RealityBadge
Most breaks never happen.
RealityBadge is designed for those "trapped in the cubicle." When you sit for too long or the weather shifts, it doesn't give you a to-do list, but a specific invitation to leave your chair. It might ask you to look at a tree downstairs, reach for the sky on the balcony, or check a water meter in the corner. Upon completion, align your phone with the scene: the hand, the tree, the meter must appear together. The system then uses depth and parallax to mint this moment into a 3D badge, pinning it to your "Escaped the Cubicle" wall.
- Task system based on "leaving the chair," rewarding spatial displacement, not steps.
- Uses iOS depth & motion perception to turn fleeting escapes into collectible 3D badges.
- A stamp collection of moments, recording not tourist spots, but specific instants of escape.
Limo Smart Feeder
Most desk plants are background.
Limo turns a marimo (algae ball) from a decoration into a responsive living creature. Stand at your desk, raise a hand, or wave—the algae responds with light, subtle movements, and timeline updates in the App. The system acts as a slow emotional interface rather than "just another smart tank." Born from a hackathon prototype, it is now being refined into a crowdfunding-ready product for the home.
- Rewrites "watering" into a lightweight emotional ritual via touchless gestures.
- Light and slow motion become the marimo's "expressions," bringing its state to the desktop.
- The App records the history between you and this small sphere, like a diary for a plant.
W「N」ERE
A phone that refuses to stay in your pocket.
The back of a Nothing phone is already a performance; W「N」ERE simply performs one action: lifting it out. A 3D-printed case and fabric cable hang the phone on your chest, tilted slightly forward. A small on-device model peeks at your environment periodically, compressing those moments into a string of Emojis and Glyph light effects—not to "understand your life," but to compress the day's fragments into a scented trail in an extremely restrained way.
- Lets the transparent back actually stay in the air, not hidden in pockets or on desks.
- On-device model takes coarse "30-second glimpses," narrating the day via Emoji and light rhythms.
- A question: When the phone sees more than you, what should it say on your chest to remain intrusive?
Photonic Nose
Needles pierce the skin. Anxiety lingers.
Photonic Nose asks: What if a glucose test could be replaced by a single breath? It packs hollow-core photonic fibers and trace gas spectroscopy—technologies usually found in labs—into a desktop device with a "water bottle metaphor" and a widget-first health interface. Designed specifically for pregnant women who are highly sensitive to needles but require long-term monitoring, providing a "trend-level" breathing solution.
- Uses Hollow-Core Photonic Fiber to detect biomarkers like acetone, swapping pain for a breath.
- Aiming not for a "diagnostic value," but a readable daily trend curve.
- Disguises a precise optical system as a daily object through de-medicalized design.
DreamEcho
Most dreams fade. Some matter.
DreamEcho posits: If dreams were preserved as assets, what would change? It invites you to record dreams in the first person, using AI to extract emotions and symbols, generating a unique 3D "dream object." This object shuttles between your phone, Vision Pro, and 3D printed reality. Using NFC and blockchain, it adds a layer of "digital ownership," ensuring this experience retains a certificate of existence even after the App disappears.
- Transforms dreams from "weird stories" into transferable, giftable emotional entities.
- Through 3D printing and NFC, a private nightscape can be held in hand or awakened by others.
- NFTs are not for hype, but to provide platform-independent proof of "I own this experience."
Melink
Meetings end. The fog stays.
Melink wants to turn a spoken sentence into a clear bullet point on everyone's phone within seconds. Small hardware on the table listens quietly, while the cloud transcribes and distills in real-time. Attendees simply scan a code to get a meeting summary tailored to their perspective, rather than a full recording 2 hours later. During open testing at a hackathon, 90% of people rushed the system, crashing the temporary server—its first and most intuitive "usability test."
- Moves "post-meeting organization" to "during-meeting," reducing the fog of forgetting.
- Minimal interface and fixed entry let AI recede to the background, appearing only when needed.
- Continuing as a short-term product experiment to test usage frequency in real teams.
Silver Ant
Robots amongst us.
Silver Ant is not a robot for service, but a species that preserves tactile language after the apocalypse. Set in a distant future where humans have spent centuries in the virtual world, forgetting how to touch. Silver Ant appears as a mechanized colony beacon, wrapped in wires and sensors. Through distinct tactile feedback for day and night, it reteaches humans: where is a greeting, where is a pause, and where distance must be kept.
- Daytime: Brief touches translate into clear, gentle movements and light—reformatting social boundaries.
- Nighttime: The system amplifies silence; excess touch is "rejected," respecting rest.
- A More-Than-Human metaphor: perhaps non-human life will help us remember how to be with the world.
