we.are world clock
we.are is a personal and ownable world clock for two individuals in different time zones. Living in this globalized world, I find that we constantly try to calculate what time it is for the other side of the world when we plan to make a phone call. I designed to make the time-finding experience enjoyable and unique by celebrating the tactile, analog, haptic interaction of a physical clock. With we.are, I hope users feel still connected, although their physical distance is far away.

BACKGROUND
We are living in a different time zone.
When I wake up, you go to bed.
When is a good time to call you?
OPPORTUNITY
The existing solution is ugly, confusing, and not enjoyable.
Imagine talking with your friend in another time zone and trying to find a good time to call next time, and you are going through the website, looking at this screen, and typing this every time.
INSPIRATION
Celebrate tactile, analog, and haptic interaction.
In this digital age, let us not forget the beauty and power of things we can touch, for it's these physical objects we collect, that make our memories and experiences so much.

PROCESS
Concept Development
I used Photoshop to quickly visualize and communicate what’s in my head with materials, displays in mind.
Interface Variations
These are some of the variations that I explored for the interface. I am trying to find the right balance between texts and grphics.
