All I can say is, this is a creative product. It combined the old-style Cuckoo Clock with the high-tech voice messaging system. Dubbed “Cuckoo IP”, it works like an answering machine. It can be dialled, either from mobile or landline phone, and one can leave a voice message there. After that, they can select what time they want that message to be delivered. Now here comes the cool part. At that arranged time, the cuckoo will emerge from the clock and broadcast your message. Pretty cute isn’t it?

Technically, each cuckoo clock is assigned with a specific number / ID. The device inside the clock then uses networking protocols to communicate with a server and every minute, it’d check whether there’s any message for that ID and current time-slot. If found, it’d request the sound file and broadcast it.

The Cuckoo IP is created by Tobie Kerridge.
