Hearth
originally “Video call Tablet without touch”
Picture this. Grandma's on the couch, the tablet's ringing, and she's poking at the screen trying to find the green button. Or your three-year-old wants to say hi to Papa and just can't make it work. The call goes to nobody. That's the gap. So here's the idea: Hearth. It's a video-call tablet with no button to find and nothing to swipe. When family calls, it just answers. The screen lights up, Grandma's face is right there, and the kid waves before anyone's hunting for a passcode. No touching, no fumbling, no tech-support call afterward. You set up the family circle once. After that, it's a window into the people you love. We're not trying to be everything. It's one thing, done so simply a four-year-old and a ninety-year-old both get it on day one. And in West Michigan, where half of us have family a couple counties over, that window matters. Hearth. Calls that just connect.
For grandparents who can't work the apps: video calls that simply appear — no taps, no passwords, no tech support calls.
