WooJin Shin, Nahyun Kwon, JiHoon Park, and Seungmin Hong design the new SEGA-DBS. It is a portable gaming device that is small enough to fit into one's pocket. It also functions as a digital calendar as a means to encourage users to reduce their time on their smartphones.
The console embodies a retro design language and nods to the era of pixelated arcade gaming aesthetics. By doing this, the calendar notifications are also much more playful and fresh. The gadget acts as a small organization that also has the option to play iconic games including Sonic dash run. Only three titles will be pre-loaded into the game device to keep it minimal and decluttered overall.
