This short clip tries to answer the question: how do we make digital content, via the mobile phone, more graspable? Essentially to give it more meaning and context. He postulates that humans should not get more technical but that technology should be a bit more human.

Fabian looks at the 3 phone mods to make this happen:

1. Add weight - imagine if your phone tilted in the direction you needed to go on Google Maps.

2. Add dimension - if you are reading a book why not have the device grow.

3. Add a heartbeat - a device that gets excited for you.
