Final Design

Where your walls become a living, responsive interface

Prototypes

Nest Beam projector

With Nest Beam, your wall becomes an adaptive dashboard. Weather, schedules, emails, and daily goals are projected into empty spaces, giving you the right information at a glance. The system continuously scans its environment, so when furniture or other objects change position, the interface automatically reconfigures its layout to remain clear, accessible, and unobstructed.

Control your wall display with a simple, horizontal mobile UI

The Nest Beam app lets you easily manage widgets and layouts while facing your wall display. Designed with a horizontal interface, the app mirrors the projection view, making it intuitive to customize widgets, adjust their size, and automate layouts directly in context.

Add widgets

Customize your layout by adding widgets in various sizes, arranged just the way you want

Flexible widget layout

Create your own layout by resizing and arranging widgets to fit your space and preferences.

Automation

The UI layout automatically adjusts based on the time of day, transforming seamlessly between day and night modes.

Reflection

Through cross-disciplinary collaboration and rapid iteration, we transformed challenges into opportunities and built a system that makes recycling both intuitive and motivating.
