"Twenty-four Tourists 二十四旅人" is an interactive, real-time calendar merging the 24 solar terms and the Chinese Calendar. It functions as a practical calendar and storytelling medium, conveying the current date and closest solar term with Chinese Almanac rules as decoration.

​

Initiating with the title "Twenty-four Tourists 二十四旅人," triggered by hovering over the Earth, the calendar unveils itself with the current date and 24 segments, each representing a solar term. Influenced by mouse movements, it dynamically generates data and stories related to the solar terms. The closest solar term is highlighted, accompanied by short stories inspired by ancient Chinese poems and simulations of the astronomical calendar.

​

Throughout the interaction, the sphere remains central and static, symbolising that time, depicted through light and shadow, is the true traveler. Concurrently, real-time content from today's Chinese Almanac floats and rotates, updating its position and information minutely, creating a day-by-day dynamic and immersive experience.
