WIDE MARGIN

An app-authored shadow promenade

Let the scene widen.

Move a sunline through fictional shared spaces. Shift the margin before naming what you see. Leave room for what the first view cannot tell you.

One view is a beginning, not a verdict.

Wide Margin is built around an ordinary spatial truth: move a little, and the relationship between light, route, threshold, and distance changes.

Ten visual walks help adults and older teens practice a calm sequence—describe the visible condition, preserve uncertainty, and choose the closest useful real-world resource. The app never asks for a report, a person description, a location, a photo, or an allegation.

01 · ARRIVE

Find the return point.

A first glance can miss the second passage, the space beside a queue, or the place where two paths reconnect. The opening walks make those relationships visible without turning ambiguity into suspicion.

02 · CROSS

Read the shared threshold.

Entrances, ramps, stairs, pauses, and closed doors create conditions—not explanations. The sunline moves through each condition while native text keeps the description precise.

03 · ROUTE

Follow more than the shortest line.

Direct paths, alternate approaches, visible endpoints, and detours belong in one frame. A lateral margin gesture makes room for route context without asking the user to type anything.

A respectful handoff

Known.
Unknown.
Needed.

  1. Name the route, threshold, light, or meeting condition you can actually see.
  2. Say plainly what this view cannot establish.
  3. Ask the nearest relevant resource for one clear piece of information.

The result is a temporary rehearsal sentence. It is not a report, judgment, score, or saved record.

“The east passage is closed. I cannot see why. I need venue staff to explain the open route.”

When the next step is clear enough, the crossing shadows separate. Reset or leave and the walk disappears.
