It is a [portable projection system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/samsung-freestyle1) that can be integrated into a window structure. This allows it to function automatically. It is described by co-designer Ko as “a living product that proposes a new lifestyle experience of ‘separate and together’ for single-person households living in a single room, based on the concept of ‘furnitureization of appliances." To function, the system integrates the projector unit into the [curtain shade](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aria-concept) which hides the technology discreetly. The central unit secures into a wall frame mounted using magnets and then slides automatically to the right or left side depending on the program.
