Wabi‑Sight: The Stone & Cloud Oracle

Description and use

Wabi‑Sight cuts screen time to under 15 seconds by providing a brief, AI‑generated meditation based on captured natural patterns, then encourages users to engage with their surroundings.

Problem

Screen‑centric outdoor apps keep users’ eyes glued to glowing glass, causing screen fatigue and preventing engagement with nature.

Outcome

The app reduces screen time to under 15 seconds, encourages users to engage with their surroundings, and preserves observations offline, achieving a 5‑minute nature‑focused experience after a brief interaction.

Workflow

• Spot a fleeting natural pattern (<5s).
• Snap a quick photo with the mobile camera (<10s).
• Model synthesis: TabPFN predicts optimal breathing cadence; Gemma 2 generates poetic metaphor and grounding command; ElevenLabs voices guidance.
• Screen dims to near‑black (#030604); phone placed face down, eyes closed, breathing guided until a Tibetan bowl chime signals completion.
• Observation, poetry, and badge saved to an offline field journal.

Evidence

They keep our eyes glued downward to a piece of glowing glass.

The Oracle extracts the pattern's geometry, crafts a poetic metaphor, and then deliberately commands you to turn your phone face down in the grass, close your eyes, and listen to the world around you.

The screen dims into an unhurried breathing circle matching your local circadian rhythm, accompanied by gentle voice guidance and a resonant Tibetan singing bowl chime that tells you when your meditation is complete.
