Inspired by traditional charm bracelets, we developed CharmInk — an interactive, low-cost, and personalisable charm system. Using e-ink displays, CharmInk allows users to upload and personalise visual content while requiring power only for updates. We demonstrate how CharmInk can display various cherished content, such as personal photos, symbols, and artwork, to express identity, commemorate loved ones, or serve as a remembrance. We demonstrate how this design encourages emotional attachment to digital wearables by fostering user creativity and aesthetic control.
