Final project for my interaction design postgraduate degree. It introduces the “Cradle Computing” concept. A concept that brings an integrated computing experience using a device called "ONE" and shells that can be used as extensions of its functionality, named "CRADLES". It has a broad range of advantages when compared to today's standards, which consists on the use of many different devices for each of the users needs, since it delivers an integrated experience, simplifies the identification process and makes the transfer and sharing of data between devices a much easier task. Moreover, the system gives users a much better price for the acquisition of new devices, since it reduces significantly its costs.

INFORMATION
Some buttons and information are
hidden from view on the ONE,
because of this context were
judged unnecessary by the
developer.
When the PC View is activated, the
information becomes in view,
since its content will be of use.
The functionality
of the physical
buttons of the
ONE are
translated into the
UI when the PC
View is activated.
The HOME and MENU buttons, for
example, are displayd on the top bar
of the system on the PCView.
