Abstract: A “Visible Storage and Object Retrieval” (ViSOR) system provides a modular system for concurrently organizing, storing, protecting and viewing objects stored within various containers (referred to herein as “windowed storage devices”) having a fully or partially transparent or translucent window that enables a user to view container contents without needing to open that container. These windowed storage devices are further configured to interface with a wide variety of interchangeable storage devices and systems while preventing tangling, knotting, destruction, breakage, interweaving, etc., of objects contained therein. More specifically, each windowed storage device is removably couplable to a plurality of storage modalities, either directly, or via an intermediary connector that itself is configured to be removably coupled to any of the storage modalities. These intermediary connectors enable windowed storage devices to be transferred between a variety of storage modalities.
