Bluetooth can give you a new kind of freedom. You might share information, synchronize data, access the Internet, integrate with local area networks (LANs), or even unlock your car - all by simply using your Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone.
At first, Bluetooth will begin to replace the cables that connect various digital devices. Imagine a headset for your mobile phone that does not need a cable - calls are transmitted wirelessly to your earpiece. Bluetooth will also allow you to surf the Web with your laptop while your phone is in your bag, or effortlessly exchange information such as calendar appointments or contact addresses with your colleagues - all without a single wire.
Bluetooth might also be used in mobile imaging. Nokia and Fujifilm have been developing a prototype for mobile imaging technology, allowing a modified Nokia 9210 Communicator containing a Bluetooth chip to receive images taken with a Bluetooth-equipped Fujifilm digital camera. The user can send the photograph through to another Nokia Communicator or to the Fujifilm Web service, where it could be viewed, printed, or saved. By combining the ease of multimedia messaging with digital photography, mobile imaging is a clear indication of the potential of Bluetooth.
Take a look at our concept video presenting some of Nokia's visions for Bluetooth applications and services in the mobile world. The video presents just one of the many potential new applications possible once Bluetooth is widely available in different devices.
End users should not be required to shape their lives or the way they do things around new technologies, but vice versa: the communication and computing environment should be shaped around user needs and preferences. Nokia's down-to-earth approach to technology provides new and relevant solutions that are flexible enough to adapt to individual lifestyles.
For example, in the video, you will see how the following imaginary Bluetooth applications could be used in a real-life situation:
Augmented Reality Vision EyeGlasses: A Bluetooth link to the boat's central information system catches news flashes about the current race situation, or the availability of docking space in the harbor.
Bluetooth Stereo Headset: The headsets not only help the crew members communicate, they can also use a Bluetooth link to the boat's central information system to listen to music and news flashes.
Bluetooth Earpiece: The crew members can communicate with each other via a repeater installed on the boat.
