated phone will project holograms from its camera that show your text messages or let you watch videos, according to Dezeen'sinterview with Oliviet.

I am not really sure what that means (I've reached out to Olivet for more information) but Deezan reports the surface will also vibrate and give off heat as another means of interaction.
Though Olivet promises Alo will fit "perfectly" in your hand, the concept images look slippery as hell and not ideal for those prone to dropping their phones. But the designers have apparently thought of this too as the as-of-yet-unknown magic outside material also "repairs automatically as soon as it is damaged."
