reConnect

Physical interface reconnecting seniors with smartphone actions In a constantly updating technological world, the smartphone demonstrates the difficulty of many – especially the elderly – to keep up with the pace of new technologies. Reconnect is a series of accessories that can be effortlessly attached to the smartphone and add a physical interface focused on a specific action. The design of the accessories goes back to a time when each function had its own device, and builds on the clear and familiar mode of operation to update the abstract design typical of contemporary technological gadgets.
