Hooray for communication expansion! Industrial Designer / Superman Shane Crozier’s made a lovely little creature here to expand the way we simply peek at eachother by expanding emotion while also expanding personal space. How! How is that possible you might say. Well you just look at MeMe and you will understand. MeMe is a little LED-light-centered robot that runs on a SIM Card or a USB. You get your own, design it to look like you, then gift it to a friend with whom you’d like to stay connected.

Emotions expressed!
The little guy hypothetically works in tangent with computers and personal communication devices such as telephones and pads and such. To keep things current, each emotion is only displayed for a maximum 2 minutes… at which time the person will have found some coffee and their mood will have changed drastically.
SCENARIOS:
1-An elderly grandparent who has no internet or mobile can receive emotional visual messages from a family member with no presumed understanding of technology.
2-A mother on a business trip can keep in touch with her child
3-Long-distance lovers can use MeMe to keep in touch.TECHNICAL:
Height: 100mm
