1: About the Design

1) The use of Colour in "Time Traveller" adopts the theory of colour psychology.
BLUE symbolises: relaxation, peaceful, tranquil, trustworthy, and loyalty.
RED symbolises: passion, energy, confident, courage, and power.
Yellow symbolises: hope, happiness, optimism, sunny, joy, and innovation.

2) The Highlight of the design
It has a camera lens in the shape of a hexagon, if you imagine the world to be balance, everyone has equal chances, it should work like hexagon - the shape that best fills a plane with equal size units and leaves no wasted space. 

For the world to be full of Love, Sincerity, Harmony, Equality, Conjoining, Reliability, Dependability and Communication.

2) Source of inspiration 
It is an inspired, upgraded version of Instax polaroid camera from Fujifilm back in the 2020s. This camera has a vintage-looking appearance that reminisces the nostalgia design in 2020 even in the year of 2070, where printed films might not even be a trend anymore. 

It encourages lesser use of technology (polariod printed film), but relatively more advanced use of technology (facial recognition, projected screen). 

3) The design values and intended impacts
Innovation demands high standards of ability, talents and knowledge. 
We should develop a holistic understanding of a problem before designing for good, for preferable human experience and for peaceful environmental surroundings. 
Ethics should always be a priority, for a harmonised community.

In this post pandemic world,
This design piece aims to promote the thinking of how everyone should portray the basic human rights and live along well with respect and dignity. It wishes to challenge the society on how the extend of best use of humanitarian values can change the world positively from the.

People are necessarily dependent on each other in different ways depending on one another, that is something impossible to preclude, and it becames even more crucial after the social isolation derived from Covid-19. All of us need to be collectively agreed upon, unite together to make a mutual world for a happy planet.

Figure 4: Invisible projected screen function 
It allows the display of information that details about every single object that goes into the lens of the camera, it can either be a scenery, a building, a place, a person, or even the tiny stuffs like a small butterfly.
