‘Spectrum' Makes In-Home Interaction Way Too Convenient

— February 20, 2009 — Art & Design
Childhood years are often saturated with loud calls and piercing speech exchanges among family members throughout the house. If you thought that was frustrating, consider employing an effortless way to communicate more quietly. This is the daunting aim of Spectrum, a cordless mode of communication that offers the occupants hassle-free interaction among the different rooms of their residence.

Designed by Werner Helmich, the concept introduces a tempting design that boasts the state-of-the-art technology of CAT-iq. The most daunting part of the Spectrum design is just how easy it makes keeping tabs on kids for parents. If it could also work outside the house, it would be a parent’s favorite gadget to terrorize their children!
Trend Themes
1. Effortless Home Communication - Spectrum introduces cordless communication that offers hassle-free interaction within the residence, paving the way for new and innovative ways of communication in the home.
2. State-of-the-art Intercom Technology - Spectrum's use of the latest technology in CAT-iq presents opportunities for companies to develop products that employ cutting-edge technology in intercom systems.
3. Child Monitoring Technology - With Spectrum's easy-to-use design that makes it easier for parents to keep tabs on their children, there is an opportunity to develop similar technologies for childcare centers and facilities.
Industry Implications
1. Home Automation - Spectrum's cordless communication is a great addition to home automation systems, creating an avenue for companies in the industry to innovate and offer unique communication features to their customers.
2. Telecommunications - Spectrum's employment of state-of-the-art CAT-iq technology presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for telecommunication companies to create better intercom systems for commercial, public, and personal use.
3. Childcare - Spectrum's design that makes monitoring children easier creates opportunities for childcare facilities to employ similar technology in childcare monitoring facilities to improve the quality of care they offer.
