The design philosophy of Ambient Intelligence incorporates the golden ratio - Fibonacci to promote contentment and facilitate easy living.

5. Mutually adjusted core principles: balance, alignment, hierarchy, harmony…
Design Challenge: The creative challenges and the obstacles are that we not only balance the production feasibility and the technology but also ensure the aesthetics. Furthermore, each user has a different standard regarding aesthetics. This is a real challenge for us to develop a camera that can fit users' tastes. We have spent around 5.000 hours to work from idea, sketch, mockup and do EVT, DVT to final product. For software, we use AI technology and cloud computing to get the best features and best customer experience. Moreover, we use Ambient designs which we think will meet the current modern lifestyle trend.
Beside, we also use a safety material for the housing – ABS plastic.
