kyu touch was developed to create a tactile connection with memories stored in the digital realm. Through this small physical widget, we propose a new way of interacting with memories in an era where digital has become the norm.

Enjoy the moment

With the advancement of digital technology, we can now easily record and store our precious memories. However, these memories often remain buried within our devices, losing the opportunity for daily interaction.

kyu touch offers a way to interact more naturally with memories by giving them physical form. The image displayed on the screen has a gentle presence, distinct from that of a smartphone screen.

Simply touching the device allows you to access designated videos. This simple mechanism, which doesn't make you conscious of the technology behind it, enables natural dialogue with your memories.

Memories shape us

Memories can be companions in our daily lives, sometimes serving as a source of encouragement. However, memories stored in digital devices can only be encountered when intentionally accessed.

kyu touch brings your chosen precious moments into physical space. This small physical widget placed on your desk will sometimes reflect nostalgic scenes, and other times bring fresh discoveries.

The videos accessed through touching the device reveal richer context beyond what's shown on the display. While it may not be flashy, it provides just enough tactile feedback to revisit your memories.

Just-Enough is the key

We cherish the concept of "neither too much nor too little" in this product as well.

kyu touch doesn't have flashy effects like digital photo frames or complicated features. The calm atmosphere created by the e-paper display has just enough expressive power to highlight the essence of memories.

The update mechanism is also designed to be as simple as possible. Just select an image in the app and bring it close to the device to replace it with new memories. This concise operation enables pure dialogue with memories without making you conscious of the technology.

kyu touch stands quietly at the boundary between digital and physical. In our rapidly changing modern society, our quest to explore new relationships with memories has culminated in this simple device. The memories awakened by touch bring small discoveries and joy to daily life. This is the experience we want to cherish.
