Phone like Device for Picnic

This idea is to propose the mobile communication device that enables the dialog between two groups in outdoors settings. It has the mic, speaker, camera and the display. The display looks like a round shaped rug which can be rolled for easy transportation and works as a reflective surface of the well. The round shape is for inviting the people into the dialog equally, and by looking into the display, the conversational counterpart can be seen. For example, friends in Boston and LA can go to a picnic and have a chat together in a laid back posture, sitting on the grass, sharing the vision of their faces and the sceneries, although the picnics happen separately in a physical sense. It can also be installed in public space in order to facilitate the dialog among neighbors.
