ZenRelief: Relaxing iWatch Games: Stress & Anxiety Relief Simulator on Apple Watch.

I'm Jimmi Yang, the founder, and CEO of ANTI Studio, who developed the new Apple Watch App - ZenRelief: Relaxing iWatch Games(after this referred to as "ZenRelif"). Our company upholds the motto of "Fun, Commercial, Artistic, Innocent", signifying our unwavering dedication to developing engaging and playful applications. Furthermore, these apps should possess commercial viability while staying true to our original design ideas. Since the company's inception, we have consistently harbored a grand vision of designing and crafting a groundbreaking app for new devices like AR/VR/XR or smartwatches. However, we are well aware that such an endeavor is exceedingly challenging, requiring substantial financial resources, manpower, and effort. Hence, we believe that in order to complete the ultimate app - let us call it X- it has important to break it down into component modules or parts such as Xa, Xb, Xc, and so on. Then we split these all unit modules into separate apps or products. For instance, product A would encompass the primary gameplay, functions, or modules of Xa, while product B would focus primarily on implementing Xb. Likewise, product C would include an element with Xc and be launched online to gauge user reception. It is like putting all blocks together and creating a giant Lego, we break an ultimate Lego X into its key components, assemble them in turn, and if any aspect fails to resonate with users, we discard it, redesign, validate, and replace it accordingly. Thus, ZenRelif represents the first milestone in our pursuit of the ultimate objective. Given our lack of prior experience in developing smartwatch apps, we recognized the substantial global shipments of smartwatches and the continuous growth of this emerging market. Moreover, the current smartwatch app in the market appeared somewhat mediocre, presenting us with the perfect opportunity to create something interesting, enjoyable, playful and that aligned with the user's preference or demands in this sector. We decided to focus on the Apple Watch app market, for now, to validate ideas and gather user feedback, while also considering porting the product to the Android Watch app market. Regarding the initial design of this product, we noticed the current unfavorable macroeconomic conditions and the high unemployment rate among the youth generation. These factors give rise to various troubles. While there have been previous launches of products such as electronic wooden fish and electronic Buddhist beads, we recognized an opportunity to consolidate these functionalities into a single product, users would only need to use our product. At the same time, we also thoroughly considered users' scenarios, such desire to use the electronic Buddhist beads while striking the electronic wooden fish. To address this, we developed a mobile application version that enables the automated striking of electronic wooden fish and electronic Buddhist beads. We believe that this aligns well with the users' needs in a way that distinguishes it from any other standalone product. In conclusion, our product can be used on both the smartphone and smartwatch, simultaneously providing convenience and versatility. In addition to this, we identified a lack of richness in the product and thus proceeded to develop several functional modules: Bubble Wrap: We found that young people today have a predilection for engaging with soothing toys that aid in stress relief. A common example is the act of squeezing bubble wrap, which many people, including myself, find enjoyable after receiving a package. Taking this into consideration, we integrated this feature into our product. Minesweeping: This is a grid that possessed a minimum dimension of 2 by 2 and a maximum dimension of 6 by 6. Within it resides a mine. The conception behind its design stems from our team members often ordering takeaways, but deciding who pick up the food has become a common nagging dilemma in our daily life. Thus, this feature was ingeniously crafted to address this common conundrum in everyday life. Each participant has the opportunity to make a single press, and the person who triggers the "bomb" assumes the responsibility of picking up the food. This creation serves as a thoughtless decision-making tool for mundane events. Fortune Cookies and Scratchers: Our team occasionally visits the mall near our office for dinner, and we have noticed a discernable increase in the number of lottery scratch-off stores in the mall. Sometimes, our entire team engages in the scratching-off lottery tickets, hoping to strike it lucky. We often joked that a big win would provide us with sufficient funds for us to start up(laughs helplessly). This led us to recognize the allure and charm of uncovering the unknown. I believe that many people have the experience of opening a Fortune Cookie after dining at a Chinese restaurant. So we found a lot of golden quotes from famous literature and put them in scratchers and fortune cookies. We envisioned these offerings as a source of solace for people who may be feeling down or going through a rough patch. Simply scratching a card or opening a small cookie holds the hope that the words contained within will bring some measure of comfort to people's lives.
