In 2011, BERG was challenged by Google Creative Lab to create a physical product encapsulating Google voice and video-chat. Known as a ‘connection box’ or ‘connbox’ for short, the conceptual experiments resulted in various material explorations, centered around rapid product prototyping to really understand what the experience of the physical device, service, and interface could be.
A multidisciplinary team at BERG developed the brief based on research, strategic thinking, and hardware/software prototyping. They came up with believable technical and experiential proof of a product that could be taken to market.
