Hardware Design - Reactive Colour Gradient
The first was a hardware concept inspired by butterfly wings — that interesting colour gradient you get when light catches the surface at different angles. A static render felt wrong for it, so I built a real-time configurator app — allow user to rotate the device, change the lighting, swap environments, see how the gradient actually behaves. The design wasn't an image. It was something you could play with.
Software Design - Dynamic Wallpaper
my second submission was a dynamic wallpaper I prototyped in Unreal Engine — glowing jellyfish drifting underwater to match the concept of glowing in the dark hardware design.
I posted it in the community and people started asking when it would ship. Getting that 3D dynamic wallpaper into a real Nothing product will the first thing I want to ship at Nothing.
