Calculators are an essential tool for students of all kinds but haven't been privy to the same updates as other technology devices on the market, so the conceptual 'TouchCal' identifies what can be done to change this.
The calculator has been designed by Gavin Rea and features a clean user interface that draws inspiration from modern smartphones, which is evident as per the integrated LCD screen. The lower portion of the device maintains the traditional mechanical keyboard to ensure it maintains a familiar functionality that is balanced with the latest technology.
The conceptual 'TouchCal' is positioned as a total education tool thanks to the programming functionality, access to Kahn Academy's lesson and video libraries, and its capability to be used for computer data entry.
