"In the distant future, the sun's fusion will decrease, causing eternal night on Earth. Are we really planning to construct a steel artificial sun? Or, we seek solutions from nature, utilizing nature's resources and creations to adapt to and even enjoy living in the dark." This is a feasible speculative design. Aim to utilize the bioluminescent blue light to help people in the far future adapt to the dark world without sun but eternal night. I want people to be aware of and discover biological and environmental resources. I believe that in the future, the answers to many questions will be found in nature and its inhabitants. The success of this project will hopefully influence later designs.

Bioluminescent wearable-a wearable device to overcome the SAD symptom

This is a feasible speculative design. The overall concept is to utilize the bioluminescent blue light to help people in the far future overcome seasonal affective disorder And adapt to the future dark world without sun but the eternal night.
This design aims to promote the idea that human development will be nature-oriented. The design incorporates biotechnology (T3 viral luminescence) and an organic shaping method to represent nature.

Product in Use - Designed for Empowerment

Using resin 3D printing and multiple spray paints to achieve color effects in the design, the model showed excellent fit during international wear testing and dynamic ergonomics.

Dynamic flashing detail-Using GIF to demonstrate how to flash

The backlight flashing is a breathing lamp that mimics a human heartbeat, which is designed to communicate with people in the dark with the frequency and duration of the flash. In the design folio, the flashing and luminous length of the lights are made regarding the rhythm of different classic music to express five different moods.

The bacteria blue light-Further modeling

In order to better show the concept of Bacteria Luminescent liquid, a product section structure is printed using transparent resin material. Blue soft luminescent lamps and starch liquid are placed inside to simulate the luminous liquid better.

Context rendering-A rendering of a scene with Chinese elements

A lot of product scene rendering is also done in the design folio. This design will be placed at the head of the bed or on the table. This is a rendering of a scene with Chinese elements.
