Introducing TOBI, a compact electronic device that transforms the experience of fortune-telling into a portable accessory. Designed by YuJung Jung, this keyring-sized gadget offers a whimsical twist on traditional horoscopes and tarot readings, delivering random one-line fortunes at the push of a button.
TOBI's unique design emphasizes simplicity and intimacy; it aptly functions as a 'cyber friend,' merging the essence of a digital tool with that of a charming companion. Crafted from matte-coated polycarbonate, the device is available in vibrant green and blue, perfectly sized to accompany your keys or bags without demanding extra space.
To use TOBI, simply hold the button on the upper right for two seconds to power it up, and the device will greet you before offering your first fortune. A single press of the button provides a new message, allowing for a brief but meaningful interaction that's both engaging and finite—a refreshing change from the endless scroll of apps on smartphones.
With dimensions of 58 by 47 by 25 millimeters, TOBI captures the essence of modern fortune-telling, making it accessible wherever you go. It invites users to embrace a moment of chance and reflection, turning the act of seeking guidance into a delightful experience.
