following up on google creative lab and BERG‘s previous investigation into interactive light interfaces, the idea to create a physical product encapsulating google voice/video-chat services emerged. known as ‘connection box’ or ‘connbox’ for short, the conceptual experiments resulted in various material explorations, centered around rapid product prototyping to really understand what the experience of physical device, service and interface could be.
