Design Details

Unique Properties
The Genie S is a home security camera, it is committed to focus on product functions to differentiate itself from competitors. By shaping with geometrical forms, current working state can be presented through directional and deformation abilities. All-new Open Box design offers you fascinating interactive.it is the first ever GPT-enabled camera, featuring full-screen, vertical orientation, and 2K image quality. seamlessly Integrated, the smallest dual-axis camera to date.
Inspiration
It is designed in homage to the Bauhaus and we emphasize more on the functional and practical abilities. Without complicated design, we use simple, clear geometrical forms to shape the body of the product, hoping it can perfectly serve the functions. We differentiate our product from competitors by innovating transformable design. The current working state can be easily checked due to the directional and deformation abilities, providing uses all-new experience.
Research
Competitive product analysis, Conduct desk research on similar products in the current market, including analysis of functions, features, forms and costs, to find innovation opportunities and directions. The concrete design of the brand concept uses the overall shape, curves,surfaces and detailed features to sort out a unique form of expression and form a unique design language. Computer-aided completion of three-dimensional surface modeling, simulation and component stacking of products. In order to meet the product form, self-developed camera modules include optical design, device selection, electronic material patching, etc.
Challenge
Psync's goal is to create personalized experiences and change the way people interact with technology. Genie S should have a vivid personality and be a safe and reliable companion in people's lives. Psync hopes to provide users with a unique experience.
