Rockwell's vision of the future: A glass tube booth for video
conferencing with wireless transmission. Simply swipe a card or deposit
cash to enter. When not in use, the clear booth floats in the visual
landscape of the city. When occupied, the booth becomes opaque and
obscures the caller. On the outside, passersby view animated
advertisements while inside the caller uses hands-free technology to
place the visual call. Once a call is dialed the caller's image is
transmitted via the boothıs camera and the occupant views the person
with whom he or she is speaking. The booth also features multiple
windows, similar to Internet screens, containing information and
advertisements.
