Bring art into your life with the paper of the future. How the SwitchBot AI Art Canvas changes the landscape of your daily life

Bring art into your life with the paper of the future.

Just having one piece of art in a room
can significantly change the impression of the space.

It can help you relax when you come home,
or help you get into the right mood when you catch a glimpse of it in the morning.

Art has the power to change the landscape of your life
in a way that is different from furniture or lighting.

On the other hand, it is also true that people often feel
there are hurdles to incorporating art into their daily lives.

• "I don't know what to choose"

• "It's a hassle to change it every season"

• "I don't have a place to display it."

What the SwitchBot AI Art Canvas aims for is
to bridge the gap between you and art through technology.

A single frame
that transforms into a masterpiece at one moment,
and a family memory at the next.

We propose such an effortless relationship with art.

What is the SwitchBot AI Art Canvas?

The "AI Art Canvas" is a new art frame
that combines full-color electronic paper (E Ink Spectra™ 6) with
generative AI.

It doesn't emit light like an LCD screen,
but has a gentle texturelike paper.

Leveraging the diverse expressions made possible by AI,
we created it with the goal of making it a piece that naturally blends into the landscape of your life.

Seeking richness beyond mere "convenience"

Many of the products SwitchBot has released to the world so far
have been things that take over "physical tasks" for you,
such as:
・Automatically opening curtains
・Cleaning floors
・Managing keysThis was our starting point.

Our origin is to realize a world where "robots handle physical tasks, allowing people to immerse themselves in work that only humans can do."

However, this raises a question.

With the free time created by automation,
what will we fill it with?

Instead of filling the 30 minutes of free time you've managed to create
with even more information or stimulation,

it's okay to spend your time a little differently.

The AI Art Canvas is a product
born from that very question.

The choice of "paper of the future"

What we were particularly committed to with this product
was ensuring that the technology didn't assert itself more than necessary.

The star of the show is, above all, theartdisplayed on it.

That is why,
rather than having the strong presence typical of digital devices,
we aimed for a presentation where the artwork itself naturally stands out.

To achieve this, we adopted
the full-color electronic paper
E Ink Spectra 6™.

Its display, which reflects natural light to show colors,
has a texture close to paper,
and in addition to a soft appearance,
there is little color shift depending on the viewing angle,
allowing you to enjoy it naturally from anywhere in the room.

Also, this product is not equipped with a backlight.

Just as posters and paintings do not emit their own light,
this product also
allows you to enjoy a different expression at night
under indirect lighting or spotlights than you do during the day.

While being digital,
we have achieved the calmness that analog possesses.

What can you do with AI Studio?

TheAI Studiowithin the app
is a place to turn your words and memories into one-of-a-kind art.

By simply inputting your image in words like that,
the AI will create a piece of art based on that worldview.

Furthermore, in AI Studio, you can transform uploaded photos into,

• oil paintings

• watercolors

• Comic book style

and more, you can convert them into over 10 different styles.

What I especially want to recommend here is
using it to turn family memories into works of art.

• Your child's doodles

• Scenery captured on your travels

• A snapshot of your beloved dog or cat

There are surprisingly many photos
that are just sitting in your smartphone,
doing nothing but taking up space.

When those photos turn into gentle watercolor-like paintings
or works with the depth of an oil painting,
familiar memories start to look a little different.

Instead of just "saving" them,
you can "save them in a form you'll want to display."

The AI Art Canvas
transforms art into something you create together in your daily life.

*AI Studio is available for 590 yen per month, with the first 30 days free.

Sharing the same view, even when apart

And another feature that makes this product unique is
that you can change the images remotely by linking it with a SwitchBot Hub.

For example, for family members living far away.

• Send photos of your grandchildren

• Deliver seasonal greetings

• Have them display travel memories

Even for those who aren't comfortable with smartphone operations,
a frame in the room will naturally catch their eye.

The AI Art Canvas
also becomes a window for delivering memories and feelings.

A commitment to being cordless, so you aren't restricted in where you place it

When placing something in a room, the "wiring problem" is surprisingly significant.

No matter how good the design is,
the moment the cord is visible, it feels like everyday life.

You have to prioritize the location of the outlet over where you actually want to place it.
That kind of inconvenience really affects your satisfaction with your interior.

The SwitchBot AI Art Canvas iscordless.

• Wall-mounted

• Tabletop

It supports both.
You can place it neatly wherever you want.

Even though you want to enjoy it as art,
the presence of wiring enters your field of vision.

Avoiding that sense of discomfort as much as possible
was one of the points we wanted to value with this product.

Moreover, it only consumes power when updating the display.
If you change it once a week, it willlast up to about 2 years.

This is a point that surprises people who learn about this product for the first time.

Make art more your own.

“I want to change the atmosphere of my room a little”
“I want to preserve my memories in a better way”

I believe the AI Art Canvas
can be the first step toward that.

Bring art into your life with the paper of the future.

In the place where you spend every day,
add a view that settles your heart a little.

I would be happy if the SwitchBot AI Art Canvas
could become that kind of presence.
