Hangoutable

Optimising social get-togethers using a tangible interactive interface


A “connected object” concept built on an Arduino YUN and created with a teammate as part of my IxD master’s program.

Project overview

As students with heavy workloads throughout our coursework, we sought to address some pain-points of balancing work and social lives. We relied on fellow students to conduct the preliminary research as well as throughout prototyping iterations for this project.

Though I worked on much of the technical aspects (programming, logic and hardware), and my team-mate focused on the graphic design, product design and digital fabrication, the ideation and concept development was done by both of us in tandem.

The skills we each brought to this project were different yet complementary and proved to be truly integral in the production of this project.

The video concept was storyboarded, scripted, filmed and animated by me.
