Diatama

Diatama is a machine-learning AR mobile virtual pet that teaches us to love and care for our earth and oceans.

Diatama = (Dia)tom + (Tama)gotchi

Diatoms are a marine and earth dwelling microorganism that number in the trillions and are essential to the ecosystems that sustain human life.

Tamagotchi are a handheld digital pet and one of the biggest toy and design fads to permeate 90s popular consciousness.
