Circa
An ambient timekeeper that shifts your schedule gently through sound, touch, and character.
Circa is a soft, companion-scale alarm system designed to shift the experience of daily time management away from screens and back into the body. Instead of rigid notifications, Circa uses gentle sound cues, touch-based interactions, and subtle behavioral learning to adapt to a user’s changing routines. Through simple gestures—double-taps, swipes, and presses—the user shapes Circa’s behavior directly, while the device gradually adjusts wake-up times, reminders, and emotional expressions through its eyes. Circa sits at the intersection of physical computing, sensory design, and behavioral intelligence, exploring how small, characterful objects can support healthier, more human-daily rhythms.
