Interaction Design Projekte an der HAWK Hildesheim

T
he shown prototype application contains the interactive narrative „Stars and Fish which employs various input methods and presents an intuitive interface. The concept also features the in-app-purchase of additional stories. Users can build their own collection of interactive bedtime stories.

“toBed” is a B.A. thesis at the HAWK University for applied Sciences and Art, Hildesheim, Germany. Info about the university.

One day the technology of electroactive polymers will drastically change the way we percieve products. Products will gain new dimensions ranging from changing tactile surfaces over active membranes to morphing shapes. Products of the future will be “alive”.

We´ll have to question future responsibilities of product design, for it will expand from mere shape and function to include topics such as behaviour and interaction.

“Funktionide” is a B.A. thesis at the HAWK University for applied Sciences and Art, Hildesheim, Germany. Info about the university.

Based on EAP-technology “Funktionide” is a concept for an emotional robot that substitutes human contact. In a future where technology will play a huge part in our lifes it is very likely that some day it will shift from satisfiying our basic functional needs to include our emotional needs as well. How will this future be? How do we want it to be? Will it affect our human interactions if we start to fall in love with machines? Will the machines fall in love with us?
