The Approach
Total immersion is the best way to learn a language: Eco is a collaborative computer that achieves total immersion for distributed teams.
LeafLabs understood deeply that while computers and the internet lie at the foundation of nearly every business, modern computing is fundamentally personal. What was needed was an interpersonal computer, a collaborative device that connects spaces and the people that work in them with the spontaneity and clarity of working together in person. Eco predated the COVID-19 pandemic and the widespread proliferation and adoption of remote working and video conferencing.
Users can easily create new sessions for sharing video between spaces and include temporary “visitors” who can listen and comment without the full video presence.
