# What does raise-to-view mean?

The intended receiving experience is a gentle vibration followed by raising your hand to reveal a picture, so you can choose a moment to look.

## Notice first, choose when to look
The receiving cue invites you to look when the moment suits. You do not need to keep watching a screen or stop what you are doing immediately.

## Small details affect the experience
Hand choice, finger orientation, movement, and fit are among the conditions a useful evaluation may need to cover. Final instructions should explain supported positions and known limits.

## Where would you like to see a thought?
At your desk, between errands or while slowing down in the evening: describe the moments that matter to you. Wearing and viewing guidance will follow with the product.
