Digital Memory Display – app-controlled photo and video light cube

Digital Memory Display – your photos and clips shown as a glowing cube

A translucent cube that plays back the images and short videos you load onto it. The light spreads through the glass panel, so a picture reads as a soft block of light rather than a flat screen. Everything is managed from a mobile app, and the battery means it does not have to sit by an outlet.

Why choose this memory display?

A phone gallery holds thousands of photos that nobody looks at. This keeps a small selection in view on a desk or shelf, and swapping them out takes a minute in the app. A woven strap is attached, so you can pick it up and carry it to another room.

• App control: upload, reorder and remove images and clips from your phone.
• 3D glow effect: light diffuses through the cube instead of glaring off a flat panel.
• Rechargeable and cordless: up to 4 hours of playback away from an outlet.
• Dimmable: turn it down for evenings and up for a bright room.
• Carrying strap: a woven loop for moving it around or hanging it in place.

It turns a handful of saved files into something you actually pass by and notice.

The cube measures 7 cm on each side, which is about the footprint of a coffee mug. Load it once for a birthday or a trip and leave it running on a side table, or top it up over USB and take it with you. Storage is 100 MB, so it holds a curated set rather than a whole camera roll.
