Chabla – Mobile Interpretation Service

Architecture is one of the most amazing arts in the world. It deserves a more appealing way to let people know them. So how to create an immersive experience to discover famous architecture is the most important task in my design. When I look through the current interactions and games, the users’ journey is mainly about users getting instructions from the platform and then following the rules. But now it’s time to reverse the whole journey. Design with advanced technology is not just about giving a tutorial or a comfort zone for users. Because creating a fantastic world is not a privilege only for designers. Design could be an inspiration, an Eye of Agamotto, and even a magic wand beyond the physical world for everyone. Archimood is an AR app that helps you learn about the greatest buildings and let them interact with you! There are 10 different filters on it, where you can dance with buildings, create your own imagination and share with your friends. Archmood brings a whole new meaning to augmented reality. You can use simple, fun interactions to create creative augmented architectures around you. It improves the interactive experience among the whole physical world, human choreography, and users. It makes the learning process more vivid and participatory. In the future, every user will become an imaginer to co-create an amazing world by trying Archimood.

Musicians are unique. They each bring their own perspective to how they create and practice music. Rehearsal is a tablet application that is designed to support the diverse practicing habits of musicians, whether they read music or not. The Rehearsal App is designed to optimize practice rituals with tools that explain, curate, and inspire their music. The app is accessible to a variety of musicians because it supports their primary learning style, whether it is visual (sheet music) or aural (by ear), and provides methods that broaden their musical perspective. My goal in creating the app is to improve musicians' craft and comprehension.

By combining technologies that are currently emerging in laboratories, Nume completely changes the landscape of nutritional counseling. Our service provides the power of a knowledge, that is currently only available to people who can afford the time and money to regularly visit a nutritionist and conduct regular blood tests.

Given the current global movements to quell diversity it’s apparent that, as designers, we could be doing something about it. So we asked: How could we help celebrate culture and diversity, rather than suppress it? Considering the many ways we could go about helping to change the conversation, we recognized an opportunity space within the emerging world of Voice UI. Given the trajectory of Voice UIs—looking beyond seemingly inconsequential interactions like adding things to calendars, turning on lights, and triggering music—we envisioned a tool that could actually help immigrant parents raise their children as American while maintaining a meaningful connection to their native culture.

We collaborated with pro riders to create never-before-seen digital skate experiences. What came out of it changed the way skaters participate in the world’s biggest action sport.

One of the most wholesome fabulous projects in the world in the last decade has been a startup in Nairobi, Kenya. They are exemplars not only in the global digital community but particularly for the African design community in showing them what's possible to have big, hairy, audacious goals.

CBDCs for SDGs is a master’s thesis exploring ‘central bank digital currency’ (CBDCs), an emerging technology currently researched by 90% of the world’s central banks. Explained simply, one could think of it as a digital alternative to the physical cash produced by central banks, a public alternative to the electronic money in our private banks, or as a crypto-inspired national digital currency. Through strategic design, the project shows how CBDCs could enable new kinds of policies to achieve ‘the sustainable development goals’ (SDGs) in Norway.

Earth Bits is a data-driven journey to raise collective awareness around the environmental crisis, allowing visitors of maat - Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology in Lisbon - to experience climate change from scientific evidence. Earth Bits stimulates reflection on the relationship between science, humanity, nature, and technology in a very objective way. It shows the energetic transition and the current crisis, inviting visitors to explore the intrinsic relationship between people and the planet, understanding the repercussions of our choices and the impact of our actions. As designers, we facilitate the flux and translation of data as fuel for creating knowledge, cultural value, and critical thinking. Not merely providing information or solutions, but creating a new grammar of understanding, to read the complexity of our fast-changing time. Visitors can explore and experience knowledge with all their senses in the storytelling of four parts: four digital and interactive installations, graphics, animated videos compiled with data based on scientific evidence. An example of this approach is a digital wallpaper “painted” with data from the ESA – European Space Agency’s Copernicus program Sentinels (satellites to monitor our planet) that visually translates the scientific information for the public. The video – updated every month – shows the correlation between CO2 emissions by human activity, global warming, and natural phenomena such as floods, ice melting, rising sea levels.

Grin is a comprehensive digital/physical orthodontic platform that provides remote monitoring solutions to bring patients the convenience and responsible care they've come to expect while keeping licensed, local orthodontists at the center of their treatment.With the Grin platform, orthodontists can overcome the current challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic by strengthening existing patient relationships and reducing chair time by virtually reaching into their patients' mouths as if they were present for an in-person appointment.

For me, this selection was about the future, right? It's about where I hope interaction design will go. And the promise here is always, for me, about interdisciplinarity, about telling a story, about our capacity to imagine what the world might be, not what the world is. And this selection, for me, reflects all of those things. So for me, this was recipient exemplifies some of the things that I think are really important about where we're moving as a community.
