Do you find yourself stuck on endless video conference calls these
days? Looking for an excuse to tune out? Blame it on your crappy
internet connection

Displays a fake loading circle so you can pretend your screen is
Perfect for escaping Zoom and other types of online meetings
There’s nothing quite worse than being stuck and feeling bored in
one of those online meetings. You’ve definitely been in at least
one of the following situations:
Being stuck in a never-ending work video conference/meeting.
Trying to stay/look awake during a dull online lecture/lesson.
Having to explain video calls to a family member/relative who
doesn’t quite understand how it works, keeps asking you
billions of questions, and shouts “Can you hear me? Hello,
HELLO?” because they think you won’t be able to hear them
otherwise.
You agreed to participate in an air nomikai (online drinking
party), only to find that your friend/colleague has had a
little too much to drink and won’t stop going on about their
ex. (Move on already!)
In these scenarios, all you wish for is a magic escape button to
quickly get you out of the video call before you completely lose
it. Well, you won’t have to think “If only…” for much longer!
You will now be able to exit those dreaded video chats with the
Loading Circle Online Meeting Emergency Escape Machine. This
excellent little invention designed by Marina Fujiwara fakes a
frozen screen so you can leave without hurting, embarrassing, or
offending the other person/people in the video chat.
How It Works?
From the brain of Japanese inventor
Marina Fujiwara, the escape machine is a real life prop that looks identical to
the loading circle that appears in the middle of a person’s screen
when their video chat freezes. Place it in front of your computer
screen, flip a switch on the machine’s base and the loading circle
will pop out, giving others online the impression your computer
has frozen.
Of course, the product will only work if you pretend to be frozen
too, meaning its success requires a bit of acting on the user’s
part.
