I hope to design products that reduce human dependency on digital technology. While the tech around us evolves speedily, we are devolving in lockstep as we become increasingly fixated and reliant on it. So many product lines are unnecessarily tech-active, confusing real value-adding for pixels and plastics. I hope to see our interpretation of human-centred design return to favouring the handcrafted and bespoke over universal, digital solutions. I hope to be a part of that change. No technology for technology’s sake.

The Project is focused on the intertwined processes of researching, information recording and information transmission. It intends to question the efficacy and effectiveness of traditional and contemporary methods of research through its Design. By taking a critical lens to these processes, the Project suggests an unorthodox alternative 3D-based visualisation system to assist users with research tasks through data linking.

The frustrations of finding library resources are all too common. As a result of inadequate researching tools, insufficient fluency with currently available tools and paralysis by over-stimulation caused by too many search results generated using typical search tools.
Even if the user is able to generate a shortlist of search results, determining relevance is a cumbersome, daunting task of locating resources or skimming endless pages of block text.
Library search systems often prioritise results based on keyword frequency, so the user rarely gets the most meaningful results on the first pages, just the ones with the highest keyword count.

The value proposition offered is a new way of visualising information. Users of search engines are offered grid layout textual lists or image grids, with only the vague assertion that the results are ranked in order of relevance to other users. As many search algorithms are proprietary, it is hard to define exactly how results are ranked. However, none can offer the visual experience of peering into a multi-layered 3-dimensional visual universe.
Moish Basserabie,
The results will be organised visually. More relevant results will be printed at a larger scale, while less relevant results will be printed at a smaller scale and faded to appear as if they are distant in space.

The Pod dimensions are 1050L 1050W 2000H mm. The scale ensures comfortable use when standing or sitting, and its height greater than the 95th percentile of human height envelops the user into the informational universe. A targeted approach to generating appropriate, tasteful and relevant CMF choices will focus on drawing from precedent work within adjacent contexts. The combined forms intend to sculpt an immersive universe that captivates the user into the content being displayed. The design uses a proprietary paper display that simulates the look and visual texture of a book page.

Informational nodes begin from central user inputs, with associated links generated and curated into sprawling networks.
