Powerchair football is soccer for people in motorized wheelchairs.The Argentine team trains only once a month due to costly and difficult logistics. Training requires a large space with a smooth floor, and the athletes have to bring their sport chair as well as their everyday chair.We created VR Power Trainer, a virtual reality platform that empowers players to train anywhere.Using human-centered design and input from the players, we built a virtual gymnasium where they can practice anytime.

In the midst of its worst drought in 500 years, designers in Smart Design’s San Francisco studio decided to help by designing a product that effectively influences residential conservation, reduces an individual’s water footprint, and adds meaningful value to people’s daily conservation efforts.

The ubiquity of security cameras in our world suggests we have become compliant being constantly recorded in public spaces. Yet privacy and data retention are hot topics and have made designers very much aware that their design choices affects what kind of data society we will become. In this current context, a growing group of designers worry about the dark side of automated data recording. This project explores ways in which recording data in public spaces can be used in a positive, constructive, and privacy-respecting way, to the benefit of the users of that space. We hope it can function as an antidote to the current (necessary, but often negatively framed) discussion on automatic data recording in public space.

We are a development team from an Estonian government organization (IT and Development Centre of the Ministry of the Interior). Our team is specialized in police systems which are used outside in the street in police cars. The development team consists of 15 members. We are entering this project into the disrupting category as the developed system is playing role in our security and the more officers want to use it the more secured our society becomes. Since 2004 Estonian police has been using a query system in their cars. 10 years is a long period for an IT system. In 2015 we started to develop a product called APOLLO, which would replace the old system. Currently our team is working on the new ePolice product which helps police officers to get information they need “in the field” without using walkie-talkies.

For centuries people around the Swedish lake Storsjön have talked about a mysterious lake monster called Storsjöodjuret. Since the 19th century hundreds of observations have been documented and there are even more unofficial testimonies. For a few years the monster was even on the Swedish list of protected species. There have been many attempts to catch or convincingly photograph the animal, but none of them have succeeded.

Carbon Insights helps people to learn about the CO2 impact of their purchases based on payment data and a personal profile. In addition, we give educational tips on how to lower your carbon footprint. By applying the lean startup method, we were able to accelerate innovation and be the first Dutch bank to make this available within the consumer banking app.

Our inspiration for the Little People™ Apptivity™ Barnyard came from watching young children play with apps and toys. They didn’t view the world as “digital” vs. “physical” but rather moved fluidly between both modalities and even used them together. We therefore set out to reinvent our classic farm playset to reflect how children naturally want to play. The Little People Apptivity Barnyard represents a new level of interactivity, where the app and toy are fully integrated and augment each other. The app provides a rich, living world while the conductive playset and figures provide a new, tangible way to explore this world. Everything works with everything else, just as children expect!

The Colour of Resilience is a physical and interactive exhibit launched at the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January 2023. It’s the first art project in history to have teams of refugee teaching artists painting canvas murals in four different refugee camps and displaced communities across four continents. Teaching artists painted with displaced communities and children to tell the stories of where they came from, how they got to where they are, and what they dream of for the future.
