*ZenMode

I was responsible for researching the digital detox and came up with concepts and themes for the ZenMode 2.0. I proposed the ocean and universe theme. It was later further developed by another team into the ZenMode 2.0.

Problem

ZenMode is an app that helps you focus on important tasks by making you put down the phone. Once started, it can’t be canceled, and incoming notifications will be temporarily muted. You can only receive calls and make use of emergency calls. It blocks all the applications of your smartphone except the camera. Our motto: ‘Zen Mode means dedicating time for yourself.’
We need to come up with a metaphor/ game mechanism for users to feel a sense of accomplishment after using the app.

Inspiration

Solution

Diving/Space Traveling
Diving and space traveling are both the experience of zooming in and out, the experience of looking at our world from another perspective. This is related to focusing because we need to concentrate enough to escape our mandane lives and feel the world from other perspectives.
