TRVL PC Concept
Published by Sierra Monica B., on May 05 2008, in the categories: NextGen PC Design Competition
TRVL is the name of a portable PC design concept and comes from “travel” because it is destined to those that spend considerable amounts of time on the go and would benefit from an all-in-one computer with mapping, guide, passport, schedule, TV, cell phone, email communication, digital camera, and video/music player functionalities.


These are main functions encountered at Smartphones but besides them, TRVL has a unique feature, it give the user the possibility to find detailed information about any object they select from the environment.

For example, if you are in a trip in another country and find an impressive building design that caught your attention, you just have to capture it with the transparent display and select it. Like this, TRVL finds all the data about the building in the database and displays it. Imagine how many new things you could learn with such a high-end device!

Another useful capability is the identity and ticket display. It can be set to show your identity card or passport, driver license and so on, on its transparent screen, eliminating the need to carry an extra bag with these documents, and the possibility to lose them.
It’s small, measuring 125 x 89.5 x 7 mm, the size of an American passport.

The display is touch-sensitive and TRVL also features voice-recognition for easy and secure access, but there also a few buttons on the side for main functions.
Why would TRVL be an ecological product? Because it would be powered by solar energy even for the thermal cooling system inside it.
