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.
