Popularizing Implants: Exploring conditions for eliciting user adoption of digital implants through developers, enthusiasts and users was my master thesis / project in the M.Sc program “Media Technology: Strategic Media Development”. Digital implants have become a new frontier for body hackers, technology enthusiasts and disruptive innovation developers, who now seek to service this technology for themselves and to new users. This thesis has explored conditions for future user adoption of […]

Creative Technologies In The Classroom (CTC) is a part of the official Arduino Education program, CTC 101 is the flagship Arduino educational program for schools. Arduino CTC 101 is a modular STEAM program consisting of a toolbox with 26 projects and easy-to-assemble experiments, an online platform, and guided training/support for educators. The program, tailored for ages 13 to 17, has 5 modules and introduces students to the foundations of programming […]

Arduino ESLOV is a revolutionary plug-and-play IoT invention kit which was developed in conjunction with the PELARS EU project (read about it further down on page). Some features and technology used in ESLOV can be considered iterated outcomes or results from PELARS. ESLOV aims at radically simplifying the way you build smart devices. ESLOV consists of intelligent modules that join together to create projects in minutes with no prior hardware […]

The Arduino Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) is offered as a part of the official Arduino Education services. It is the communication and delivery infrastructure used for education content to reach educators, teachers, students and Arduino partners. The online platform features: Real-time online user support system and live streaming classes (including video calls) Training and support guides+videos for educators Account sign-up/invite system for users/educators/teachers/students  Administrative control and messaging system for […]

A light installation performed by Arduino Verkstad in Jakarta, 2013. 15200 LEDs in 3800 groups adding up to 1900 Chinese lanterns. 40 Arduino Mega boards, a specially designed shield to handle communications and a lot of manual work. My duties on this project was working on-location, to assist, document and direct media production/post-production.  

In 2013, BBH and Arduino collaborated in holding a week-long hackathon for young people in Jakarta, Indonesia. My role in the project was assisting production, documenting and directing media production/post-production on location.

Drawn To Life was my final bachelor degree thesis project in interaction design at Malmö University. It explores user interaction and dynamic narrative presentation in comics / manga on tablets and smartphones. It also emphasises alternative distribution techniques and digital rights management (DRM). The final thesis can be found at MUEP or in this link. Drawn To Life is an investigation into giving creators tools for added depth perception, interactivity and […]

Mitos is a game design project exploring novel game control interfaces. The aim of the game is to evolve an organism, helping it reach sunlight. Symbolically, the game is controlled by transferring your “life-force” into the organism through breathing, essentially helping it stay alive. The idea is to give people the simplest form of control, which could aid people with reduced motor skills or disabilities. The prototype was positively evaluated […]

UNIME is a service design project developed together with Kentaro Ono and Yuka Fukuoka during my exchange studies at Tama Art University, Japan. The concept / prototype is a collaborative digital platform that creates an organised infra structure for supporting isolated individual manga creators within an university context. The service’s central function is to help students find partners, start projects and distribute work together. The system supports features like role […]

Geoexplorer is game prototype that emphasises novel game mechanics when discovering and exploring 3D environments within a MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Roleplaying Game) context, using real-life user location and GPS data. When a player connects to the GeoExplorer system, their GPS location in the real world is calculated in correlation to another player in-game. This distance between players, determines the game-world size. So in order to explore the dynamic game […]

Kaiten Zushi is a service design analysis assignment of a successful local business venture resulting in a customer journey map (CJM). This CJM created by myself, Kentaro Ono and Yuka Fukuoka, hints at how this particular sushi venture’s success relies on circulating customers as efficiently as their sushi serving mechanical train.
