Precious Plastic Community

Bridge is a platform that exposes people to a wide range of political perspectives and enables one-on-one discussion between users. This project began when I started taking a closer look at my social media feed and became all too familiar with the toxic dialogue that often surrounded politics. It felt like we hid behind our screens and used our online presence to talk to each other in ways we never would in person. In addition, I became more and more aware of the recommendation algorithms that curated my social media feed and pushed me to only encounter political content I already agreed with. It was clear that social media was pushing people into their own echo chambers and becoming a vector for extremely polarized and toxic political discourse.

thirteen23 was approached to design and develop the mobile strategy for Barack Obama's 2012 bid for re-election. Working with Obama for America, the team crafted an ambitious set of mobile applications designed to support Obama's large base of campaign volunteers and grassroots supporters. Instead of creating a simple brochure application outlining the President's policies, the team focused on creating a real-time mobile solution to aid campaign organizers and volunteers working in the field.

Typical physical-digital and electronics prototyping require a fairly steep learning curve, meaning that hours are spent dealing with syntax. Many platforms rely on wiring and physical connections that can be fiddly and cause extra failing points within the design. SAM is designed to empower students, designers, and creatives of all ages and skills to make prototypes, connected products, and services, with zero code.

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!

In every vision of near future homes, households products are those ones that are connected to each other and always working together in harmony, creating that perfect, modern, and yet somewhat boring scenario. However connectivity changes not only the way we interact with objects, but also their meaning in our life. From tools they can became agents or companions with their own behaviour, motives and agency.

The main purpose for indoor climate systems is to create healthy environments with clean air and agreeable temperature for people’s well-being. Functionalities and features to improve air quality is evolving, and our increased environmental consciousness puts new demands on energy efficiency, as well as lowering cost and the overall environmental footprint.As one of the top innovative companies in the ventilation industry, Swegon faced a challenge with their new generation air handling units. Over the years, more and more features had been added making it increasingly complex and difficult to handle. It required professionals with extensive experience to navigate and handle the large number of settings needed to stage for a world-class indoor climate and also saving energy. Important functions were not being used, because many vital features were hidden and the users never understood how to use them or that they even existed. In 2010 Swegon engaged Veryday to help them transform an overloaded control system into a user-friendly control unit. Besides turning complex into simple they wanted this new control unit to play a key role in the overall brand experience.
