Pressure Project: Analog Laptop Extension

A laptop has become a mother ship of an ever expanding range of physical devices that address increasingly personal matters together with the purely functional office or workplace situations. These devices, together with their software, are nevertheless often designed without much consideration of the physicality of the laptop and its usage situation. The computer is an abstract source of energy, computation and screenspace to many such devices. The challege of this short project was to rethink the laptop as a physical object with extended functionality, and cherish these qualities in a novel and refreshing way.
