By merging virtual and physical on an interactive display, students at DSV have created a mixed reality tabletop experience. The project has been guided by the concept “ease of use”. We took the opportunity to pose a few questions to Erik Lopez, Hoda Ismail, Sharad Poudel, Stella Millwood and Leo Nordén. They are all final year students in the Master’s programme in Design for Creative and Immersive Technology and have spent the past months working together as a project team. What was your assignment in this course? “Firstly, we were required to develop an interactive prototype by applying concepts of design processes, focussing on knowledge that we gained throughout the programme. Secondly, we were assigned to collaborate with external stakeholders. We have been working with Adrià Cruz, XR designer and developer at Ericsson. He has supervised and contributed with key design guidelines for the project. And lastly, we generated empirical knowledge through data collection and analysis to write a paper.”
