Physically flexible technology products are on the horizon for being one of the next innovations that's sure to disrupt the industry, so the 'MagicScroll' is an example of just such a device. Created as a prototype by a Queens University team at the Human Media Lab, the device works by boasting a cylindrical design that can be bent and shaped to suit different needs. This enables users to access content on a large 7.5 inch display and quickly roll it up after use for easy portability or when looking to place calls.
The 'MagicScroll' boasts a 2K resolution on the flexible display and has a 3D-printed body that is integrated with rotary wheels on either end for users to seamlessly scroll through content.
