Aperture, unveiled by design studio Special Projects, fuses AI, physical design, and digital wellbeing to promote more intentional technology use. By transforming a smartphone case to restrict screen access with a small viewing window—an action that necessitates mindfulness—Aperture enhances user engagement. This innovative approach also adapts the phone's interface for various scenarios, promoting focused interactions. The initiative reflects a commitment to reimagining everyday objects for enriching digital experiences, as evidenced by Special Projects' prior collaborations with tech giants like Google and Samsung.
An experimental concept that blends AI, physical design, and digital wellbeing to encourage more mindful tech use-not by adding new devices, but by reimagining the ones we already have.
This physical action, which requires just enough effort to make it intentional, combines with intelligent interface adaptation to create more mindful interactions.
Aperture shows how simple physical interventions combined with intelligent interfaces can create more meaningful digital experiences.
The future of design and AI might not lie in creating more things, but in revealing new possibilities in the things we already have.
