This calculator is the love child of the iPod Classic and a vintage rotary telephone! - Yanko Design

With technological designs getting more and more advanced by the infinitesimal, nobody would await industrial designers to actively seek inspiration in the past, but they are and they're succeeding at information technology! One such designer Marco Schembri created the Xiaomi Mi08, which may seem like an ordinary reckoner but with a twist; hither the past meets the present to create the futurity. Instead of your usual figurer with a number keypad, Schembri took inspiration from the vintage rotary telephones and adopted a bike sensor, which enables the user to select the numbers without manually typing them in. When you get-go see the device it may remind yous of the iPod Classic, but the functionality retained is that of the rotary phone. The feel becomes entirely impact-based, without the user having to consistently lift their fingers and click on buttons.

Through the Xiaomi Mi08, the designer wanted to highlight the coherent union of both the current digital technology and the technology of yesteryears, which can combine to transform even a mutual device such equally a calculator. The Xiaomi figurer has a crisp and futuristic appeal, patented by a dot-matrix brandish against a speckled white groundwork. Bordering nearly on minimalism, the Xiaomi Mi08 is dissimilar any other calculator I have e'er seen. With the effort calculations already require, I wouldn't mind giving my fingers a break from constantly click-clacking of the number keys!
