Divid, a smart speaker with a folding display that presents a perfect use-case for flexible display units.

Divid isn’t your average smart speaker that plays music or tells you the weather. It’s a hybrid IoT device capable of a bunch of things.

The display can either open flat, or fold backwards, wrapping around the Toblerone to give you a two-part screen that faces both front & back… & the implications for this are incredible.

Divid makes for a great unit to have at a concierge desk, a retail setup, at a meeting table, or even mounted on walls as a way-finding device.

The screen folds open when you need something singular, & folds over to face the person opposite you when you need them to look at data like statistics, notes, cards, previews, invoice details, booking details, or even payment confirmations.

It would probably work well at home too, displaying different information on both halves of the screen like allowing kids to watch different shows while facing each other at the dinner table!

The Divid is still a conceptual device, it does something that smartphones haven’t been able to do – highlight the usefulness of a folding display by putting it to actual good use.
