Nintendo’s Light Telephone was released in 1971 and used visible light to transport sound. The sound picked up by the microphone of the Light Telephone is coded into the transmitted light, decoded again by the receiving party’s Light Telephone using a solar cell, and played over the headphones. This creates a two-way walkie talkie without using radio waves. Walkie-talkies based on radio waves can be used night and day, through walls and around corners, the Light Telephone required the two people communicating to be directly facing each other. Probably within speaking distance!

Nintendo must have been pretty desperate to release this, as it’s really an adult toy … as the cost was ¥9,800 at the time!
