About The Entry

After endless swiping on dating apps and exchanging meaningless information, more and more people are returning to offline dating in search of genuine, vibrant human connection. But can repetitive opening lines and superficial exchanges truly foster authentic communication? The answer is no. When romance arrives, concrete language seems to wither into dryness and tedium. Given this, why not try an anti-chat date?

We've chosen the classic setting of a bar, encouraging people to build more abstract, hazy romantic connections through music. You can signal your social status via your glass's light effects, and when clinking glasses with others, co-create heart-fluttering melodies. This melody will shift in real-time with the evolving vibe between you, immersing you in new lightscapes through interactive projections for a multi-sensory experience. Heart-fluttering or dull? This time, you needn't ponder clumsy words to express your feelings—the melody will reveal the answer.

Feel the new dating experience in this haze!
