duncan wilson: cup communicator
duncan wilson: cup communicator

the cup communicator is an imaginative digital reworking of the classic children’s toy of two tin cans
attached with a long piece of string. the device is activated by tugging the cord and talking is started by
squeezing the cup. the pair of cups work together and have the effect of a walkie-talkie. when one
person talks, the other person’s cup plays their voice and vice versa. the device is designed to recall
the children’s toy and its magic and playfulness. however wilson has explored its potential as a medium
of interaction enhanced through contemporary digital technology.

I don't think this has any relevance to the original design it is based on. It's just a fancy walkie talkie.
