Handsfree device DUAL, a collaboration between Enustech and a product designer Joongho Choi, is a project for the global company, Jabra, well known as a manufacturer of Bluetooth technology, handsfree devices and mobile phone headset. DUAL was targeted to provide more direct and visualized interface than existing handsfree devices.

Joongho Choi links the familiar look of analog audio speaker to handsfree device.
It maximizes dual speakers and a voice dialing function visually, and directly-recognizable buttons offers easy approaches of users.

Its own rechargeable battery emphasized its uni-body structure and it can be synchronized with smart phone applications, such as navigation apps.

designers' own words:
the target user of the 'total recall agent' seed, is someone who wants to memorize previous experiences, particularly in the case of travelers who want to hold onto vivid memories about their experiences and show them to close friends and family.

the device acts as a 'travel agent' in the shape of a flying balloon that records one's activities while on vacation, using computer technology to share these travel experiences with others. the 'seed' focuses on the way of recording and sharing precious memories as vivid as possible. its services provide three values: sharing, remembering and guiding.
