"An Interactive Travel Pass - A Window to See Through the Buildings"

I envisioned a digital pass something lighter, disposable, a day ticket to navigate in the city. A window to look through the buildings to find interesting things, good deals or treasures without needed to stop or get off of the vehicle.

To visualize this concept in the pre-smartphone era of 2006, I developed low-fidelity physical prototypes demonstrating its functionality in future scenarios.

How We Experience Motion?

Exploring Motion: Leveraging the Urban Probes user research approach, I delved into understanding how we perceive motion and experience things while on the move. Participants were tasked with documenting their commuting journeys through photographs. This method offered valuable insights into what captures people's interest during transit and their preferred sights. Utilizing these findings, I prioritized features in the design process.
