The complete system and experience allows for new users to communicate with the ones they care about without having to use a computer.
The device uses friend passes, which is a physical link to a friends digital content. This is used with ‘bettys’ tangible user interface to load more specific information about a person.
The device was made as part of Ben Arents ( www.benarent.co.uk ) design degree, and is meant to be as a design concept that will help start a conversation about new methods of communication.
