From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“I was inspired by spiders in the wild with their super motion-detecting senses! Instead of electronic sensors, these real-life creepy crawlers use tiny hairs and slits in their bodies to feel miniscule vibrations, like when prey gets caught up in their webs.”
