That frees up space for modules that will create and integrate new functionality that you cannot get on your smartphone today,&#8221; \u00a0Said the project&#8217;s lead engineer, recently at a conference!<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that the project is definitely moving forward, and we have started to see some devices trying to incorporate the idea.

As of the time of this article, the prototype is aiming at swapping things like\u00a0a secondary e-paper display,\u00a0a high-resolution camera,\u00a0loud speakers,\u00a0expandable storage, or even a\u00a0kickstand. And it is proposed to be out commercially by end of 2017!<\/p>\n<p>In another news, a new research is making screens that can be remodulated just like a rubik cube!
