Now this is a toy I really want! The Cup Communicator is a wireless version of the dixie-cup-and-string walkie-talkie design – unfortunately it is only a design concept.
Tug the cord to activate, squeeze to talk and hold to the mouth and ear…
The form and function of the Cup Communicator refer to the ‘two-cans and string’ children’s toy and the physical factors involved with that device. This typology and its associations remind us of the magic and playful intrigue of our first communication devices that has been lost by the desire for more efficient forms of telecommunication.
Ah, this is really a nostalgic tech day!
Dude, I totally made a mockup of this thing for my advanced sculpture class the other day, that pisses me off.
Posting for contest. Remember the HD-DVD drive is great, but viewing the movies will require addtional hardware that is HDCP compliant as the movies are AACS encoded.
How much would you pay for a pair of these?
I am going to make a pair of these this weekend… :)
Should cell phones or 2-way radios be used ?
