Insight Orb
A Desktop Reflection Sphere
It’s easy to fall into routine thinking, at work, in study groups, or during family meals. We need a simple object to shift our perspective.
Components & Design:
- The Sphere:
- Reflective and clear finish, kind of like a crystal ball, divided into four color‑coded spiral bands that inspire different moods.
- Blue
- Green
- Red
- Yellow
- Reflective and clear finish, kind of like a crystal ball, divided into four color‑coded spiral bands that inspire different moods.
- The Gimbal Stand:
- Two rings hold the sphere so it tilts and rotates freely.
- A small fixed frame on the inner ring highlights exactly one prompt at a time with a magnifying glass into the sphere.
- Prompts:
- The prompts are permanently etched into the bands, based on its color:
- Examples:
- “Name one impossibly wild solution.”
- “Imagine a stranger’s perspective here.”
- “Question our biggest assumption.”
- “Recall a past success on this.”
- Accessory Tray:
- A shallow wooden dish beneath the orb holds sticky notes and a pen for jotting ideas.
How It Works:
- Select a Mode: Tilt the orb so the desired color band rotates into the frame.
- Read the Prompt: The single visible prompt appears in the frame.
- Engage: Ponder and jot ideas on the notes.
- Capture Insights: Place key notes in the dish; review them afterward.
