Not sure if this Blackberry is looking to the future or the Past! the “Empathy” is the unusual outcome of a “RIM-sponsored” design project at the Art Center College of Design and says it has ability to detect the emotions of its user AND his or her contacts(Sure Buddy). Detecting Emotions like anger and joy will be displayed on a social map, colored rings indicate your contacts’ previous and current emotional states and that is to be presented on a full touchscreen that can become transparent when the phone’s not in use. Still a Button Pusher huh? Well just Turn the phone around, and you’ve got one of the ugliest looking portrait QWERTY keyboards the world has ever seen. Tech wise this phone has an inability to properly sync IMAP accounts in real time, which is not exactly what smartphone users can do without at this point in the game. From the video after the jump(which looks fake) we can’t see this in your hands anytime soon!!!

  [...] Thermochromic paint is temperature sensitive, so when applied to a cloth mask it would react to someone breathing through it. That’s how YouTube user guinness0507 achieved the same effect as all that Hollywood movie magic, and for paint that supposedly cost him around $70 (which would be enough to make 50 masks, apparently). Same concept as a mood ring, or a weird Blackberry [...]
