My first collaboration project in the DESIGN 100 Course, at The University of Auckland. 

 

The target theme we decided to tackle together, was the idea of "Social Connectedness". The problematic audience being evolved around the sigma of gamers, and how society depicts them as "introverted" people. Also, many gamers often feel that pressure of being categorized by society - in a negative way. 

 

This project, we wanted to create a product that increases Social Connectedness through people interactions, as well as displaying positive impacts of gaming interactions, and how it can go hand-in-hand with improving social connectedness. Lastly, the reassurance this product can give gamers in today's society, will cleanse them of the sigma society previously had on them and their "introvertedness" 

 

We also applied a nostalgic theme, in implementing a CRT Monitor, a Sony TV, a retro push-button, with an LED light. Also a retro headphone set.
