This concept was developed in response to an annual project that was sponsored by Motorola. The goal was to develop a concept for pagers that would be simple and fun for kids and teens to use.

My approach was to create a 'video pager'. Using a simple three button interface, this pager allows the user to look into the front mounted lens and see a snapshot (or video clip) of the caller. I believe that this functionality would be of interest to anyone who currently uses paging technology. It offers not only transmission of raw data, but a visual interface as well.

Two protypes were constructed, the one below was made with urethane foam and polyester resin. The integrated lens was cast in clear epoxy.

The other prototype (not shown) was a similar design, but dipped in a rubber compound to provide a grippy, durable, waterproof skin for the device.
