PROJECT NAME
GLASSWING
DATE
April – May 2025
PROJECT TYPE
3D Animation
DESCRIPTION
Taking the form of a speculative 3D animation created in Blender, GLASSWING functions as a fictional advertisement exploring the intersection of biomimicry and wearable technology. The project highlights how nature inspires ecologically responsible materials and new paradigms for everyday human-machine interactions. The video showcases a conceptual model of smart glasses whose lenses draw from the microscopic photonic structures of the Morpho menelaus butterfly to organically reduce glare, applying a biological mechanism that already influences modern smartphone screen protectors. The design utilizes adaptive camouflage strategies derived from the Saturnia pyri moth, allowing the fictional interface to blend into its environment at night.
