The UbiDuo is a small computer with two displays and two keyboards that enable hearing and deaf people to communicate by typing back and forth without a translator. The stand-alone communication device works like an instant messaging system between two people who are face-to-face. But internet connection is necessary. The wireless device is battery operated, allowing for more mobility. Its small size makes the UbiDuo portable.The product is from the combined efforts of a father and son team, David and Jason Curry. Jason (the son is deaf. Their company is called sComm which stands for simultaneous communications. Ubi is short for ubiquitous, meaning everywhere or being present everywhere. A reference to the mobility of the device.
