A Phone Case for Phidgeters

pidgetcase_01

The Pidget Case (a play on the words fidget and phone case) is the latest in a trend of attention deficit remedies! As silly as the craze might seem, it actually proves useful for people who need to move in order to think. However, few remember or are willing to carry these fidget toys along with them.

Integrated into the case, the Pidget Case conveniently incorporates the same functionality as the world famous Fidget Cube. Because you always have your phone, you’ll always have your fidget toy handy so you can flick, spin, click or whatever else you need to do to focus!

By the way, totally calling dibs on “phidget”!

Senior Social-networking

senior_chat_1

While the possibilities of Senior Chat are diverse enough to change communication as we know it, I’ll speak purely from the design intent point-of-view. The Senior Chat allows elderly people who are cooped up at home to converse with one and another. Simply put, it’s instant messaging, done in a way that retains the older ways of communication while allowing technology to do its thing. One simply writes a letter and scans it, sending it out anonymously to all the other people using Senior Chat. Pull the rope on the device and your received letter prints out in all its hand-written glory. More like a bulletin board at home, the Senior Chat allows elderly people who feel lonely to converse with each other in a way that seems comfortable to them, but still manages to retain an element of surprise and awe!

Now imagine being able to maintain a tiny, exclusive social network among your close friends with the Senior Chat! That’s my personal prediction for the future of this novel little device!
