Expressive Feline Smart Assistants

The Conceptual 'Black Cat' Smart Hub Has a Demure Design

Connected solutions within the home are quickly becoming a mainstay part of our living spaces, so the conceptual 'Black Cat' smart hub aims to give them a more expressive, friendly design. The hub features a feline-inspired aesthetic that sits invitingly on a surface within the home to keep the interactive face of the digital pet-like solution facing inhabitants. Users can take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI)-based controller functionality to seamlessly manage all of the devices in their home and beyond.

The conceptual 'Black Cat' smart hub is the design work of Jungho Lee and YoungWoo Jeong, and has been created with the Apple technology ecosystem in mind to bring a touch of character to the advanced device.
