Sticky notes are an office essential but can quickly clutter up a professional space, so the 'eMinder' is positioned as a modern solution for consumers to eliminate their use of paper. The device is constructed with a wooden frame and a four-inch e-paper display that's finished with a recycled aluminum backplate in the rear. The accompanying smartphone app provides users with the ability to create a list and transfer it to the device for display in a variety of different styles.
The 'eMinder' is NFC-enabled and doesn't have a battery or require a plug to be used, which will maximize the number of places it can be positioned. The device is perfect for those looking to avoid distractions from smartphones or computers as they work away on their tasks.
