Data Pad

The Data Pad is a handheld data terminal developed by Star Helix Inc. It was first introduced in 1990 and has since become a popular device for both civilians and military personnel. One of its main features is the ability to record video messages and make live video calls, allowing for effective person-to-person communication. In addition to its communication capabilities, the Data Pad also functions as a personal data manager, remote control device, and door access key. It is credited as being the cheapest and most energy efficient data access device developed by the Caniic. The device is powered by a single photon battery chip, inserted in a slot at the top of the pad.
Visually, the Data Pad is designed as a solid rectangular device, constructed with a glossy plastic or polycarbonate material and features a glass display screen. Its user experience is tailored to be intuitive and convenient, incorporating touch, proximal motion, and gesture detection for easier navigation and operation. Furthermore, the Data Pad is equipped with wireless capabilities, allowing it to operate on both public and private communication networks. The communication protocols and security protocols on the device and the networks are designed to be unobtrusive, ensuring the privacy and confidentiality of the users' data.
