LeapVox: Revitalizing the Videophone for the Modern Office

A Multi-functional and Stylish Communication Solution

As a protest of old and chunky office phones with small displays, Vox aims to provide a high tech digital device with a smooth conferencing experience.

Voxporta Inc., in collaboration with designer Hakan Gürsu and the Designnobis team, has introduced LeapVox, a videophone that aims to revitalize the stationary phone as a multi-functional and stylish office equipment. Designed primarily for senior managers and top executives, LeapVox integrates voice and video communications into one sleek center, combining elegant design with cutting-edge technology.

The videophone is available in two models, featuring 8” and 10” touchscreen LCDs, respectively. This allows users to enjoy a seamless conferencing experience with high-quality visuals and intuitive controls. The touchscreen interface provides easy access to various communication features, including voice calls, video calls, email, web browsing, fax, and video conferencing. LeapVox truly brings together everyday communication needs in one sophisticated device.

LeapVox's design is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. Its sleek and modern appearance adds a touch of sophistication to any office environment. The use of high-quality materials and precise craftsmanship ensures durability and longevity.

The videophone is made using a combination of plastic injection molding and CNC machining techniques. This allows for precise manufacturing and ensures that each unit meets the highest standards of quality. With dimensions of 260 mm x 150 mm x 190 mm, LeapVox is compact enough to fit seamlessly into any office space.

One of the standout features of LeapVox is its Bluetooth handset option. This traditional handset provides a sense of familiarity while still allowing users to take advantage of the videophone's advanced features. The handset is controlled through a magnetic connection, ensuring a secure and seamless user experience.

The LeapVox project started in August 2014 in Ankara and was completed in 2015. Throughout the design process, extensive research was conducted to understand the communication needs of modern offices. Voxporta aimed to create a platform that brings together various communication channels, making everyday tasks more efficient and streamlined.

Developing LeapVox was not without its challenges. The Designnobis team overcame creative, technical, and research obstacles to create a videophone that seamlessly integrates voice and video communications. The result is a product that allows users to make video and phone calls with ease, enhancing productivity and collaboration in the workplace.

LeapVox has received recognition for its innovative design. It was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Digital and Electronic Device Design category in 2016. This prestigious award acknowledges the creativity and resourcefulness of LeapVox, which incorporates best practices in art, science, design, and technology. The videophone's strong technical and creative skills contribute to quality of life improvements, making it a valuable addition to any modern office.

LeapVox is a testament to the power of design in transforming everyday objects into functional and stylish solutions. With its sleek design, advanced features, and seamless user experience, LeapVox is set to revolutionize communication in the modern office.
