Distance Lab’s Isophone

Just saw this very cool project presented at eComm by Stefan Agamanolis from Distance Lab.

“People lost track of time, they called for 5 minutes and thought they were chatting for 30 minutes. The nature of conversations was more creative, callers visited a lot of topics. They also gestured more, even with their legs.”

Stefan presents this project in a larger design initiative he’s dubbed slow communication – communication technologies explicitly designed to harmonize with natural human pace and sensitivities. It’s similar in spirit to some of the slow computing ideas I was tossing around a few years back.

We live in an amazing amazing world and it’s wasted on the crappiest generation.
