MODEM is an office for design and innovation. Among their initiatives there is TERRA, an innovative companion designed for mindful wandering, blending AI technology with the principles of mindfulness to enhance outdoor explorations. This pocket-sized device transforms how users interact with their environment by suggesting personalized trails based on user input such as available time and specific location. Its interface eschews digital distractions, opting for a simple compass and tactile feedback to guide users through their journeys. TERRA is also open-source, allowing enthusiasts to build their own device by downloading software and assembling parts from 3D-printed designs. It’s an ideal tool for those seeking to disconnect from their phones and engage with the world through a new, mindful approach to wandering.
