Asus shows interesting folding netbook concepts in promo video

March 10, 2009 2 Comments

In a presentation Asus made during CeBIT 2009, the company revealed that it had several interesting netbook concepts up its sleeve. These had to do mainly with netbooks and their folding abilities, applying the philosophies of origami, the famous Japanese paper art, to make an improved netbook design with better cooling/upgrading process in mind. Three such concepts showcased by Asus are seen in the above embedded video, and if you really imagine having these devices some time in the near future, I’m sure you’ll be smiling before you can help yourself. Watch the full video above to know what I’m talking about.

    I’m an origami fan and paper airplanes is one of my favorite forms of the art. It challenges not just your folding skills but also teaches you about aerodynamics. I remember a software called “The Greatest Paper Airplanes”. It teaches how to fold 50 different paper airplanes step by step with instructions and videos. Too bad the software is no longer distributed but there’s a website that teaches how to fold those 50 paper airplanes.
