L side up


Use all keys and the pointer control for camera functions. The wide screen display can be used as a light source for close-ups, especially when using the camera as a magnifying glass (typically while studying the check at a poorly illuminated restaurant!)
Wide Screen / Typing
U side up - Right handed (Picture 2)
D side up - Left handed (Picture 1)


The wide screen can be used for video calls, browsing the internet, updating phone directory, watching photos and movies, text messaging, chat etc. The pointer control is operated by the middle or index finger. The GKOS keys can be used for fast typing necessary for real-time chat or preparing of documents or for other serious writing jobs. Fast typing is the only operation where both hands are needed.
Stereoscopic access
B side up, top view (Picture 1)


The binocular viewers on the side provide 3-D access to videos, internet, photos and movies, etc. while being able to use the keyboard and pointer control fluently.

As can be seen above, the position of the device is different in each case (except the 3-D case). Consequently, if desired, switching between operation modes can be done automatically if the position is detected by sensors. Only select first whether you are right or left handed.
