VELDT SERENDIPITY
While at first glance this appears to be a chic analog wristwatch, it is in fact a smartwatch that intuitively displays information through light and vibration.

Paper Fortune Teller / Geometric Circuit
Paper Fortune Teller is a paper circuit made with silver nano ink. The electrical circuit is printed on a flat surface and made three-dimensional by folding it in the style of traditional Japanese origami. The movable folds touch, the circuit connects and the paper fortune teller lights up. Geometric Circuit is a practice model using the same technology for the foundational circuitry and structure. The design was developed in partnership with MTDO.
