SkalaDesign

Ventures · Products in development

We build our own products—not only advise other teams.

ONU and Sira keep SkalaDesign close to hardware constraints, technical choices, user feedback, and the commercial decisions involved in moving a product forward.

Evidence that we work through the realities of building.

Working prototype

Can multilingual frontline teams communicate naturally without giving up privacy?

The product

ONU is a wearable translator designed for natural, real-time conversations without phones, screens, Wi-Fi, or cloud processing. It is being shaped for care, manufacturing and logistics, public services, and NGOs.

The value

Because translation happens on the device, frontline teams can communicate when internet access is unreliable, conversations must remain private, or looking at a screen gets in the way of the work.

Current evidenceWorking prototype · Tested with users · Early customer interest · Preparing for pilot partnerships

What this demonstrates: product direction, industrial design, electronics development, on-device AI, interaction design, and hardware-production planning.
