German firm creates SOOOT Box device controlled by paper punch cards
Three-2-one GmbH, a company based in Krefeld, Germany, has developed the SOOOT Box, a device that runs on paper punch cards instead of a touchscreen, voice control or a smartphone app.
Three-2-one GmbH, a company from the German city of Krefeld, has presented a consumer electronics device called the SOOOT Box, which is controlled with paper punch cards. The project aims to show that computers and smart devices do not always need touchscreens, voice control or smartphone apps.
How it differs from usual devices
The SOOOT Box is a simple black box. Its operation is determined by punch cards that the company calls "SOOOT Cards". Control therefore relies on physical cards rather than on the digital interface elements common in today's smart devices.
The available source text is only a fragment and does not fully describe the cards' properties or the device's functions, so further details, including what exactly the device does and its price, are not known at this point.
