Laser Keyboard:

Apple's iPad has a keyboard dock that is sold separately which allows owners to use their iPad like a full-fledged computer. Such accessories however can be an inconvenience to tote around along with the actual Apple product.

With the establishment of the touch screen, the traditional phone with a hand held QWERTY keyboard has basically become obsolete. Even so, touch screen keyboards can also be difficult to use.

Based on a video developed by AatmaStudio, CP readers have proposed an easy access laser keyboard for the iPhone 5, which could be the best of both the touch screen and hand held QWERTY keyboard worlds.

As per AatmaStudio's iPhone 5 concept video, the laser keyboard can be accessed with the swipe of a finger and will shine onto any flat surface.

Once set up, the keyboard can be maneuvered as normal, with the user typing on the surface where the keys appear. The size and brightness of the keyboard can also be adjusted to the user's preference.

Hologram Screen:

Phones have advanced to allow users to be able to watch videos, television shows and movies on a readily available screen. However, the dimensions tend to be small unless the device is attached to a display or projector with a larger resolution.

In conjunction with the laser keyboard, CP readers have also proposed a hologram screen that makes for an easier viewing experience.

Similar to the laser keyboard, AatmaStudio's iPhone 5 concept video details a hologram screen that will pop up with the flick of a finger and will project a screen apparition into the air.

The screen can be adjusted and projected onto a flat and vertical surface to allow for a more detailed viewing experience.
