A Gen-AI embedded device that simulates communication between
humans and nature, enabling emotional interaction with our living ecosystem.
Generative AI differs from traditional AI. While conventional AI analyzes data to provide
answers based on existing information, Gen AI understands patterns and creates new values.
Gen AI?
The integration of Generative AI and physical products creates a new category of user experiences,
one that goes beyond touch and interaction in conventional industrial design.
New User Experience!
In this project, envisioning Generative AI as a bridge, connecting humans
and the ecosystem, reimagining an environmental problem, a classic issue, through a new kind of experience.
What if?
"What if we can talk to our ecosystem, our forest, our park?"
Genome transforms forest data into dialogue. operates from the hardware level,
detecting and collecting biological data from trees and the surrounding environment.
Generative AI then interprets this data to create a conversational experience,
as if the forest itself were personified, sharing its own story with the user.
Genome transforms forest data into dialogue.
Each ecosystem takes on its own
personality, shaped by its unique
characteristics, where it exists, how long
it has evolved, and what lives within it.
Ecosystem as Character
Through Generative AI,
these ecosystems become
conversational characters
that users can interact with.
Conversational Interaction
Using real bio-data collected
from hardware sensors, the AI
transforms scientific information
into witty, human-like dialogue.
Data to Create
The most frequent activities within
each environment become its “hobbies.”
For example, if a forest is full of birds,
its hobby might be bird-watching.
Playful Interaction
Beyond playful conversations, the system
also delivers real-time bio-data, information
that might seem complex, but is now
easy to understand even for non-experts.
Easier Bio Data
GENOME opens unlimited opportunities
to learn about our ecosystem and appreciate
its value, offering an engaging and educational experience for everyone. 🌿
Positive Potential
Genome hardware is designed to detect the bio-data from the tree.
where can the most abundant information about the ecosystem be collected?

Hardware
The top surface is made with
a solar energy panel, enabling
independent operation.
The Acoustic Swensor captures,
allowing users to hear real-time audio
and abundant information.
The detector operates in both
soil and air. A stopper is used for
the stable soil installation.

The green light functions as a while the small light
serves as a night-time notification indicator.
A physical mock-up with a crafted wooden base and sprayed finish
was built to explore the scale, proportion, and usability of the product.
