Buddy is a conceptual vision that combines connectivity with innovative adaptive technologies to continually evolve, learn, and interact with groundbreaking intelligence. The dynamic assistant moves around the home, adapting to the user’s rituals and comes alive when engaged. Buddy communicates information on the home and local community through its expressive ‘emotion and information display’ within a modular head-unit or projects information onto any surface.

LAYER collaborated with Deutsche Telekom Design Team to explore the future of communications and connectivity and ignite the imagination. Our industrial designers worked closely with our UI/UX and digital teams to conduct in-depth research into rituals and habits within the home. The insights gathered were combined with innovative autonomous AI capabilities to re-define the format, form and experience of interacting with your router.
