The creative thinking process, delineated by Graham Wallas, unfolds in four stages: preparation, incubation, illumination, and verification. Initially, problems are identified, and relevant data is gathered during the preparation stage. Subsequently, individuals detach themselves in the incubation stage, facilitating fresh perspectives, with recording spontaneous thoughts being pivotal due to their unpredictable emergence.

Mobility, such as train travel, fosters creativity by offering novel scenery and relaxation, facilitating detachment from daily worries. Trains, with their expansive windows, are particularly conducive to this process.

IDOW targets train passengers seeking creative outlets, providing drawing interfaces and tools like various colors and erasers. AI aids in finding photos and organizing thoughts, assisting passengers struggling with expression or structure.

The mobile app enables users to preserve ideas sketched on windows effortlessly. AI analyzes the drawing process for key keywords and offers community features for idea-sharing and discussion, fostering creativity anytime, anywhere.
