LAYER, in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom, has designed next generation concepts to explore what the future of communications and connectivity look like in homes.

LAYER believes the future of communication deserves a literal friendlier face attached to it. Unveiled in Barcelona at Mobile World Congress, the design studio worked in collaboration with Deutsche Telekom to materialize three near-future concepts in the form of a holographic home hub, a modular router, and a mobile smart robot. Under the collection name Concept T, each design is envisioned to soften digital interactions by adding tactile controls, AI-enhanced features, and even a bit of dimensionality via 3D holographic display.

Concept T aren?t just concepts but functional prototypes and we have had to be extremely cross-disciplinary within the LAYER team to deliver. Our technologists, engineers, digital and physical designers, and communications experts have worked together to create an immersive installation that is a showcase for the possible future of home connectivity. ?

View looks like a technologist’s crystal ball, one enhanced by current 3D holographic display technology to re-imagine Deutsche Telekom?s services into a dimensional video call experience. View is not just a one way display; equipped with smart depth cameras tasked to scan the user?s face, the person on the other side of a video call can see a dimensional capture of the “caller.R...
