About

A video sharing platform for grandparents and grandchildren

Telegran is a private video-sharing platform for grandparents and grandchildren. By sharing skills, stories and knowledge through videos, this project makes communication between grandparents and grandchildren more comfortable and more often. Telegran consists of two items: a photo frame and a pair of glasses both enabling simple and more detailed recording. Telegran strives to provide a new communication platform without demanding any changes to its participants’ usual behaviours.
