THE APP Wear’ther is a mobile-based application concept developed by digital interaction design startup, TEAM INITIAL. The application generates mixed digital content of daily weather forecast and suitable clothing style suggestion for people to get fashion inspirations in the beginning of their daily routines. The APP has given the users the power to accumulate their favorite clothing image suggestions in the application library as a personal fashion scrapbook for future shopping reference. The stored images are also formatted to be shared on user’s social media account like Facebook for users to have chance to be awarded with shopping discounts when the posts reach a certain amount of hits on the Like Button.

COLLABORATION In order to bridge our APP users greater with our belief in fashion, we are looking forward to create an augmented service by collaborating with investors of high fashion department stores to produce fashion style variations and information and guide the users to purchase particular pieces they seen on the APP as a part of the inherent product experience.
Wear’ther is positioned as both a B2B and B2C business. Apart from providing fashion inspirations to consumers, we are dedicated ourselves in creating an evolving digital advertising platform for high fashion department stores on the B2B side to help them connect with consumers from an al- ternative channel aside from their own seasonal campaigns and shows.

BEHAVIOUR CHANGE "As behaviours are repeated in consistent settings they then begin to proceed more efficiently and with less thought as control of the behaviour transfers to cues in the environment that activate an automatic response - a habit."
Case study has been done by researchers about forming a new habit such as eating a piece of fruit with lunch or doing a 15 minute run each day. The result showed that the average time when the automaticity was reached was after 66 days.

An Educational Game for
E-WASTE RECYCLING
During the last decade, the technology industry has undergone tremendous changes. Automated products’ shortening life cycles increased the worldwide production of electrical and electronic equipment especially ICT products, making electronic waste one of the significant and fastest growing waste streams in the world. In the framework of electronic product life cycles, there are many methods to handle e-waste: prevention/maintain/service design, reuse, refurbish/ remanufacturing, recycle, energy recovery and disposal. Solutions can be overlaid one by one in the above order. Therefore, best outcome could be achieved when e-waste is dealt within the priority order. (as shown below) Desktop PC Laptop Tablet PC Smart phone Maintain 4 3 2 3 Reuse 2 3 3 2 Refurbish 1 1 2 2 Recycle 1 1 1 1 (1 to 4, easy to difficult) This educational game is aiming to help with building an understanding on what will be stakeholders’ roles and possible options for user in E-waste recycling.
