The device has a [built-in projector](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dangbei-n2-mini) intended to be used separately from a computer. The Be2 Visual Communication Device is designed to look like a set of balanced pebbles, with each pebble making up an integral part of the system. When not in use, the different components of Be2 can be stacked on one another. When you want to video chat you simply remove the "stones" from the stack and attach Be2's [camera and microphone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tew01) to its base. Video chatting is becoming more and more popular, but many people are still unable to enjoy it when using outdated computers. A device such as the Be2 Visual Communication Device would allow people, especially older folks, to video chat with friends and family from anywhere in the home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 38% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Life](https://www.trendhunter.com/life) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Stylish Visual Communication:** The Be2 Visual Communication Device offers a stylish and compact solution for video chatting in any room of the house. - **Integrated Projector Technology:** The built-in projector in the Be2 device demonstrates the potential for integrating projectors into communication gadgets for enhanced user experience. - **Streamlined Video Chatting:** Be2's stackable design and easy setup provide a streamlined and user-friendly video chatting experience. ### Where This Applies - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry can take inspiration from the Be2 Visual Communication Device to develop innovative video chat gadgets with improved design and functionality. - **Home Appliances:** The home appliances industry has the opportunity to incorporate integrated projectors into their products for enhanced multimedia experiences, as demonstrated by the Be2 device. - **Senior Care:** The senior care industry can leverage the Be2 Visual Communication Device's user-friendly design to enable elderly individuals to easily connect with their loved ones through video chat. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [WFH Communication Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smart-communication-device.md) - [Advanced Video Call Prototypes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-4.md) - [Sleek Holographic Communication Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holographic-communication-device.md) - [Centralized Webcam Display Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veeo-t35.md) - [Expressive Side-Display Projectors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/video-bubble-projector.md) - [Physical Video Call Controllers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/virtual-meeting-controller.md) - [Eye Contact Webcams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/icontact-camera.md) - [Desktop Display Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minitoo-retro-pc-style.md) - [Two-in-One Smart Speaker Webcams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/webcam-concept.md)
