We've seen everything from smart glasses overlaying data on our every viewpoint, to smartphones' boasting apps blending the digital with physical realms. Yet, many of these solutions seem out of place when it comes to outdoor scenarios. AR glasses, creates a perpetual digital interface that distances us from the nature. And smartphones?

Since the lockdown, I picked up a new hobby of experimenting with Ceramic Glazes. 🧪🔥
Each time I fire a piece, it's always a surprise to see the final texture that varies depending on the firing temperature and ingredient ratios. So I've been taking lots of photos and notes with an expectation to see my knowledge grow over time and to create a library of glaze recipes for future reference. But after a while, my motivation to keep track of these experiments was dying out.
* Too many tools were involved - paper notes/ photos/ web links are scattered everywhere.
* High effort to archive and organize fragmented records.
* Lack of quick and delightful reviewing experience.
We adopted a rounded shape for lens based on practical ergonomics of handheld devices.
In contrast to square, which can often feel delicate and requires a pinching gesture due to their corners, the lens's rounded form factor naturally fits curvature of human palms. This allows you to grasp the device confidently with your entire hand, ensuring a firm and comfortable grip.
It's especially crucial in outdoor scenarios, where stability is key, and where conditions might be less predictable.
This capacitive haptic button caters to accommodate various scenarios, from quick switches to more nuanced gestures. It's also integrated with a haptic motor, to reduce cognitive load where your attention to surroundings is paramount.
