Futuresonic Future Everything 3


Got a bug to bare with a friend too far away to fight with? Well don’t worry, Distance LAB have been working on ways to overcome the communication barriers of distance, whether it’s for work, lovers or enemies. Distance LAB displayed a few of these solutions at the Futuresonic conference in Manchester last week.

Distance LAB see the mobile phone as the fast food of communication. It’s a fast efficient tool, however it is also a one size fits all solution, and we all know that talking to our partner can be very different from talking to our boss or someone we are angry with. So Distance LAB have looked at these differences and tried to create various communication tools that can be considered slow food, unique, bespoke, and personal.

The image above shows technology that has been developed to allow people to 'shadow box, no matter how far away they are.
