Talking about physical devices, I see you mention tablets in public places. Would you make them eye-catching, so people come up to them, or hidden, to be spooked by someone's stare? There is an interesting project in Vilnius & Lublin that just shows a livestream on what's on the other side (it's still up today) https://www.theverge.com/2021/5/30/22460964

For the tablets I was picturing things that were pretty clearly labeled - you'd know what you're getting into. Like an exhibit or an installation (but in many places, not one). I don't think I'd want people to be surprised - I'd want them to get onto the call knowing that was the only time they'd see that person.

I love that installation! My old office had a (much less elegant) setup like this that linked some of the social / kitcheny spaces across our offices and I liked it a lot.

Oh wow I pitched this to tonari at the start of 2022 not knowing this existed. It’s beautiful
