challenge from digitization

The digital age is all about participation, but rarely does it happen in public institutions such as art museums. The intent of the project is to explore if new services and technology would democratize the structure of a public institution: if the voice from the audience would obtain attention in the institution from bottom-up and if this participation could be useful and relevant for the institution in return.

a stage for amateurs

The final result <Open Studio> is a service that enables visitors in art museums to participate in amateur exhibitions with their handicrafts made in the museum workshop. Using 3D scanning technology, physical handicrafts are transformed to a interactive exhibition in the museum. The service suggests a desirable future direction for art museums to engage their audience, increases their enjoyment and encourages their creative expression.

a holistic approach

The project addresses my personal interest in complex system design that plays with both digital and physical design materials. The collaboration with Bildmuseet offers invaluable learnings throughout the entire project and concrete groundings for the proposed solution. I enjoy the freedom to be a designer without discipline and provoking concepts that are not traditionally considered as design challenge.

emerging autonomous ScENARIO

We foresee the merge of self-employed truck drivers in 2030. The speculation roots from primary research with truckers who consider freedom as a crucial aspect of the occupation. With the support of automation technologies, infrastructure evolution and data analytics, truck drivers will be able to deal with freight transport tasks even on the road.

level of automation

We imagine there will be LV3 autonomous system available in truck in 2030. The scenario in the video prototype is tailored to showcase two modes in autonomous driving: driving mode(manual), logistic mode(autonomous) and the transition in between. In driving mode, the trucker pays attention to driving while being able to receive updates of freight task states and automation availability. In logistic mode, she can fully pay attention to managing the delivery schedule.

a multi-modality HMI

The final design proposes a heads-up display (HUD) for task scheduling, with the support of auditory feedback to raise awareness and reinforce the visuals, and a tactile dashboard for secondary task scheduling information and other meta data of the task. A physical knob is introduced to interact with the HUD.
